Looking for a deadbolt cylinder in UK

[cyclops1101]

Hi,
Anybody know of a UK based supplier of cheap pin tumblers that can be easily repinned for practise purposes.
Like this one http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00081N9MC.01-A25H918G976PNM.MZZZZZZZ.jpg or preferably just an easy to seperate plug and cylinder for someone who has never attempted a repinning/lock breakdown before?

Okay, cool. but is there a brand thats easier to take apart and repin than another e.g 1 retainer thats easily removed and replaced?

All the same, get a replacement cylinder made by one of the popular companies, Yale, ERA, Union etc and you will be ok,

You should pay around £5-£10 for a cylinder,

any deadbolt is pretty easy... think cheap, I'm not sure about UK cheap brands but the cheapest model at your local bigbox store should do...

theres a pretty cheap one and it's in this 'United Kingdom' where ever the heck that is....

Great. Thanks all.
Just one more quickie, the lock shown by UWSDWF can easily be made repinnable by removing a circlip at the back of the cylinder and then rotating the plug of center etc (the method described by numerous tutorials ive found around, Thanks again for this great forum!)

virtually every hardware store, electronics shop, shoe repair place and odds/bobs shop sells spare cylinders, the ones that iv picked up retail for only £3-4, cheap nublet ones, some/most have at least one spool./mushroom pin, easy to repin by said method, so with a few you can make a variety of lock diffculties.
Makes it more enjoyable when you have been struggling for an hour to open a certain lock once, to take a step back and open a lock that you have mastered for a while, sometimes it helps me to refocus on ingoring the act of actually opening the lock and instead concentrating on moving individual pins.
