if you're a small business owner and you
got a storefront like this one class and
lumina store front door there's one
thing you have to do to protect your
business today and it's right there I'm
Robert and you're watching locksmith
recommended it doesn't have any way to
protect this mortise lock so we're going
to go ahead and put these channel acts
right on this and we're just gonna give
it a nice nice tight grip in there we go
that's all there is to it just locks out
screwdriver unlocked doors open just
that quick how are we so easily able to
get into that door
well here's your mortise lock right here
and it's basically held in that door
with a little set pin somebody comes up
and puts torque on that they'll snap
that set pin right off how do you stop
it with this guy this is a cylinder
guard or we also call it a torque collar
and when you install the mortise lock
you slide the torque collar on it like
so before the installation and what this
does is it creates a little shield
that'll spin freely outside of that
mortise lock so you put a pair of vise
grips on that or you put a pair of
channellocks on that nobody's going to
be able to grip it it'll just slide
right off and that's how you protect a
glass aluminum storefront door from
being penetrated by basically a pair of
pliers now if you look inside right
there you can see the set screw that we
snapped off to get the lock out now you
can see we've got that cylinder guard or
the torque collar installed around the
mortise lock somebody comes down grabs a
pair of channel locks on that and tries
to twist that off
all it's going to do is spin and you've
protected your small business that is
the number one thing a small business
owner could do to protect a glass
Luminess door front door I hope you
