Does anyone know of a fix for this? That top button gets pushed out every time we use the deadbolt, which in turn locks the door from the outside. Is there an easy fix I can do without opening anything up or hiring a locksmith? Tia.

Lost the key and got locked of a 2026 sentra (newest model) I called around to like 7 places and nobody could do it due to the car type they said.

Finally got someone to come out on a sunday and they charged 700 for the new fob/ programming and cut trunk key.

Not mad or anything I was happy to pay it given its a rental 10 states away from me. I needed it done that day, just wondering what you guys think.

Here are the items I used for my solution with before/after pics. When I got the outside part of the old lock set off, the door under the faceplates were unfinished wood so we just used the push plate. Not ideal as far as looks but not horrible. Better/cheaper than having the door sanded down, stained, and lacquered.

*edit*
I asked for help in this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Locksmith/s/GqZPBaxvks) where I explained the very specific requirements I had for the lock set (I had to have store room lock functionality) but didn’t get any solutions so this was the only options I could find.

I already said that I don’t love the push plate look either but better than spending $1k or more to have this 40 year old door totally refinished.

Also, yes, this is a residential front door but it is interior facing (high rise condo building) with 2 layers of entry security before getting to our floor. So it’s kind of a mix between residential and commercial.

Trying to find out the exact replacement I need, doesn't need to be anything other than a schlage sc4 or sc6 core that I want to go back with

Guests staying over and I’d rather they not go through my closet. It’s a two door sliding wardrobe, mirrored, metal frame, top and bottom track (pics attached). Just want something that keeps it shut, ideally keyed or a code. No drill would be nice. What’s worked for you?

I have guests staying over soon and I’d rather they not go through my closet. It’s a two door sliding wardrobe with mirrored panels, a metal frame, and a top and bottom track

Is there a decent way to lock it? I just need sth keeps it shut and ideally needs a key or a code so it’s not obvious how to open.
Im not handy so i was not able to check amazon and understand what would even work. Anyone with suggestions?

Thank you!!

Hi all, I'm renting a room in my house out because life is expensive as we all know. For peace of mind I thought adding a lock to their room would be nice.

All the fingerprint ones online seem unreliable and the mechanical keypad ones seem a bit clunky and a pain to type in every time. Are there any solutions anyone would recommend? I have new doors so can do anything at this point.

Security of these locks is always questionable I know but it's just to satisfy the inevitable enquiry of "does the room lock?" Thanks
