I took all my locks off so I could re-key them with just one key instead of the 3 I have now.
I've seen the threads about re-keying them, but I was wondering if I could just remove the wafers and any other removable parts and just soak the parts in Simple Green to really get them clean. I'm talking about putting the barrel (the part the wafers and springs go in) and wafers and springs, either in the barrel or in pieces, in a small container and soaking them. I was then planning on getting new wafers, making them all the same for the same key, re-lubing them with lithium grease and reassembling everything, then taking them to a locksmith and having just one key made that matches all of them. Is this the correct procedure? Did I miss anything? Anybody done this, and can you tell me if there are issues that I'm missing? |
