i'm sorry no pic!!

they are anti-drill plates

that makes sense.One for the pins the other for the side bar !!

thanks UWSDWF.

Is there any trick to take out the plug ???I felt like i was going to rip off the side bar when i pushed the plug??

Uhm, i'm not so sure they are mate...
By the sound of it, you're talking about the spacer/washer that holds the plug in place at the back of the lock.
Does it look more like a horseshoe than a half moon?

No, UWSDWF is right. They are anti drill plates and slip inside the face of the lock in front, not back.

I just looked in The complete book of locks and locksmithing. From the picture there I would say USDFWF was correct. They are anti-drill plates.

medeco's don't use circlips... not even on their KIK (the tail has a plate that screws on)

anyway NIC's problem...
insert the key turn 45Âº and pull (use plug follower as nessicary) if this is not original to you careful as it maybe mastered pinned and sometimes them wafers get all jammed up.
