25 Years Experience
Austin, TX
Male, 46
I've been a locksmith since 1998. I did automotive residential & commercial work from 1998 to 2008. From 2008 to 2018, I did some residential, but mostly commercial work. I have been project managing & estimating since 2018. I used to locksmith in the Chicago area, now the Austin area.
Haha you must watch a lot, can’t say I’ve ever even heard of locksmith porn. I had a woman ask me to have sex with her once, but I turned her down. She was going through a really hard time & was looking for affection. That’s not the kind of person I am to take advantage of someone like that. I doubt I would lose my job if it wasn’t interfering with work. ¯\_(?)_/¯ Is 2 contenting adults having sex legal? Pretty sure.

When you say electronic locks, I am picturing all the hundreds of products currently on the market that either take batteries or are hardwired. You’ll have to be more specific.

Just to get the obvious out of the way, insert a flat head screwdriver into the tailpiece hole and turn it. Try to open your door and shake it as you do it just in case it might be pinched. If that doesn’t work, it could be a broken bolt. You will need to basically rip the latch bolt apart from the inside. Eventually you will remove the blockage and the bolt will pull back. Sometimes it can take a while.

Yes, put some blue (medium strength) Loctite on the threads of the cylinder. Thread it into the door and get it positioned exactly where you want it, then don’t touch it for a couple hours while it dries. That should do it. I’ve done this in a pinch in the past when I couldn’t repair a mortise lock as a PERMANENT solution. Never had a recall on it. It’s not AS secure as the screw, but 99% of thieves are not even going to attempt to unscrew a mortise cylinder. Most wouldn’t even know it’s able to be unscrewed. They break windows & kick in doors.

Assuming it’s too suck to use a strong magnet, but if not, I would try that. Aside from that, there aren’t many options for a homeowner due to the restricted space. Locksmiths have special tools to pull out broken keys or things like this, sometimes we have to drill out the lock and replace it depending on how bad it’s stuck. I would call a locksmith.
