Disk Lock Plugs

Seems like those locks aren't designed to well. It seems like the excess of force required to turn the key is breaking the cam.

They are very thin in that area. I have an idea about how to redo one that I'm going to try.Ever one I've pull out are bent in this area. The pin turns in a "L" pattern. except "L" is sideways.This pulls catch back. It is under alot of tennsion.

They look like a basic 5 wafer lock but all wafer locks are not interchangeable. Without holding the lock it's hard to tell you what will fit. Your best bet is to go see a local locksmith and show im what you need. He should be able to order you the cylinders from a supplier alot cheaper than you can buy the new locks.

Hello DCSBASS.

I don't exactly live anywhere near the coast so I haven't seen any of these locks. However, I have repaired similar lock plugs by cutting off cleanly the broken pin, drilling a new hole and putting a small steel or brass pin in place. This can work if the back of the plug is long enough for the pin to seat before hitting a wafer. Lube the back of those plugs with heavy, water proof, marine grease. Good luck.

You suggested excatly what I was going to try today. I found some dowel rods the same size. I think I'll have enough room. I'll let you know though. I'm going to try it on a old one first.
Thanks

You probably shouldn't you dowel rods to replace metal parts (I'm assuming you're going to use wooden dowels). Use some steel or brass.

Sorry, I meant that you probably shouldn't use dowel rods to replace metal parts.

What I'm trying is a metal dowel rod on it. Same size as the little pin that stuck up. It will go on opposite side . Whole lot more metal to work with.Still going to try and find this waffer locks.
