Homemade Euro training cylinder

[zikmik]

Hi mates,
I am newbie here and I lockpicking only for two mounth and since practice is everithing I made a
Euro training cylinder.

I used standard Euro cylinder (ELZETT) and cut it on half, take of C clip and remove the core and
all pins and springs. After that I drill all five seals at botom and bring back core and C clip.
After puting all parts back in revers order I seal it with kraft paper tape.



Now on I have numerous pin combination to practice.

Good idea! When you get comfortable and used to picking one combination then swap pins/spools etc around to test yourself again.

yep it works great. get a second set of drivers and put them in over the springs to replace the caps so u get realistic spring resistance. i also used a flat piece of metal so spread the strain of the caps so it didnt push the tape up as much.

Or use some small screws.

yep, grub screws like on a medeco would be perfect.

here in nz you can get euro cylinders that come with grub screws for the pin chambers, makes them a hell of alot easier to rekey, ad you dont have to worry about droping the top pins.... now thats a pain in the bum to fix up when you have a customer waiting for it in the shop.....

Elzett is Hungary manufacturer.
On my picture is Elzett 751, but without grub screws.

I don`t share optinion that Elzett is very simple lock, as you can see on right bottom of picture
in that particular cilinder I find security pins...

I use Titan (very good manufacturer) for my homemade training locks. I have two of those in which I combine all types of mushroom and spool pins. They work perfectly.

I may consider doing this to my Euro Cylinder cutaway as an extra add on part, brilliant idea well done, any tips on how to accurately drill into the cylinders? What size drill bit did you use? cheers.

ELZETT is waste.
