Problem with older locks

Postby pauly003 » 24 Nov 2006 12:08

I have a problem with some of my locks. Once i have removed the thin little strip of metal that holds the top pins down(i forget what they are called)
i often cant get them back in. More often than not i have to pry the strip off and it gets destroyed. are replacement strips available?? is there any way to get around this. I only remove it because i am a noob and i like to see the guts of different locks
