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.
Take it to a locksmith & they can pull it out for you. Should be very inexpensive.

Unfortunately I can’t say for sure. I haven’t done automotive work in 16 years, but typically yes, anything you get replaced that’s related to the security system, needs to be reprogrammed to the key or car.

I would assume yes. You could search for a compatible lock at Strybuc.com, or if you know the manufacturer of the door, you may be able to get one from them or through a distributor who sells that brand.

You can install a latch guard to cover the gap between the jamb and the door. Or, if the lock is installed and adjusted correctly, you can’t pull the latch back. It’s designed to lock the latch in the extended position. https://youtu.be/x0Rl_j-xJhY?si=3paMiQhzjrwwkxnE

There are a lot of components that goes into the set up you are talking about. It’s very difficult to interpret what you’re trying to do exactly, I’m not sure you’re using the correct terminology. This set up consist of a special type of push bar that has a switch in it, a mag lock, power supply, some form of card reader, fingerprint reader etc. I would highly recommend hiring a professional as this is something that needs to be designed & installed correctly. There are also local codes that restrict usage of mag locks in some areas, or require special permits for installation of these.

Yes mgmt will know you tried to use your fob. There is an audit trail even if it doesn’t let you in. They are the ones who have to deactivate it unless it expires on its own.
