What is the diameter?

Postby Exodus5000 » 12 Jun 2007 16:23

Can someone who owns a calipers or has a chart tell me the diameter in inches of a standard schlage bottom pin? Furthermore, what is the diameter of the holes drilled into the plug to house the pin stacks?

I measure .116 in for the bottom pins and the pin chamber hole from the plug is about .121 in. But this came out of a lock that has been through a lot of picking and bumping so it's probably not completely accurate. None of my locks are in mint condition so this is the best I can do. Hope it helps.
