lockboards/stands

[simon_G]

heya guys, with luck im planning on making a lock board/stand soon (whichever is easiest im guessing )

however, im not really sure how to put the cylinders in.. do you just cut a hole a little bigger than the cylinder in the wood and screw it in, allowing the face ring to lock against the front?

thats my guess, but im by no means sure O_O

thanks for the help,

- Simon

Try and use a material slightly thicker than the cylinder , like a 2x10 or two pieces of plywood glued together. Figure a way to support the base. On the back of the cylinder there should be 2 set screw holes. Cut a piece of sheet metal or similar material slightly larger than the cylinder hole. Drill 2 holes aligned with the set screw holes and mount the cylinder. Stands can get rather elaborate but in school we use a simple 2x4 for individual cylinders. If you are using a cylindrical lockset to practice on , your mounting material must be 1 3/4 inches thick. Hope this helps. Be safe.

sweet, thanks for the tip.

one more question, would a lock stand be better than a board? because a stand i can put on my desk, while a board, i was thinking of making a support for it, rather similar to the 'look what my roomate made for me' thread that was on here a while ago.. i was also thinking about rather than nailing the board that had the actual locks on, having two hook of some sort underneath, then i can use different boards on the same set up ^^
