how to dismantle

[figo]

i have made a search, but found nothing, so i ask, how can i dismantle this kind of cylinder?




it has a simple kind of key, not that dimple, but it looks like that..


i would like to dismantle it without damage, if possible. just want to find out if it has any security pins

Its a euro profile so search for euro cylinder or along those lines ,im sure there is a thread on this already.

there are a lot of threads arround the theme, but none of them realy helps... in at last two of them the person who made the thred then says something like "well already done, thanks anyway" still dont even know here to start. as i said in onotehr thread, it is a prctice cylinder that i just cant pick, although i`ve picked others of the same type quite esily

I am pretty sketchy on the details, but apparently you can get some dowel slices, or magnets, and use them as an incremental plug follower. They slip in, piece by piece before the cam, and you end up with a complete follower inside the lock

well, already done, thanks anyway. at least i`m gonna learn how to do a proper search and stop bother others with subjects already discussed. didn`t had any special pins, i was just beeing sloppy. Had a hell of a time puting the pins ind the proper place, there were pins and springs all over the place...

Since you cannot use a plug follower in Euro cylinders, one way to get around this is cutting a piece of dowel (or even a tube or plug follower) up into rings or slices (when using a dowel rod, think of the game checkers and go for that kind of slice).

The next step is removing what functions as a cam (I think the word is) in the middle. Usually, you will find two thin C-shaped rings, one on either side. You'll need to take these out first using a pair of needle-nose pliers or some such; try not to bend them out of shape. Then take away the black thing in the middle. Now you can pick one of the cylinders, turn it half way, turn the whole lock upside down and start putting in your checkers pieces or plug follower rings. One after the other, till they have pused out the plug and made sure all the upper pins remain inside the hull. Rekey, re-pin etc., then push the rings out one by one with the plug, turn to lock, refit the middle piece and the C-shaped rings and

as dismantling is needed for rekeying, you could have looked at:
