I bought a used Fender Strat TSA lock case for my guitar and it did not have a key with it. If I want to be able to lock the case, should I replace the entire lock or should I try to get a replacement key or have one made?

Asked by Ken D. over 8 years ago

I would guess you could probably order a key for it with a google search. Those cases are just a deterrent, nothing more. Probably not even worth locking in my opinion. Someone can just carry the whole case off and open it later with a big screwdriver.

I have a double front door for my home entry. The deadbolt throw from the left door goes into a metal channel in the right door. The channel is not deep enough for the 1" throw. What can I do about this?

I live in a multi tenant house. My key lets me into the side door (a common entry point for all tenants) and my door. I asked my landlord: doesn't that mean the other tenants can get into my apartment with their side door keys? He says no. Is he lying

Asked by anonymous tenant almost 9 years ago

Haha no he is not lying. It’s called “masterkeying a lock”. Entire office buildings are masterkeyed so a Bldg Mgr can carry 1 key & get in every door, but every door can also have its own individual key that doesn’t work anything but that 1 door.

Would you recommend those Smartkey locks that allow you to re-key yourself or not?

Asked by E. Sky. almost 10 years ago

If you had asked me that a couple years ago I would have told you no. They had a lot of problems initially. I believe they are on their 3rd version now and it seems to be holding up pretty well. So basically sure I would. They're a pretty good lock.

I lost the key to my 1999eclipse. Can I take one of the door locks out and take it to a locksmith and have a key made? Is that possible? Greg

Asked by Greg L. about 8 years ago

If you don’t have chip in your key, which I don’t believe you do, you should be able to. Passenger side would be your best bet for a few reasons. If a car manufacturer puts a code on a lock, it’ll be the passenger door lock (not all do). If you damage anything while taking it out, it won’t effect your every day use since you rarely open your passenger door.
