How to Breakdown My Primus?

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

There is a box on Ebay and they lower levels of restriction can be found fairly easily.

Will still slide in, but the sidebar might not be correct.

I've taken standard schlage 6 pin blanks before and just ground down some of the wardings to make it fit into a primus too. I'll give that a try. Again, thanks all.

Remember the usual: Do everything in a plastic bag over a towel, and drop 1 pin stack at a time and organize them in order. Since you don't have a key I guess that doesn't matter.

When you don't want to lose the bitting, it's better to intentionally dump the stacks 1 by 1 and keep track of their order, than trying to keep them in the plug and losing the order.

We've all thought we could get away without the bag and towel, and we've all lost parts as a result. Better safe than sorry.

I believe that Schlage Everest's use the same keyway and the blanks shouldn't have the same restrictions.

My C123 Everest key blank won't fit my Primus. :cry:
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Primus is a version of Everest, but in classic keyways instead of the new keyways (C123, D145 ect).

just grind a blank down, it's not like it needs to be sturdy, just so long as the blade is nice and tall, you can thin something down and jam it in there.

:P Be daring!
