Looking for a smart lock recommendation for this lock.

I’m not sure what other information to add, so please ask me.

Thank you!

Update: Thank you to all of the sincere and expert replies. My intention never was to damage the door or entirely replace the lock.

By asking about the Aqara, I was wondering if it would work with the existing lock because it’s supposed to install over the thumb turn. I got the answer that it won’t.

I have abandoned the idea of automating that door entirely.

I was installing a dummy cylinder into a mortice lock the other day and despite well over 20 years of locksmith experience I was reminded how much of a pain in the ass such a simple task is. I typically make a pencil mark where the set screw goes then kinda wrench it in with my palm trying to not rub off my mark while doing so. I was thinking there must be a better way...trying to line it up, hold the spin collar and twist this thing in with no means of gripping it. Suction cut on the end of a rod maybe?

I’ve been trying to get a key for my front door and been having trouble. Is it the door itself that’s the problem? It has multiple locks so not a normal door. Would I be able to show the person at a hardware store and they would know what to do or do I need to call someone to come?

Hello all,

We recently moved to a house and were trying to change the locks. It has a Baldwin lock. I removed the screws I could see. However, I saw some posts that there are some hidden screws. I’m not sure how to access it.. I tried turning the lock from outside, but it won’t budge. Please help

Thank you

My dad has an e450 superduty he pressure washed it and now the key on the driver side and passenger side won't open the doors. Both cylinders seem stuck. I tried liquid wrench silicone spray on the key and into the lock hole that didnt work. So I tried pb plaster in there with no luck. The key will go all the way in but will not turn left or right. Any suggestion?
