I have repinned every Euro cylinder using a paperclip and can vouch for it being a good idea. :)

The mounting clamp is nothing more than the paperclip in terms of function.

I will add that if you have a vice it'll make it soooo much easier to repin the lock - then you can use 1 hand to insert the pins, and 1 hand to push the paperclip into the lock.

These won't show you anything you didn't already know, but here are photos of mine:

Enjoy. :)

No flipping edit button.. so another double post :( :roll:.

Mine works, but when you make yours, make the arms at the side the same length as the central part.... if you don't you'll figure out why it's useful, quickly anyway.

Good luck. :)

I've been searching for pin kit sets and what do you recomend for euro cilinders? Are this any good? Are they worth it?
