Adding a User Code
Adding a user code is a straightforward process. Previously, you were able to add up to 15 codes, but now, you can program up to 19 codes for enhanced flexibility.

Step-by-Step Process
Enter Programming ModeTo begin, you need to enter the programming mode by punching in your programming code. This is a critical step, as it sets the system into a state where you can input new information. Use the code: 9 8 4 1 4 2.

Confirm Programming ModeAfter entering your programming code, wait for three blinks from the keypad. This blinking indicates that the lock is in programming mode. Once the blinking stops, hit the lock button again to proceed.

Add a User CodePress number one on the keypad to indicate that you want to add a new user code. Enter your desired code twice; for this example, we'll use 9 8 7 6. Enter: 9 8 7 6, and then repeat: 9 8 7 6. If everything is correctly entered, you should see a green light, confirming that the new code has been successfully added.

Test the New CodeIt's always good practice to test the code before concluding. Enter your new user code 9 8 7 6 to ensure it works.

Mickey Mouse Ears Up | Mr. Locksmith™

https://t.co/3PLYJF68nF

When installing a deadbolt, the correct orientation for the deadbolt's bolt is with the "Mickey Mouse ears up." This refers to the shape of the screw holes on the bolt. This simple phrase is a helpful way for both beginners and professionals to remember the proper way to orient the bolt during installation, ensuring the mechanism functions correctly. It helps to prevent common errors that can lead to the bolt binding or not extending properly.

Where Did Al Capone Stay in Alcatraz? A Look at Cell 181: Al Capone’s infamous stay at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary began in 1934, when he was transferred to the island prison in an effort to sever his influence over organized crime while behind bars. Initially housed in B-Block, Cell 181. Cell 181 in B-Block remains historically tied to Capone’s time at Alcatraz, drawing countless visitors who imagine the once-powerful mob boss confined to a narrow 9x5-foot space, stripped of his empire and reduced to routine prison labor.

Mr. Locksmith's Favorite for Durability & Simplicity

Hi everyone, Terry from Mr. Locksmith here! When it comes to reliable keyless entry, especially electronic deadbolts, the **Schlage BE365** series consistently ranks among my top favorites. These aren't just fancy gadgets; they're heavy-duty workhorses built to last and perform. Today, we're going to unbox one, explore its features, discuss setup and reprogramming, and show you how the key functionality works. Unboxing & First Impressions Fresh from the factory, the BE365 comes with the essential components: the exterior keypad, the interior thumbturn, the deadbolt mechanism itself, and a physical key. Its robust construction is evident right out of the box.

Key Functionality: Your Reliable Override While it's an electronic deadbolt, the BE365 features a crucial 5-pin tumbler Schlage C keyway override. This means you can always open the lock with a physical key, even if the battery is completely dead or you don't know the access code. This mechanical backup is a non-negotiable feature for true home security.

Battery Life & Best Practices: Alkaline vs. Lithium The BE365 operates on a single 9V battery. One of its great advantages is the low-battery warning system, similar to a smoke detector. When the battery starts to drain, the lock will give off an annoying beep, warning you for up to a week before it completely dies. This gives you plenty of time to replace it.

While the manufacturer doesn't recommend rechargeable batteries (and I haven't personally tested them extensively), we highly recommend **alkaline batteries**. Lithium batteries, while lasting a long time, tend to maintain peak power and then die very suddenly, giving you only a brief "half a beep" warning before going completely dead. Alkaline batteries, on the other hand, provide a more gradual power decline, giving you ample warning time.

Are Lock Picks Illegal? Mr. Locksmith Explains

Ever wondered about the legality of owning or selling lock picking tools?

Terry from Ask Mr. Locksmith breaks down the truth behind this common question!

Learn about the difference between Actus Reus (the guilty act) and Mens Rea (the guilty mind), and how intent plays a crucial role in the law.

Whether you're a locksport hobbyist or just curious, this video clarifies why selling lock picks is generally not illegal, but how their use can lead to legal issues. Know your local laws!

Ask Mr. Locksmith: Is It Illegal To Sell Lock Picking Tools?

Mr. Locksmith  604-330-9915

Mr. Locksmith Automotive [phone]

Hey, I'm Terry from Ask Mr. Locksmith! One of the questions I frequently receive is whether selling lock picks is illegal. While the legality of selling lock picks can vary depending on the country and state, in this blog post, I'll provide you with some basic information on the topic.

**Please note that I am not a lawyer, and it is crucial to consider the laws and regulations in your specific location.** Let's dive in! Selling Lock Picks: Generally Not Illegal In many places, it is **not illegal to sell lock picks**.

Lock picking can be considered a fascinating hobby or a part of "lock sport." Lock sport involves the skillful manipulation of locks using various tools, including lock picks. It offers a fun and engaging way for enthusiasts to test their abilities.

Lock picking clubs and communities exist worldwide, providing a platform for individuals to connect and share their passion for locks and security.

Understanding Legality: Actus Reus and Mens Rea However, when dealing with lock picks, it is crucial to consider the **intended usage**. Engaging in certain activities with lock picks can lead to legal consequences. Two key legal tenets often considered in such cases are **Actus Reus (the guilty act)** and **Mens Rea (the guilty mind)**. Both of these are necessary for most criminal charges.

Actus Reus: Performing the Act. This pertains to the action itself. If you possess lock picks and use them to pick a lock unlawfully (e.g., a lock you don't own or have permission to open), you may face charges related to possession of break and enter tools, among other offenses.

