You don't always need a Removal Key for Desk Locks

[@daveaedion]

First time one of these cylinders popped out while picking it was kind of an "oh wow" moment. #Lockboss

[@garywatts5477]

I work as a "locksmith" for a school district. I get work orders for these all the time. The core pops outs and they don't know what to do. Before I knew about the exraction key I found i could, often, jiggle any key that fit to unlock and remove the core OR use my pick set to remove it. Come to find out the ladies that work in the office are using the extraction key to unlock the file cabinets and are surprised by the fact the core come out.

[@geraldskinner63]

I had no idea! So many locks to discover on this #lockboss journey. Thanks PJ

[@c.a.mlocksmith]

#Lockboss awesome video. Great information. Cool tips because tomorrow I am going to go rekey 14 file cabinet locks. Customer wants 1 key to open all the file cabinet. Right now all 14 file cabinet are keyed different. Working on some Hon brand. Thanks for sharing this tips. Perfect timing 👌

[@clksupplies]

Awesome! Have fun!-PJ

[@jamesestep76]

Don’t have removal key for desk locks video. Thanks pj. James estep locksmith n tennessee #lockboss#lockboss

I love it when "adding a tool to the toolbox" can be metaphorical instead of literal! Knowledge weighs nothing, and all of that. Thanks for enlightening us! #Lockboss

[@johnfalk6955]

Another GREAT #Lockboss Tip for those in NEED without Specialty Tools. Always good to know these little TRICKS of the Trade. Thank You PJ.

[@al.locksmith7439]

Yes, #Lockbosstop. I would most definitely use this method preferably. Why spend money on control keys. It's just not worth it. And this method works great. I really like this one. Thank you for uploading. Looking forward to more of your videos. Very informative.

[@edparadis1578]

Great video PJ, this is exactly the same way that I have been doing it for over 30 years. It's great when all that you work with is Steelcase and have easy access to the plug removal keys, but in my real world, that has not been the case. I figured that out back when others were either walking away or reaching for a drill motor usually with catastrophic results. Great video showing how a #Lockboss does it!

[@clksupplies]

Right, in the real world these little things are super helpful -PJ

[@venusfly1323]

Great info PJ. Now I know when I come across a desk or cabinet lock.# lockboss

[@felixmak4727]

Thanks for sharing this method, the control isn't always right in front all the time 👍

[@kevinbacon9660]

Once again, a great practical video for us #lockboss folk! Of the calls I’ve had for these, I have always used my picks to remove the core and have had success, but I REaLLY like this idea. It is certainly faster! Thank you!

[@clksupplies]

Absolutely--PJ

[@locksmithandmore]

most of the time all the keys are lost so I have to pick them and use a pick to pull the core anyway. Have a few control keys haven't used them yet. Great info for a refresher or for anyone not familiar with these. #Lockboss

[@mikebaker3662]

Great ! This will be very helpful for me, an HVAC tech by trade, but I work in a building where we tackle file cabinet and desk key situations on a regular basis. I have a few core keys for certain brands, but not all. This will be helpful Still learning all I can about desk,file cabinet and camlocks.

[@kennethg.stutmann8107]

Good information,but I'm having trouble with car ignition. I've had a few where I cut new keys and the key doesn't want to come back out. #Lockboss

[@lmars5933]

Great information pj thanks for all you do for the lock sport community and locksmiths...😎

[@ReyesJohnNathaniel]

What if I lost the key to the old lock and have to change the core . What to do without the original key?

[@keithwhatley5094]

Actually I haven't ever had one of these plunger locks but I'm glad to get a pre-emptive look at how to take one apart if I have to. My question is do they usually take pretty standard wafers? Or do you need the National/compx type kit? #Lockboss

[@clksupplies]

Yes, 99% of the time standard wafers will work -PJ

[@mikes7471]

Good video ... Still new to my seconded career I haven't done any office furniture yet so I haven't gotten any Control Keys yet .. After seeing this video I feel that I can do the job and maybe see about getting some Control Keys later on ... Thank You Sir ... #LockBoss

[@curlyq1269]

Nice video PJ! Thank you! Wafer locks are easy to work, but you can always learn something! CLK & PJ are wonderful resources! I usually use the method that you have shown. #Lockboss

[@lockmechanic]

Thanks for the #Lockboss tip, PJ! Learned a new method/technique!

[@tumblersfalllocksport218]

I use removal keys sometimes but its hard to keep up with them when your in the field. its a lot easier to just use a pick. great tip PJ. Keep them coming. #lockboss

[@clksupplies]

💯-PJ

[@davidcox9983]

A straight pick or pocker works as well. #Lockboss

[@georgeblair7129]

Not just desk locks. Some bike and other utility locks are often removable in the same manner. #lockboss

[@clksupplies]

💯-PJ

[@philherman5209]

Great information. I’ve not rekeyed a desk or cabinet lock, when the time comes I’ll be better prepared. Thanks PJ. #Lockboss

[@firefighter1241]

Sharing tips and tricks like this are a big help. Thanks PJ. #Lockboss

[@StickFace-SF9]

Interesting to hear. Most of what I mess with are padlocks and door keys, so a lot of this is new to me. #lockboss

[@edmsecurity4564]

Great info PJ. I wouldn't have thought to use an extractor. Go #Lockboss !

[@TheDavila10458]

That was really insightful. Thought you were going to pull out the plug without the actual key for the plug. No matter what you have to use the extractor then. Thank you for the instructions. #lockboss

[@keys.on.demand3085]
