Am i correct ?

Could somebody please go onto www.diy.com - and find me a lock that can be repinable for a reasonable price ( £15 at most )

Oh and..are euro cylinders repinable ?

Thanks alot

You can re-pin the replacement lightlatch cylinders

or euro cylinders

Forgot to mention that the sheds are not as cheap as they make out Try old style hardware stores for lcylinders such as Sterling, also woolies and general homeware type stores

If you want to repin a lock to make it tougher to pick, try this first

that is called a Rim cylinder, and it has a Yale keyway. With 6 pins you'll be picking it for hours. You can also choose to remove a pin or 2 and get really good picking 3 or 4 pins, then insert another, practice, and then insert the 6th pin stack back in and go for the full monty.


If you really need to have a repinnable padlock.. I believe this kind has a hidden screw in one of the shackle holes, which wll allow you to remove the cylinder from the bottom of the lock. then you can use a plug follower and remove the plug, repin things, and put it back together.

That lock looks like a Master No. 570
I know because I'm holding one in my hand. The one I have has not been picked yet, and not from the lack of trying. =/

euros can be re-pinned, its a bit more awkward though as your plug follower will need to be in small sections to slide in where the cam was.
you could cut your euro into 2 separate locks then it would be just like re-pinning a normal cylinder.

DOH !! I was going to mention that rim cylinders (or nightlatch cylinders as B&Q call them ) are easier to re-pin

Guys here don't buy them from local stores either. They have alot of them on ebay, still not cheap but better than $200 from a locksmith shop.

Yeah I've got a Yale cylinder. I asked one of the guys at my shop if they had a lock to keep me busy and he threw it to me and laughed. I guess I need to start on it tomorrow.

I love the look of that lock.
