For our locksmiths who have been at it for a few decades, have a question for you.
Recently got an American T-900 tubular padlock. While doing other repairs, decided to rekey it. That is when I found something new to me. This tubular lock core does not use the modern day standard tubular lock pin diameters. They seem to use the same diameter pins as the current and old American normal pin tumbler lock diameters.
Are these even available anymore? If so, where?
If not, do any of you have an old pinning kit that you would be willing to part ways with? I'd like to be able to rekey these for people who like the old stuff, as well as for myself.
Also, are there any other ways you have come across that might work? Best pins are .108" diameter, so very close. But the lengths are too short, at least for A2 systems.
Thank You,
Gordon
Just when you finally think you have learned it all, that is when you learn that you don't know anything yet.
