Just received a box of locks in the mail.


Have not had to reassemble a euro-profile lock with a solid body (does not come apart with screws), so took some pictures as I worked it out. Hope this helps some people out. Hope to gain some input from those who have worked with these before and have some ideas.
Here are the parts that were in the bag.

First, stuck the key into the plug and found which key pins went where. The first driver and key pin are steel for drill protection. The rest are brass.

Once that was done, organized the driver pins, key pins and springs.

Now, to get the cam out, remove the clip from the other side.

Put the key into the other side and turn it slightly. Note - this is a dimple lock, so it is only slightly turned.

Now pull the plug out slightly.

Now the cam can be removed. Note - keep the part inside the cam where it is. That way it stays in the correct position. Once the cam is removed, slide the plug that you just pulled outwards back into place and remove the key. That will keep that side from getting messed up.

Load all of your springs into the lock.

Now take a 1/2" diameter dowel, and using the cam to be sure the sections are not too wide, and cut as many sections as you need. Probably a good idea to make sure the cuts are straighter than these, but they did work.

Insert the first section of dowel from where the cam normally sits.

Put a driver pin into the innermost pin channel. Push the dowel section in lightly to lock the driver pin in place.

While pressing on the dowel section, use tweezers, small screwdriver, Bowie knife, chainsaw, or other tool, to push the driver down so the dowel section can move in enough to keep the driver pin in place.


Now the follower section is farther in.

Add your next follower section.

Repeat adding drivers, pushing them down, and adding/moving follower sections until all driver pins are installed.

Hey! The driver pin for the first cut is magnetized! Cool!

All drivers are loaded.

Now take your plug that needs to be installed (with the key pins already in place)...

And be sure that if your plug has holes on the other side of the plug, they do not line up with the driver pins!

As you push the plug in, remove the follower sections as the come free.



All follower sections are out. Both plugs are slightly outwards.

Install the cam.

Push the plugs back in and install your clips.

Done!
Good luck, and would like to hear better ideas!