Mens Rea: The Guilty Mind. This refers to your intent. If you are merely using lock picks on your own property, such as picking the lock on your own house or car (because you lost your keys, for example), the Actus Reus element may be present (you performed the act of picking), but the absence of Mens Rea (you do not have criminal intent) suggests that you do not have a guilty mind.

A lockpicking hobbyist or a member of a locksport club can safely use picks in most circumstances, provided they are practicing on locks they own or have explicit permission to manipulate. However, carrying them with an illegal intent, such as planning a breaking and entering, can definitely result in legal consequences, even if you haven't yet committed the act.

Stay Informed: Know Your Local Laws! Having a clear understanding of these legal distinctions is important. To stay on the right side of the law, exercise caution and responsibility when handling lock picks.

Avoid carrying them in suspicious circumstances or behaving in a manner that could raise suspicion.

How to Change the Key Fob Battery 2025 Lexus UX 300h | Mr. Locksmith™

https://t.co/3PLYJF6Gdd How to Replace the Key Fob Battery 2025 Lexus UX 300h

Mr. Locksmith 604-330-9915
Mr. Locksmith Automotive [phone]

Mr. Locksmith Automotive | Luxury Hybrid Key Fob Repair Tips If the key fob for your 2025 Lexus UX 300h has stopped working or the range has significantly decreased, chances are the battery is running low. Don’t worry—replacing the battery is a simple DIY job that takes just a few minutes.

At Mr. Locksmith Automotive, we specialize in servicing luxury vehicles like Lexus, and we’re here to walk you through the key fob battery replacement process. Replacing your 2025 Lexus UX 300h key fob battery? What You’ll Need: 1x CR2032 lithium coin battery (quality brand recommended) Flathead screwdriver or a small coin

Step-by-Step: Replacing the Battery in Your Lexus UX 300h Key Fob

Step 1: Release the Mechanical Key Flip the key fob over. Press the small release button on the back to eject the emergency key blade. Pull the key out and set it aside.

Step 2: Open the Key Fob Case Look near the slot where the key blade was stored. You’ll see a small seam or groove. Insert a flathead screwdriver or coin into the groove. Gently twist to pry open the fob—you’ll hear a soft click as the case separates.

Step 3: Remove the Old Battery Inside, you’ll find a CR2032 coin battery. Use the screwdriver or your fingernail to carefully pop out the old battery. Pay attention to how the battery is positioned—positive (+) side usually faces up.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery Place the new CR2032 battery into the slot, positive side up. Press it down gently until it’s fully seated.

Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob Align the two halves of the fob and press them together until they snap securely. Reinsert the metal emergency key blade. Test Your Key Fob Stand near your Lexus UX 300h and test all buttons—lock, unlock, and push-to-start functions should all work as expected.

Mr. Locksmith Tip:

Always use high-quality coin batteries (Duracell, Energizer, Panasonic) to ensure long life and consistent signal strength.

Store a spare CR2032 battery in your glove box—just in case!

2025 Lexus UX 300h: Remove Hidden Key from Smart Fob | Mr. Locksmith™
Learn how to remove the emergency key from your 2025 Lexus UX 300h smart key fob in seconds. This quick guide from Mr. Locksmith shows you how to access the hidden mechanical key in case of a dead battery or lockout.

Mr. Locksmith 604-330-9915

Mr. Locksmith Automotive [phone]
Modern Lexus vehicles, like the 2025 Lexus UX 300h, come equipped with a smart key fob for keyless entry and push-button start. But what if your fob battery dies or the smart system malfunctions? That’s where the emergency key comes in.

In this quick Mr. Locksmith guide, we’ll show you how to safely remove the mechanical key from your Lexus UX 300h key fob — a must-know step in case of a lockout or battery failure.

Why You Might Need the Emergency Key:

Your key fob battery is dead
The smart entry system fails
You need to manually unlock the driver’s door
You’re replacing the key fob battery
Step-by-Step: How to Remove the Emergency Key

Step 1: Locate the Release Button Flip the Lexus key fob over to the back side. Near the base of the fob, you'll see a small release button or latch.

Step 2: Press the Release Button Use your thumb or fingernail to firmly press the button. This unlocks the hidden mechanical key from the fob.

Step 3: Slide the Emergency Key Out While holding the button down, pull the silver emergency key blade straight out of the key fob. It should slide out smoothly.

Step 4: Use the Key (If Needed) You can now insert the key into the driver’s side door lock to manually unlock the vehicle. What Is the Emergency Key For? The emergency key is a physical backup to the electronic smart fob. If the battery dies or the electronics fail, the mechanical key ensures you can still access your vehicle. It’s a great feature — as long as you know how to use it!

Pro Tip from Mr. Locksmith:

Keep your key fob battery fresh and check it annually.
If you notice reduced range or unresponsiveness, it might be time to replace the CR2032 battery.

Mr. Locksmith Explores Ancient Security | Pompeii’s Dionysiac Strongbox

During a recent trip to Naples, Terry from Mr. Locksmith—spent a fascinating afternoon at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN), home to one of the world’s most remarkable collections of Roman artifacts from nearby Pompeii.

Pompeii’s sudden burial under 13–20 feet of volcanic ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD preserved an extraordinary snapshot of everyday Roman life.

Among the frescoes and mosaics, one object in particular captured my locksmith’s imagination: a 1st-century AD strongbox decorated with Cupids and Dionysiac figures, recovered from the House of Gaius Vibius Italus in Pompeii (VIIm 2, 18).
