Any Ideas? (For Mounting Practice Cylinders)

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

sidpick: what has helped me when i have had to do alot of frequent repinning is to use snap ring fasteners (the type with the two holes around the rims) instead of the traditional u-shaped retaining rings. The only setback is that you need to have snap ring pliers to be able to use them. They are nice though because they are alot faster and easier to use.

hope this might be helpful.

I have got a few of these, as you say they are quicker but the cheap skates over here don't fit them as standard to the locks!!!
(I do also loose alot when they ping across the workshop!)

I don't think they fit them as standard in America either, but I think Mr. Glass is suggesting you can replace the standard issue C clips with your own circlips when you are repinning and fitting the locks.
