Repairing Sargent Mortise Lock

[@4a8d698f]

That's why God made Brake Cleaner! a drowning in CRC Break Cleaner, drip dry followed by LPS1 and some white lithium grease. Good to go. Love everything you do J.

[@DonzLockz]

I was thinking the same but what is LPS1?

[@4a8d698f]

I try to go easy on the white lithium grease. Direct metal to metal contact and LPS1 the rest. The LPS1 will also help with corrosion and dirt.

Latch assembly is terrible on these locks. Getting the cover back on is a chore as well. Anyone have tips on getting the cover back on easily?

Great information Jason. Thanks for the video .😎

Looking forward to this. I always find the problem solving stuff interesting to see how you fix it. Also enjoy the key making process of old locks.

Nice video Jason ! I got a little nervous when you said you were gonna flip it over. I was relieved when you didn't. When we save a customers lock from the junkpile by storing old locks for parts, do you think we're compensated correctly or is it just the good natured tendency most locksmith's seem to have ?

Nice work Jason, always like seeing the older stuff kept going while they are still useful, instead of being chucked before their time. Houdini is about the closest thing to a miracle in a can :-)

If you gently tap the case with your screwdriver handle is makes it loosen up the case if it is sticky.

Nice job. They are lucky that you had a spare with you

Great repair video. It just needed a little TLC. And nice tip on the loctite.

[@KingStreetRob]

Oh, no. Not the big bastard file case !!!

[@selock]

King Street Rob I’m so friggin irritated about that, likely enough to furiously tweet dewalt

[@KingStreetRob]

@@selock Those thin snaps always break if you don't treat them nice...

[@swgeorgia]

Take a picture before disassembly...just in case...

[@DonzLockz]

I doubt I will do the same but good to see just in case. Lol. ✌😎

What coo doin weth the Klein electricians screwdriver? Would you like a nice leather file case? Guaranteed not to break, those plastic boxes just don't last long, so you have to buy new ones.
