.5" dowel makes a decent plug follower for most locks and length should be about 4-5". As key gauges go you might try http://www.lockpickshop.com you get a 10% discount with coupon code lp101...they are one of our sponsors after all. I don't know if they sell plug followers but you could PM Red and ask him.
