Mul-T-Lock Hercular MT5+ plus August Smart Lock Pro 3rd Gen

[patrickbk]

After taking the lock apart and examining the mechanism of the August, I was able to 3d print an adapter that makes it work perfectly. In addition, the hex screw head (#12 in OP's diagram) on my lock protrudes too far out for the August to sit flush so i went to a hardware store to get new screws. It was not difficult to integrate the August to a single Mul-T-Lock deadlock, but having access to a 3d printer would be ideal.

Please tell me that you saved the STL or OBJ file? Can you share it? I'm in the process of trying to design one myself, but if you've already done the work......

I ended up engineering my own design. Will post to thingiverse in a bit for anybody else who is interested.

Why spend $40 on a part when I can spend $1 on plastic for failed designs and 25¢ on the plastic for the actual part.

Yeah, but how much is your time worth? I doubt you banged that part out in 20 minutes.

Ahhh, but you assume that spending time engineering a solution doesn't give me pleasure in and of itself. Why learn to lockpick when you could just hire a locksmith? What is your time worth?

I quite enjoy taking things apart, figuring out how they work, and coming up with solutions. It brings me a ton of joy!
