Segal locks

Postby wolff » 8 Jun 2023 12:49

I posted back in 2015, must have lost my login and forgot about the forum, changing my sofware I found my login again.

Anyway, I did buy a repinning kit as I needed to finally do something about having 5 locks on my doors and 5 different keys! I replaced all the locks with Segal double cylinder deadbolt locks. I bought Segal as they are very high quality solid cast bronze not that aluminum or zinc garbage I've seen by other brands.
I wanted to re-pin to fit the door key I had when I was a kid in the 70s, we had a Segal lock on our NYC apartment door, the key went everywhere with me for a decade, I kept it all these years, the Segal name long worn down from use way back in the 70s, but the familiar shape is what I wanted.
So I bought some Segal blanks, and had copies made of the old key, and re-pinned all 10 locks to fit the one key, it all went very smooth!
I really like the Segal locks and found they are still made from the heavy solid castings I remember, the cylinders are apparently machined from solid rod! I did do a "review" video on them but lunch time is almost over and I'll have to get the url later.

Thanks! glad you can see the quality is still present in these Segal locks.
Repinning them was pretty easy, the hardest part was getting the clip off the tail= wanted to rotate around but i used two tools and got it off easily enough
