Episode 4: How To Rekey Your Lock & Add Security Pins

In episode 4 I'll show how to rekey a lock and add some spool security pins to make your practice lock even more challenging. ** NOTE: The material in this video is also covered in a STEP by STEP handout since it was covered in an Oak City Locksport meeting. See the link below! **

Nice video instruction. My wall safe 'spat the dummy', and springs and things went everywhere. Found all the bits from the cylinder etc but was a bit baffled. It had a cam fitting with screws which had come loose. It is now all back together and working just fine. Magic. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers from New Zealand.

Thanks! A lot of effort went into the handout to make it easy to follow.

Where do you get the security pins?

[@scouncil2028]

Check out eBay, search for 'spool serrated security pins.' I got a nice collection of 30 that work with both common Schlage and Kwikset locks.

Help the cylinder will not turn after I rekeyed with new one

Sounds like maybe one of those key pins wasn't totally correct. If you can't pick the lock, you can always shim it from the rear. I'm not totally familiar with this TH-camr, but I found the video with a quick search and it seemed pretty comprehensive. Note that you can buy these shims from sites such as clksupplies.com or go through any old DVD / Bluerays you bought at a store. The security stickers they put inside, when cut open, have a couple thin metal shims in them! I also use a rake or hook pick to lift the pins when shimming from the rear whereas this person uses a key blank. th-cam.com/video/i8KKQLLPR14/w-d-xo.html
