Got another chance of being out in the field!
The first lock was easy and I had decoded the key for that lock at the shop because it worked all 7 of the exterior doors. When I did the second lock I had a problem. I had to rekey the locks to a 6 pin key and the cylinders where keyed to 5 pin with the 6th chamber being empty. So when I put the follower in the cylinder, the 5th TP fell into the 6th chamber of the plug. So my key was stuck in their. Arrrgghh!
Anyways, after trying to fix it for 10 minutes I just moved on the other locks because I felt that the foreman was probably watching me. So after I am at the last lock and I just loosed up the set screw and the cylinder would not spin out easy as I think they stripped the threads when installing that cylinder. It was an Adam's Rite lock.
So after I took my lunch break I came up with a solution. I removed the inside thumb turn, stuck a business card below the cylinder so I can remove the screws on the cam. The business card was to make sure the cam screws won't fall down into the door. Oh yeah, by this time I had fixed the previous lock mentioned above my raking it back into position, whew!
So now I used the key to turn the plug and stuck the follower into the cylinder while it's still mounted in the lock. I carefully loaded the top pin into the 6th chamber then loaded up the plug and finished the change combination.
I then called my boss and told him I was finished. My coworker said he was very proud on my finishing up so early.
This was just day 1. I still have 2 days to go but that's another story for another time if you guys are interested.
CLH!
