[theveed]

[shadow]

may nakita na ako ganyan sa home depot nga. kaso naisip ko, daldalera yung maid namin. di naman pwede hindi sabihin sa kanya ang combination at minsan umaalis kami lahat at nauuna siya umuuwi. e di dinaldal na ng tsismosang maid namin sa buong quezon city ang combination ng lock ehehehe! bad idea imho.

[theveed]

I think I saw some of those, sa L.O.M. Key store. Eto yung store na nasa Greenhills, when you cross the street from the Theater Mall. They specialize in keys and locks.

YES, sa LOM hehe how can i forget

I'm curious about how these mechanical combination door knob locks work. Are these a variation of Simplex locks? Do they have a full 10-digit keypad or do they use only 5 digits like the Simplex locks? How many numbers can be used to make a combination, and how many possible combinations can be made (thousands, tens of thousands)? Can the combination be changed by the end-user (like in some electronic safes) in case your househelper is not as serious about security as you are? Any pictures of the lock in question?

Does it look something like this:

alam niyo ba contack number ng LOM?
mikey, I don't think yun nasa cousin ko look like that, basta simple lang siya with 4 or 5 numbers lang....

I see. I got intrigued by the idea of a mechanical combination lock on a door so I did a Google search. If what you had in mind is a 5-key combination lock, then it may be a Simplex lock, in which case, it might be relatively easy to defeat the lock by entering all the possible combinations. This web site I found give tips on how to do this --> http://www.tech-faq.com/simplex-lock.shtml

Hope this helps.

BTW, does the lock look something like this?

mikey more or less ganyan!!!

what I'm looking for is with integrated key bypass sana...

[mikey177]

You mean something like this?


Sorry, I haven't seen one locally. I just found that on this site: http://www.locksmithtoolandsupply.com --look under the subheading "Simplex Pushbutton Locks." Nakakapaglaway nga yung site e, ang daming security goodies na pwedeng pagpilian, kung nasa States ka

[theveed]

yan gamit sa stockroom namin dati sa US...

true value shang has it finger print activated and could be bypassed by punching codes

but the price if i remember correctly when i inquired last sunday was 15-16 k

[boybi]

sa ACE Hardware meron din fingerprint activated and with combination codes and key. around 14K. uses 2 or 3 AAA batt.

[Sheep]

baka nga 14 k lang di ko maalala e

but id rather buy ordinary door knobs dami ko na mabibili with that amount heheh

Yup, P14,000 would already get me a quality door knob, a deadbolt lock, and about 8 boxes of FMJ ammo
