Question Best SFIC

Postby sentientsentinel » 17 Feb 2015 8:47

Senario: You pick a Best SFIC to control with a pick. Can you get the plug back into cylinder without a key if so how? Ive seen Bosnian Bill pick it to control but never seen him put the plug back in.Thanks

If the core is still picked to control, you can slide it back into the lock housing and turn the keyway back to the locked position with your tension wrench. Very easy!

If the core is no longer picked to control and you have no control key, use the shim you find in security tags and shim the control shear line from the back of the core so you can turn the control lug back to the locked position. Once the control lug is retracted, remove the shim and reinstall the core.
