Mr. Locksmith™ is an ABLOY® Protec Authorized Dealer

In keeping with our tradition of offering the highest level of security to commercial and residential locations, Mr. Locksmith™ is an authorized Canada dealer for ABLOY® Protec locking systems.

About Abloy:

Originating in 1907, Abloy is well known throughout the world for their dedication and success when it comes to creating some of the most secure locks that are both drill and pick-resistant. Even their older generation lines are still proving to be exceptionally resistant to attempts at defeating the security that they provide. This places Abloy in a unique class of high security locking devices.

Notable Features of Abloy Lock:

One of the primary features of Abloy locks is their ability to be drill resistant. Most Abloy locks are constructed from hardened steel as well as offering thick anti-drill plates. Having their locks created completely from hardened steel sets Abloy locks apart from other manufacturers that utilize brass with hardened inserts for their construction. Many of Abloy’s locks also feature an anti-drill plate that is fully free-spinning. This will keep a drill from achieving penetration by being able to turn 360 degrees when coming in contact with a drill bit. The locks also feature other steel components and an anti-pull sidebar. For locks that are more prone to being attacked, a 1/4″ anti-drill plate is designed to protect the front of the cylinder. All of these features add up to the creation of locks that offer drill protection that you won’t find in other lock designs.

For environmental reliability, Abloy disk detainer locks feature a self cleaning design that allows dirt and other foreign matter to simply fall out of the lock upon key insertion or removal. With no exposed springs or areas for dirt build up, Abloy locks are designed to be used in exceptionally harsh environmental conditions without compromising their reliability. They also offer a padlock line that is IP68 certified (the highest IP rating). This Super Weather Proof (SWP) padlock line provides protection against liquids, salt, dirt, etc. even when used under extended pressure for extensive periods of time.

Additional Abloy Protec2 features include a master key system capability with 1.97 billion possible combinations that provide both security and convenience. There is also a new anti-wear system that will decrease the possibility of key tip wear even when the keys are subject to over tens of thousands of uses.

The Abloy Protec2 is the next generation of the Abloy’s highly successful Abloy Protec line of high security locks. These locks are similar in design to the original Abloy Protec locks but with some additional technical features for increased security. Within the keys, there exists a moveable element whose feature is to foil attempts at creating counterfeit keys. There is also a patent in place that legally forbids the creation of 3rd party key blanks. The original Abloy Protec patent will be valid until 2019, while the Abloy Protec2 patent is valid until 2031. Even after the patents are no longer valid, Abloy maintains a tradition of key blank control that has historically extended to their other security product lines.

August Smart Lock Review

I was not impressed with the August Smart Lock. They did fix an earlier critical vulnerability security flaw that potentially allowed an intruder to use a mobile app to find an August lock, based on an identification number that Bluetooth devices often broadcast wirelessly and then open the lock.

Most if not all Electronic Deadbolts sold in Hardware Stores and now Electronic stores have minor to major security flaws. I have been testing some upgrades but unless you need the Home Automation feature of remote or keyless entry stay away. However, talk to your local locksmith and hopefully they can guide to a good lock.

I will have more reviews coming soon and the one lock electronic lock I may install on my house! (with modifications).

Terry Whin-Yates highly recommends a fire-rated burglary-proof safe approved by Underwriter Laboratories (UL). This is a unique product which has been extensively trialled and is not only certified as break-in proof but also fire resistant.

Ford Mustang Keys locked in trunk | Mr. Locksmith Video

Ford Mustang Keys locked in trunk | Mr. Locksmith Video. Go to http://mrlocksmith.com/ for further information.

Newer Ford Mustangs that the owner has locked the keys in the truck do not have a truck lock and no passenger door lock. If the ignition key is locked in the truck the only way to open the trunk is either by picking the drivers door lock, using try out keys or making a mechanical or transponder key and turning the door lock to the unlocked position. When the car is unlocked via the drivers door lock, you then depress the trunk release button on the console and unlock the trunk. One of my favourite picks to use in the Lishi 8 cut ford pick. Note: opening the locked car with a car opening kit or long reach tool will not allow you to activate the trunk lock release switch. In conclusion, you have to turn the drivers door lock to the unlocked position and then activate the truck release switch. Removing the rear seat to open the locked truck will not work on convertibles and is difficult on hardtops.

Side note: Ford no longer supplies or has access to key codes for any Ford vehicle 10 years or older. Call your local locksmith for help.

The two Sentry Safes demonstrated on the training video is model SFW123FTC and DSW3607 / DS3607. These two model types are the most common safes I open weekly.

Sentry Safe “S” Series methods of entry can also be used on similar Sentry Safes as follows:

SF123ES, SFW123ES, SFW123EU, SFW123FSC, SFW123FUL, SFW123GDC, SFW123GDF, SFW123GSC, SFW123GTC, SFW123GTF, STW123GDC, STW123GTC and SFW123FTC.

Also, included in this training video at no extra charge is the Sentry Safe Model DSW3607 / DS3607 two (2) Bolt Fire Resistant Safe because the safe is similar the the Sentry Safe “S” 123 Series. However, the DSW3607 / DS3607 requires different methods to open. Beginners and professional locksmiths sometimes confuse these two different models of Sentry Safes, the “S” 123 Series 4 bolt and the DSW 2 bolt electronic safes.
