Akron Lock

05/14/2026

Some fun vintage projects recently. 1970s era Weiser handleset, old Yale pop-out locks on a file cabinet at a customer’s home (successfully picked 2 of them), and an antique oversized front door handleset that needed a custom spring fabricated for the thumb press.

Love it when folks have lived somewhere for years and never had a key for their front door. Gotta get those old locks turnin again!

It isn’t a regular thing for Akron Lock but this safe hadn’t been opened in a decade; no key. Just happened to have the tubular pick in the car and was able to clean off the battery terminals to get the keypad functioning again, then we were able to locate the factory code. Fun little Saturday project!

Custom Baldwin handleset installed on an antique solid wood door. Came out pretty 🤩

This 1929 Yale Mortise Lock hadn’t had a functioning thumb turn for many years. The door is original and was stripped out to the point where it could not hold the mechanism in place so a hardwood slat was stained to match and added to the door, and the tailpiece was elongated to allow things to start turning again. Attached is the original catalog entry for the lock.
