thank you for all the helpfull tips. Unfortunatly when I went to place the 2 halfs together I slipped and lost the sprins, Found the other parts so I tried reassembly with steel springs same diameter but a little longer. Seems more trouble than it is worth. I got the basics of how it works and enjoyed the lesson. Time to get back to the main goal improving on my picking skills. The drawings and suggestions really helped once again thank you for your time.

Is there possibly a better place to do sensitive lock assembly than where you are currently sitting? Maybe more light, or floor that doesn't have carpet for pins and springs to get lost? I lost a pin once to an ASSA lock, the day I was moving out of that old apartment, I finally saw it sitting in the carpet, the sun's reflection beaming off it.

Happens to all of us!

A watch repairer I knew had a cloth 'apron' fastened to his work table and he put it on his lap when working to help catch any small parts that went 'walkabouts'. I cannot remember precise details such as whether he fastened the other end to his clothing.

Some watch repair workbenches have a wood protrusion with a semicircle cutout you can belly up to. Would be easy to make out of plywood. I would get some kind of rubber mat to work over so parts won't bounce.
