The Official Status Update Thread: Part 67 - Snowpocalypse Now!

I used to key locks in a former job, many moons ago. I still have keying & pick sets for Kwikset & Schlague Locks, but it would take me a few minutes to remember what to do. I worked that job 1985-1990.

Some Schlage locks are harder because the key hole is so small. I actually need to buy some Slim picks to be able to pick my deadbolt at home.

I do remember that, even back then. Worked with another guy doing the keying. I could never pick a locked up Schlage, I'd just hand it to Frank.

But based on that, I have always used Schlage locks on my houses.

Yup, after learning that I'm putting them on all of mine in the future.

Although, now that I think of it, I have used that keying kit about 5 years ago. My current house was renovated before I bought it in 07.

After I bought it, I took the locks apart to remove the "builders key".

The builders key is not supposed to work after the owners key is used, but I have seen that system fail.

Did you get your client convinced it wasn't your fault the testing wasn't going as he was wanting it too??

he is having another person come down around 2:30 to look at the setup and see what I did wrong.

Gawd I'm so out of shape. My body feels broken from all the shoveling I did yesterday. Now I'm supposed to drive across town and do the same thing at the in-laws. This promises to be fun.

Well, at least the roads are good now. At least they are here.

I used it to keep my coffee from spilling while it was in the cup-holder of the skid-steer I borrowed from next door to clear the back lot and drive.

 

[Westside]

this is what I used at work to clear the lot. we have a really nice neighbor.

I had never driven one on snow and ice before. It was a little unnerving at first. The slide around a lot more than you think they would.

Those do a really nice job. The station down the street was using one just like that when I was having my snow tires put on yesterday. It made for a really quick job.

I have never done that, but have been on one to clean a dairy barn. That's just as slick.
