Seventy Percent (70%) Electronic Safe Lockouts Can be Avoided

May 13, 2017 By

Seventy percent (70%) of Electronic Safe Lockouts and Electronic Safe Problems can be avoided by just having good quality batteries.

 

Terry Whin-Yates opening locked Sentry Electronic Data Safe

 

Mr. Locksmith has some of the newest and modern safe tools to open most  Electronic Lock Fire and Data Safes without or with minimal damage to  the safe door and no damage to the safe contents.

Most Electronic Safe lockouts and problems are a result of dead, failed or cheap batteries.  Replace AA or 9 volt batteries with new Duracell Batteries.  Many of the Electronic safe lockouts I attend, I just replace the batteries.  Sometimes the old batteries have corroded the contacts and I use a special Electronic Jump Box as a power boost to safely open the electronic safe. However, seventy percent (70%) of the lockouts I just replace the batteries.

Save yourself from an electronic safe lockout.  To get the newest and freshest batteries buy from a high volume shop like WalMart.  You can buy other batteries and take your chances but we use only Duracell batteries.

Mr. Locksmith Video “How to open a Locked Bathroom Lock or bedroom lock with a Milk Jug or Credit Card.” Part 2

April 29, 2017 By

Mr. Locksmith Video “How to open a Locked Bathroom Lock or bedroom lock with a Milk Jug or Credit Card.” Part 2. At www.mrlocksmith.com I get several calls a week from customers locked out of a Bathroom or Bedroom. Most of the bathroom locks are very simple to open. My earlier youtube video “How to open a locked bathroom lock or bedroom lock video Part 1 by Mr. Locksmith” (http://www.mrlocksmith.com/Videos.shtml) showed you how to open 99 percent of locked bathroom locks with a pen, pick or metal skewer. However, if the lock is malfunctioning or an older style you will need to slip the lock with a Credit Card or a plastic milk jug. Coming soon “How to Drill Open a Locked Bathroom or Bedroom lock Part 3”.

Top 10 Locksmith Tools for the Beginner Locksmith

March 18, 2017 By

Top 10 Locksmith tools for the beginner locksmith by Mr. Locksmith.

  1. Locksmith Tweezers: Special Tweezer with the ends rounded to hold pins.
  2. Follower: HPC 4 pc follower set to remove plug from cylinder.
  3. End Cap Removal Tool: You can use an awl, ice pick or pick but the end cap tool makes the job easy.
  4. Kwikset Cylinder Removal Tool: This inexpensive tool makes removing Kwikset cylinders and rekey locks easy.
  5. Key Gauge: Several manufactures make Key gauges, I like the ProLock 4 in 1 Key Gauge (Kwikset, Weiser, Schlage, Westlock). I just found the new 5 in 1 that has added Master Padlock.
  6. Shims: See the new upcoming video on “How to Shim a Lock with No Key” Subscribe to my Youtube Channel for updates.
  7. Pick Set & Tension Wrenches: Hook, Rake and Diamond Pick. The best lock pickers mostly use the Hook pick. You decide which is best for you.
    * Note: I use a hook with a diamond (Peterson Hooked Diamond or Deforest pick Pick).
  8. Pin Kit: Just get a Lab Universal Pin Kit (.005 or .003)
  9. Pinning / Work Mat: Lab Workbench Pinning Mat is the best I have used.
