Can't see what your explaining
Comment from : Kurt Easton

Hi Brent The outside knob has a pin I lost it! What can I use for a substitute?
Comment from : Matt Coats

Thanks for the video! I have a front doorknob just like this but too bad the one you showed was meant for interior door

Hands down mortise locks are way more handsome than your modern door knob
Comment from : Artemio Quintero

I can only get one door knob to work (meaning I can only open the door from one side) What am I doing wrong
Comment from : Espeon

I have a suddenly stuck deadbolt in my mortise lock and now I can't open the door, even after removing the hinges A long closeup might have helped Ideas?!

I used this video to fix a mortise lock in my 1900 built home today Someone had painted over the deadbolt portion and the paint has gotten inside the lock and stopped it up A good cleaning and lubricant fixed it up brbrThe house has a lot more locks that will need the same treatment brbrThanks for the informative and helpful content!

Great video no complaints, actually learned a few new things I just wanted to put out there maybe use something better than Regular WD-40 as it evaporates entirely in a relatively short time, as it's true use is mainly to be a penetrating solvent They offer a silicone version that will last much longer and also provide oxidation protection due to the added silicone residue left when the solvent evaps Optimally some grease or oil though as they will last much longer

If I hadn't came across your video I certainly would have replaced but now I'm going to take my problem hardware and save it Thanks so much I live in a house with original wood floors, unpainted woodwork, doors and hardware and trying keep it that way
Comment from : Sunny Star

This was very helpful, although I suggest closeups of the mechanisms Either way, thank you!
Comment from : Marvin Martelly

Super helpful!!! I have mortise locks in my home and need to replace a few damaged knobs, and I’m wondering if I can use a placement spindle that does not have the extra adjustment holes? Perhaps just a universal style in the appropriate length?
Comment from : Erika Glauber

This video was very helpful, thank you!

I've hated my door knobs since I moved in my house 5 years ago but this video made me appreciate them I will look for a way to upgrade them without completely replacing them Thank you

Where can you buy return springs for the latch?
Comment from : zimitas23

This video is of little use due to poor camera angles Bummer
Comment from : Bullfrog Pond Shop

Thank you!!! I needed to know how to switch from right to left hand swing You just saved me alot of time and work ❤
Comment from : Laney Parker

Why don't you at least show a close-up of the internal parts, placement etc Not much help for me
Comment from : George Weir

WD-40 is designed for water displacement, hence the "WD" and the "40" is the 40th formula they tried,and it worked; it is not an actual grease or long-term lubricant, and for better long term results a lock grease should be used on the moving parts, so you don't have to remove the lock every year and spray it with WD-40 or a similar temporary solution to your problem

3:25 This is where I’ve been hiding my hard-drivesbrbrbrOn a real note, very helpful video Thanks!
Comment from : Nathan Hanna

Just got my first old home about 1900’s was always a parsonage I am the first one other than the church to own it Everything is original, and I want to keep it that way Thanks for the inspiration and instructions
Comment from : tom mellinger

Mine is wonky and won't open, how do you fix that?
Comment from : Bryan Gardner

My 1884 house has rim and mortise locks What grease would be the better lubricant since they need repair anyway?
Comment from : Mike xq28guy

great video I use to play with those locks as a kid tearing them apart, because of curiosity always love to see them today still in their original doors
Comment from : Paul Thompson

Wtf dude I tried your way and now I have to get a new door, maybe stop making YouTube videos
Comment from : jpc08109

Hi Brent, a big thank you from Bath in England Your video gave me the confidence to fix a long term sticking internal mortice lock in my 1880s townhouse All sorted now 🙌
Comment from : WWWUNIONMAGCOUK

Every door in the 1939 house I'm in has these (with integral deadbolt-ish locks, like in your example here) including the closets and the original external doors They tell a story, because the ones that are dirty/corroded/worn are the doors used every day for many decades So it's awesome to be able to reference the seldom-used doors to learn what to expectbrbrI've also noticed that for the ones with slipping knobs, where the knob's set screw just won't stay tight, those are also the ones where the mortise assembly needs a clean-and-lube What happens is as the mortise assembly becomes harder to work, that places a far greater strain on the knob and its set screw
Comment from : The Next Hobby

Word of caution, old lock, old paintlead based paint? You may want to be careful and use a chemical paint stipper if the lock was painted over Lead test kits are available and are fairly inexpensive

I was a locksmith for 11 years I have fixed hundreds of mortise locks Most are very simple and easy to work on You can use a soft brass brush or a buffing pad to restore the finish Broken springs are a common problem You can easily get an assortment of spring steel and make your own replacement springs Taking a picture of what it looks like can save you when you are putting the lock back together Most old mortise locks are warded locks and take a bit key The term skeleton key refers to a key that was cut to bypass different ward configurations Other problems you can run in to are: debris in the lock, the strike plate misaligned, stripped set screws on the knob, stripped holes on the door that lock body screws go in tobrThese locks will last another 100 years if you take care of them brGreat video Brent!
Comment from : gjacobson76

Your camera needs to get directly over the lock It’s difficult to see when the camera is so far away

Hey Brent - just bought a house in Park Hill (a few doors down from Bruce) Thanks for this video! I was ready to scrap my front door mortise hardware but I'm reconsidering My problem, though is the interior knob is held in place by a set screw and the threads are stripped so it can't make contact to turn the latch and open the door Any ideas?
Comment from : Russ W

I have one that the handle will turn but doesn't work the latch just lube or is something broken?
Comment from : Aint it

omfg i almost ruined all these doors hahahah thanks

Great video
Comment from : HHerrera

Brent didnt show me anything, great job showing a close up on how the parts work and how to get it working in detail
Comment from : P C

Always excellent content Would not use WD-40 , sir, if I may say For cleaning yes Not long term It evaporates Grease must be added Maybe you did Just don’t see
Comment from : ikust007

4:32 because of humidity ?
Comment from : ikust007

2:50 while restoring old locks, I found out old thin washers being used in order to adjust snugly the system
Comment from : ikust007

Brent, thank you SO much for this video After hours of googling and tinkering, your video provided so much clarity Not only do I now understand the components; I appreciate the beauty of the device and am no longer just frustrated at it
Comment from : Zachary Brooks

Comment from : Nicholas Manovich

Fantastic video 😃
Comment from : Lizza Paolia

What can be done if the key is missing for the lock?
Comment from : Favian Garza

In Sweden, northern Europe, the recommendation 100 years ago was to paint all your hardware It was mainly to make them less visible and also for rust protection
Comment from : a97chrjo

Hello Brent Thank you for the helpful video I have a lot of these locks in a house I am restoring Do you have any idea where I can purchase the little screws for the spindle, and replacement keys for the lock like you have in this video?
Comment from : KYCat Rescue

Great videos They make me appreciate some of the historical details in our 1880 house more including a massive 5x7' pocket door Not sure whether it is original but the hardware seems ancient What I struggle with is that everything (doors, moldings) is covered in multiple layers of paint (including lead) and with many imperfections When do you replace and when do you strip in these situations?

awesome

Ok starting at about 3:12 to the next 10 seconds or so I'm not saying anything, I'm gonna behave on social media😶😶😶😜😂😂😂

Opportunity to potentially replace the escutcheon plate or rosette, since those usually take some battle damage over the decadesbrbrOriginal mortise + replacement plates makes a great assembly
