Homemade Euro Cutaway Lock

[zikmik]

Hi,
I present my first try of making cutaway lock.




Firs I remove c-clip with Southord broken key extractor, then pull off the core, remove springs, bottom pins and top pins.
I put body in table vice and cut with Bi-Metal hacksaw blade. For that job it took me 20min (I try to make it staight lines as much as posible).
After that I bleed body from metal grain and assemble it. Cutaways help me to positions pins and spring easily.



It works very smoothly. Maybe I will cut core for beter view of top pins but since I didn`t saw that some one try to do that on euro profile cylinder
I was wondering if it is a good idea?

Not terrible, but not brilliant either. But hey, it works!

You might want to get a narrow flat file and tidy up the slots a bit. For your next one, you could perhaps try using two blades side by side for a wider cut, too.

It looks like it isn't a re-pinnable lock design. I'd suggest that you find one that will let you easily swap the pins in and out next time, as being able to easily swap things about will give it a more lasting value to you. Otherwise, once you know the lock, it is far less useful for learning further.

Nice work. What type of lock is that? Is the key OEM or aftermarket blank and if so what brand and blank#?

[mkultra23]

by "type" I mean manufacturer of course.

Not bad.

My first try at a cutaway was a horrible failure, mainly because my dremel was messing up, but recently I've wanted to give it another try.

Nice work, by the way!

What type of lock is that?

Eastern Europe, Romania or Hungary manufacturer I thnik, with funy name if you read in English, called BANE

I used these lock for cutaway because of key.
Always have a problem when first cut is deep and second shallow.

i believe its a LOB lock, checked in my collection and found it
tho i do not have any info on pins tho as for some weird reason this cylinder has had the c-clip braced so there is no possibility of removing the plug and checking.

Make's sense. I couldn't find a similar key in ILCO's international key blank directory. But I'm sure there's a substitute in there. Every now and then we have to service/rekey a profile lock, usually an atrium door lock, that has been brought from the owners home country, not many suppliers stock blanks for these however.

a tip for sanding the cuts.

get some medium to fine sandpaper and fold the sandpaper around a tension wrench and just keeping sanding until the cuts are smooth and de-burred

The C clips are unusual because of the "Bulgarian method" for getting into these types of locks. They make them stronger against plug pulling.

[qrplocking]

Yes it does come out hard on puling,great mod by the way

[mkultra23]

"bulgarian method"? Is that snapping the cylinder or using a dent puller?

[MacGnG1]
