Where can I buy some pins?

Postby euphoricism » 11 Jun 2009 17:59

I have a rekeyable lock, currently the pins in it are very boring. Mostly the same size, one spool pin.

Would like to have just a mishmash of random pins both security and non to play with. Can I order them somewhere?

Well, I guess I should clarify and say I need different size key pins and security pins. Normal boring driver pins are not needed :D

hit up home depot at the key copy machine and ask if they have a repining kit.

It's a cheapy defiant deadbolt from Home Depot. Package doesn't seem to give a model number.

It's a great lock to practice on because its so so easy to repin, but I need more pins!
