Yesterday I rekeyed my first Euro-Cylinder - actually it was half a cylinder (broken off by a locksmith in an emergency opening) I had picked it about 500 times and it was so easy it got boring. So I decided to put in a security pin for a change. As you normally cannot use a plug follower in a euro-cylinder I bent a strip of windscreen wiper blade as a pin holder
looks roughly like that from aside:

you push it in to prevent the driver pins from popping out when you remove the round cylinder part. If you have to change drivers, you just carefully pull it back with a tool inserted to grab the pin and slowly take it out. If you are careful enough, the spring stays in its place.

Now I got a torpedo-style pin in it and will swap to a spool next time I repin it.
