1,2,3,4 pin rim cylinders

[davisc02]

Hi Chaps,

 

I have been asked by someone if I can supply quite a few 1,2,3 and 4 pin rim cylinders. Does anyone know where I can get them, I have rang SKS and DB and they only do 5 and 6 pin versions.

 

Thanks

Why would they want a one pin cylinder? Are they trying to wind you up?

Have a look on this site, a bit further down from the picture.

Looks like they are used to practice lock picking so I suppose it makes sense.

I would have thought that you could make them cheaper yourself though by removing pins from 5 pin cylinders

For lock picking practice I guess.

Or they can of course be easily made yourself.

I saw that cheers. They are a locksmith training school and I think they do not want to pay 30 quid a prop, there are no marking on them so maybe they are chinese import.

You'd expect a locksmith training school to be able to re-pin a cylinder wouldn't you

Haaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaa!!! Must be a wind up.  Tell 'em you'll do it for 20quid a pop plus 1 pound per pin!

Just buy any 5 or 6 pin cylinders, remove the plug  then repin as required.

 

I can supply you with the cylinders if you want.

Another shite locksmith school run by some knob who cannot even by a £3 cylinder and remove pins!!!!!! I would tell him to shove it

Perhaps he's doing so well with the courses he hasn't the time or the inclination to do "quite a few" locks. I could cut leather soles out if a hide but buy them precut because my times more valuable else where.

[Mick Friend]

Yes Lee I do agree but you are not charging some mugs thousands to 'open locks' then call them qualified - I have heartbreak letters from soldiers, grad students, shop workers etc who dumped it all into 'training' buying kit they did not need or could not use and go down the swanny 5 months in and 2 lost their houses...... I know a fool and money etc but these people are genuine and are trying to better themselves.

Would you cut and provide a bloke down the road with soles if he was training 5 people in your area to mend shoes?

That's a better idea. If they strip them and re-pin they would have a better idea of how the lock works. This would give them a better idea of how to pick them. They would only need one cylinder each because they could re-pin each time.
