Hello, i would just like to say thank you shurb for telling me how to repin a lock, i can repin them now in about 2 minutes, i would just like to comment on a few tools to help the process much quicker, instead of the wooden plug follower, i used the plastic casing of a pen like the one which you can view below if you follow the link, it has the correct thickness for what you need. i will tell you what i did below.
1.after i took the lock out by twisting it too about 20degrees and pushing it through with the pen, i let the pins fall out
2. i placed the springs in the top holes by turnning the lock holder upside down so the top pin holes are on the bottom and using needle nose pliers i placed the springs in the holes
3. when the springs were in i held one of the pins in the needle nosed pliers and pushed down on the spring
4. while i was pusing the spring down i inserted the pen at the back with the end which you write with coming through, the angle of the pen nose allows you to have enough space for the needle nose pliers to be removed and to cath the pin so it doesnt fall out, i repeated the process and pushed the pen further up untill all the pins that i need were in
5. i inserted the lock and pushing the pen down in the lock holder forcing the pins down i pushed the lock all the way through and twisted it untill it locked.
P.S this is just my method of doing it i find it much easier this way because of the angle of the nose of the pen, which allows more movement when inserting the pins, i really need pictures for you to understand it completely.
