Plug shorter on one side...

Postby nightlybuild » Tue Apr 03, 2012 5:45 am

Hey, I'm having some trouble putting a lock back together. I got all the driver pins and springs in, but when I try to push plug follower out the actual plug is shorter on one end...so it messes up everything.

Here is a picture of the plug: https://castle.so/3ekqq

I found out from someone that I need a hollow plug follower. It did the trick. You can delete this thread if you want. :)

You can use a solid follower with a shim too.
