Mortise Wrench (Part# MW053)

Mountain range near Colorado Springs back in 1989. A friend and I discovered a spectacular secluded spot down a winding mountain road where we watched a magnificent sunset. As the evening settled in and the temperature began to drop, we realized that the keys were accidentally locked inside the car. It was at about this point that I began to appreciate how little you can actually do in this business without tools!

Gator Locksmith Tools - Mortise Wrench

We all need tools. Some of us make do with as few tools as possible out of a sense of economy. Some of us buy every tool they see and then wonder why they can’t seem to make any money. I hope most of us have the wisdom to buy the tools that we really need and to take a pass on the ones we don’t need. Personally, I seem to err on the side of too many tools. How about you?

Sometimes you just have to get a grip! Sure, you can usually turn a mortise cylinder with a key blank, but what about a dummy cylinder, or those times when it’s been in there for 40 years? Or when you’re dealing with some oddball finish that you know you would have to special order if you scratched it? The Gator Mortise Wrench is made especially for those times when you just can’t use pliers on a mortise cylinder. The low profile construction will allow you to grip the smallest edge on a cylinder. As long as it’s not deeply recessed into the door, you should be able to use the Gator Locksmith Tools “Mortise Wrench” (Part# MW053) to quickly remove even the most stubborn mortise cylinder without damage.

The Gator Locksmith Tools “Mortise Wrench” is made out of space-age ABS plastic that should last a lifetime without scratching doors or cylinders. One side of the tool has a milled channel specifically made for gripping mortise cylinders that are protected by a tamper-resistant collar. The tool fits between the cylinder and the collar to give you a good grip on the cylinder to loosen or tighten it. The other side of the tool is designed to grip cylinders where the face of the cylinder protrudes from the door. Regardless of which side you use, the grip is controlled by how tightly you squeeze the tool. Using the tool is a process of squeezing, turning and then releasing, so it’s very easy to use.
