Mortise Lock Installation Edison NJ |
| This first mortise lock installation is on a pair of solid carved doors on a new house for a client of Bills Lock, Safe & Security. This beautiful new home is located in Edison New Jersey.
I had to be creative with the location of the lock within the carved door panel. Fortunately there are circular areas within the door design that made for a minimally intrusive installation for the lock and handle. The oil rubbed bronze Baldwin mortise locket was selected in part because the design is similar to the carved door panel. By selecting an appropriate lock design and then making a difficult custom installation, the beauty of the carved panel door is not diminished in any way by the functional mortise lock and handle. |

| Home Remodeling Project The next lock installation was on my own kitchen door during a recent home remodeling project. I’ve seen this Baldwin knob design in the catalog for years and despite installing hundreds of mortise locksets, no client had ever selected this style, I love it. In addition to installing the mortise lock, I finished the door interior to match the cabinets and painted the outside to match the house. You don’t want to know how many hours I have in the finishing of this door! |

| Mortise Lock is a lock that requires a mortise or hole cut into which the lock is fitted.
Mortise locks do have advantages over more common cylindrical locks. Mortise locks are often sturdier locks that offer more protection from an unauthorized entry attempt. Also many people consider Mortise locks to be more attractive in appearance. Any door requiring the mortise cut be made before lock installation should be left to a trained locksmith or security professional. Serving NJ / NYC / CT / MA / Eastern PA |

| Diebold Safe Opening Massachusetts | |||
|
Bill's Lock, Safe & Security got a call from a gentleman in the Natick, MA area. He is the fourth generation owner of an antique Diebold safe in absolutely pristine condition. He wanted the safe opened without drilling it. Everyone he called in the area wanted to drill the safe, so he took to the Internet and found Bill's Lock, Safe & Security website through a search.

Bill and the client talked at great length about the job and agreed on a date to do the work. Bill traveled to Massachusetts and within a couple of hours of being on the job site, had the safe open by manipulation. Among other things inside the safe was the original paperwork between the Diebold and the man's great grandfather. The safe had been delivered in February of 1924. Also inside was the original combination on the original paper from Diebold, the exact numbers Bill had used to dial open the safe. All of the inner compartments had the original antique flat steel keys, except the drawer that was labeled as the grandfathers. Bill took the lock back to the Linden, New Jersey shop, found as close to original antique key as possible and made a new key for the lock. Bill then sent the lock back to his new friend in Massachusetts. |

| AMSEC fire safe repair Summit, NJ 07902. |
| This is a fabrication of which I am particularly proud. Bill’s Lock, Safe & Security was called in to upgrade an AMSEC fire safe that was mounted in a wall in a house in Summit, NJ 07902.
The safe had a simple straight tailpiece combination lock and a key lock. The key is actually the handle as it retracts the bolt work and gives the user something with which to pull open the door. In this case, the combination lock had given the owner trouble in the past and someone had removed the wheels from the lock. Only the small key was securing the safe. We removed the door and took it to the shop for fabrication. First, we did not want to rely on something as small as the key for the handle. I did a full machinists drawing of the plug of the key lock and had a new “handle arbor” made from stainless steel at a machine shop. |
|
| While they were making that custom piece of me, I fabricated a lock mounting plated from steel and welded it to the inside of the door. To it, I supplied and installed a LaGard 33E ComboGard electronic safe combination lock. I then cut and attached a blocking bar to the bolt carrier bar so that it would engage the bolt of the new electronic safe combination lock.
After I got the piece from the machinist, I installed it in the shell of the original key lock, attached the bolt carrier bar, indexed the assembly and finally, welded a stainless steel flat bar onto the arbor to create a handle. We reinstalled the safe door and tested everything, it works great! |

| Meilink Safe Opening Pequannock, NJ |
| This is a Meilink safe that we opened by drilling up in Pequannock, NJ 07440. The existing combination would not work and the woman who owned it said that she felt a little snap when she last locked the safe.
With a well placed, single ¼ hole, we quickly opened the unit and discovered the problem. The number two wheel in the combination lock came out in three pieces even though it was made of plastic. |
 |
 |
| We took the safe door to the shop, welded shut the hole through the door and fabricated to install a LaGard 3650 swingbolt electronic combination lock. Now the owner does not have to dial the safe lock open, she just pushes buttons and turns the handle. |

| Trenton NJ 08608 – Masterkey Set Up & Access Door Repairs |
| Bill’s Lock, Safe & Security does a lot of work for PSE&G. When PSE&G moved their billing center across the street in Trenton, Bill moved the safes and the teller cash stations into the former bank building which had been renovated for the new office space.
Masterkeying the new office space was the first part of the job. The next phase involved re-hanging a pair of bronze and glass entry doors in the lobby that were in a horrible state of disrepair. The doors were bent, the pivots were worn and the Rixson floor checks were slamming in order to close the doors, since there was no longer a gap between them. |
 |
| Picture above shows worn out door pivot that was replaced on the job |
 |
| Bill and his crew removed the doors, cut off the top pivots and the Rixson pivots and installed two Roton 780-210HD heavy duty full surface hinges. They then reinstalled the doors and added two LCN 4041 door closers on LCN 4040-18 drop plates. The Roton hinges in the photograph are in clear aluminum finish. They were later painted to match the bronze finish of the doors.
The finished bronze door repair resulted in a perfect 3/32 gap between the two doors. Both doors operate as intended and the job was completed in a single day.
