Glue in lock?

Not saying I don't slip every once in a while, but we _really_ shouldn't use it at all. Agreed?

your

Problems.

Agreed...

No it wasn't. The post was:

" CNN had a story this morning about a shopping mall where a vandal got in at night and squirted super glue into the locks of a couple of dozen stores. The story said that locksmiths had all of the stores open by midmorning. How do locksmiths typically deal with a situation like this? Is there anything that can be done short of drilling the locks?

As you can plainly see there were two questions:

"How do locksmiths typically deal with a situation like this? "

and

" Is there anything that can be done short of drilling the locks?

Neither of them are how to remove glue. In my experience most locks used in those type of applications are frequently biaxial and almost always close enough tolerance that you will spend all day trying to desolve enough glue to get them to function with a key. Something 'Key' obviously knows. Consequently that isn't how 'Key' would open them and he chose not to share the information of how he would.

and you decided to tell Bob nothing to resolve his

You also didn't tell him how a locksmith, at least a competent one would deal with the problem. Which was his question. Not how to desolve glue. The stores proprietor can squirt Acetone, MEK, Etc in the lock. Why the hell do they need a locksmith to do that?

You really need to spend some time

Aren't you tired of coming here and losing every damn argument you start?

Oh that's right........... I forgot.............. you're one of the professional locksmiths who remain using WD-40 as your prime lubricant in locks. The rest of us fools only use products such as Houdini... CRC... and Inox. The quality of crap and misinformation that is given on this NG is amazing. 'Biaxial' locks being typical of a majority of shops........... please. You have so many secrets to not discuss I'm surprised you guys don't try to write in code. You could rename this NG to the 'alt.lock-whisperers'. As long as your little group continues believing that locksmiths don't swear and are regular church attendees.... the longer you'll be happy to remain in complete ignorance. How are you going to explain that word 'damn' you used???

duh !!! WD-40 is not a lubricant :-)

if you're going to run your mouth ? at least get your troll correct...

If superglue, acetone.

I'm not reading the rest of thread.

You already lost this one. As I recall nobody here agreed with you before and I doubt anyone's going to now. It was a nice try at a dodge though since you can't even begin to refute my telling you you were full of it and why. The subject here that you are avoiding was that the OP's original question didn't have a damn thing to do with how to disolve glue as you claimed it did.

The quality of crap and misinformation that is given on this NG is

It's a public forum. I can't prevent your posting crap if you are determined to do so.

'Biaxial' locks being typical of a majority of shops...........

Umm because I never took either of the positions you just stated. I also haven't strongly advocated the secrecey position either. I'm not surprised you're clueless on that though, why would that be any different than anything else?

Nice2cu didn't say WD-40 is a lubricant. If you're going to poke fun at nice2cu, you should at least make it relevant and accurate. Where'd he say it's a lube? He only said some locksmiths USE it as a lubricant.

You're the only one saying it's not a lubricant. The makers of WD-40 say it IS a lube. From their groovy website:

"WD-40 is the ultimate multi-purpose problem solver. WD-40 cleans/degreases, penetrates to loosen up stuck parts, prevents corrosion and is a light lubricant."

And:

" LUBRICATES: WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and tenaciously held to all moving parts."

Rad

what I use WD-40 for is ONLY its WATER DISPLACING property, here the locks get rained in, and its easy for folks to respray their locks MONTHLY as needed, without them doing any damage to same, as can be done with graphite based sprays --Shiva--

Who are you responding to?

agree, WD-40 "cleans/degreases, penetrates to loosen up stuck parts and helps prevent corrosion" but it is really NOT to be used alone as a lube... if you had 22+ years experience with WD-40 ? You would know that...

no flame intended...
