Finding High Security Pins help

Postby Hades26650 » 3 May 2016 14:07

Hello. I was wondering, where could I find high security pins online for a Schlage keyway?

I already have a bunch of serrated, and spool pins, I would like others such as mushroom, T pins, barrel, etc.

I have tried to search for this on Google, but found nothing, other than spools & serrated pins.

If I've posted in the wrong section, I'm sorry. I thought that posting in hardware, locks would be a good place.

I think you mean anti picking pins or security pins, but we don't commonly refer to such a pin as a High Security Pin. High security is a term applied to locks that have specific features such as 2 points of locking, drill protection, a particular rating to withstand picking attack for x minutes, etc. A spool pin in a Kwikset lock doesn't suddenly make the lock high security.

Per our chat last night, I really don't think you'll find anyone making universal mushroom pins that will fit into that Schlage keyway practice lock you bought. only spool and serrated. Some locksmiths actually don't differentiate and call spool pins mushroom pins.

LAB is back online again after yesterday's interesting error on their website. Perhaps contact them to see if they make a bigger variety of anti picking pins such as mushroom or other. http://www.labpins.com/htm/spool.html

T pins are made for a particular Schlage knob cylinder, and *could* be used to rekey a normal lock and make them act like a security pin, but they are not security pins when used in a compressible bible KIK cylinder. and if you're looking for ASSA style barrel pins for that Schlage keyway practice lock, you'll probably have to turn your own on a lathe, as it's not an off the shelf product, and I believe they are a different diameter pin than Schlage plugs are drilled for. This page lists some different lock manufacturers pin diameter sizes http://www.splockpins.com/order_new_lock_pins.html

The ASSA barrel pins are 0.114" in diameter and Schlage pins are 0.115" diameter so they could be interchanged if you wanted. As far as where to get them there is a guy on the forums named jimu57 that sells them on ebay. For $12 shipped you can get 3 each of 4 different lengths of barrel pins.

the Schlage T pins are for use in the F series compressible cylinders but can be reversed in normal locks for extra fun :)
