Plug Follower - Segal Key way

[stevedavis]

Where is the best place to get a plug follower for a segal key way? Also, what is the correct size? None of the followers I have fit.

If you had access to a dial/digital caliper and a lathe you could turn one yourself...

Personally I would try to find one online somewhere, lockpicks.com sells followers, look for distributors of LAB products - they're the most popular manufacturer or pinning / rekeying stuff...

Use the crayon and electrical tape / wood dowell method discussed in other threads IE search and see if you can find a solution...

Hope it helps ~Grit.

if you can remove the plug then take a dowel, or piece of soft wood, and just copy the size exactly.

Since what I thought a crayon-wrapped-in-electrical-tape plug follower was, has turned out to be wrong I can't really say which is better.

Chrispy might be able to fill you in with that one

I can't believe there is a mystery about this. What exactly is a "crayon-wrapped-in-electrical-tape-plug-follower" then? Is this some sort of euphemism?

well where I live a crayon is another word for a pencil... so I used a pencil wrapped in tape...

it seems that what I thought was a crayon is not.... according to Chrispy anyway

Still think my wooden one is better, and I don't even know what Chrispy's on about

Ah. Ok. I didn't realize you silly Brits had a different name for a crayon.

So... crayon = wax crayon / pencil crayon=well.. pencil crayon... in color

Ohhhhhhh!!

and I thought Chrispy was jump talking bollo.... I mean rubbish

well I'll still have to see if Chrispy's plug follower beats mine

sorry 'bout that Chrispy

Yes, but not in that order.

If I am thinking of the same cylinder, I believe I used a sharpie one time for this lock.
