Reason: changed [IMG] tags to [URL] tags, please limit inline images to 800x600 max. 2,937px × 2,203px is too big. You can also go to imgur.com and click Edit image and resize it and Save it to smaller size, without needing Photoshop or other graphics program.

I think it was a good lock, and if you manage to put it back together, it could be good again...
You can probably use a aaa battery as a follower to help you reload the top pins & springs, that
should be the hardest part of re-assembly

It could be rust, or just dirt mixed with whatever lubricant was used. Clean it off, and it won't affect the lock operation.

Does the plug turn freely and smoothly now? If so, you should be fine.

Do you have pictures of the pins?

if there is any burs on on the cylinder some 600 or 800 grit sand paper will knock them down and make the cylinder usable again. :wink:

I doubt if steel top pins would be used, but there is nothing like a magnet for finding out
