Folger Adam 110 Mogul Cylinder - Detention Pin Tumbler Lock

Folger Adam pin tumbler detention locks are very good locks and commonly found in prisons, jails and detention facilities. This video will show you how to open it, pull it apart and reassemble the lock. The best way to prevent lock failure is to service the lock. Adtec, Southern Steel and Brinks have similar models and the operation is for the most part the same with some exceptions.

2:58 I started working as a prison locksmith and the guys before me, who trained me, didn't show me the right way to master pin these. They didn't know. They told me just to use traditional master pinning in order to make it turn. When I encountered one that was meant to be mastered, and had the time to mess with it, I figured it out. Built the change pins according to the original change key, then stacked the master ring on and built the master pins using the master original key. Tolerances are a little fidgety working with old locks, but the end result is worth it for the extra security.

I am going to an interview next week for a state prison locksmith job. Would you mind telling me how does a day look like to you ? Is it dangerous ? Do you communicate with inmates ?

@@jaybig360 Every day, yes. Risk is inherent. Don't be a dick to anyone unnecessarily and don't smuggle anything in for anyone and you should be fine.

Is it just me or does his voice remind you of the Lockpicking lawyer?
