Excellent video instruction. The tips on where to apply tension and retaining the cylinder so it does fall out are very good tips that I would not have thought otherwise. Much thanks!
The piece on the back of the mortise cylinder that engages/disengages the lock is called a cam,not "a lever" and the stem attached to a rim cylinder is called a tailpiece.The "flat metal plate" that you refer to in the video is called the spring cap,the spring cap is rarely,if ever removed for rekeying lock cylinders.That plastic tool that you demonstrate is called a follower and what's more the follower should be turned either to the 11 O'clock position or to the 1 O'clock position before the plug is pused out with the follower to ensure that none of the driver pins (top pins) hang up on the follower's notch.Very bad advice as to when to insert the key into the cylinder.The key should only be inserted into the cylinder after the cam is dettatached from the cylinder and the plug is ready to be removed with the follower otherwise the plug may inadvertently slide out of the hull and you will end up spending a good deal of time searching for the key pins,the driver pins and the pin springs all over your floor,if you can find them all.When ever I have to rekey a cylinder I always use rubber o-rings to keep the follower from sliding out of the hull.
One suggestion is that when you reinsert the plug, try to trun the tlug a little towards the one o clock position so that you do not end up with a gap between the plug and follower.
Very nice video! I have an ignition Lock (from a Renault Clio 2) wich is very similar to this one. I cleaned it up very well and now I thinking what kind of lubricant to use. Do you know wich one I can use?
Thanks for this video! Do you have any suggestions on how to get the springs back in if you removed the cylinder without using the plastic plug follower? Also, my lock looks exactly like yours - do you have a link to a plug follower I could buy?

Well done. You’ve answered my question. I like your relaxed teaching style.
Great video, thanks!

Did you replace just the cylinder pins the one with the key inside the motor
Good Video . For Your Info. That Part You Called A Lever , It's Real Name Is Called A " CAM "
3:30
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Didn't say that the (offset) is very important when following the core. I seen where the Vid restarted bcz the follower gap was at 90°.
Maybe i missed something how do you get a new key made to fit the new pins?
Does anybody know how to get a broken key out of a lock like this one?
FYI it's called a CAM You might want to use it next time. It helps
Shakey hands calm down
Looks like same key..lol
shouldve called the video how to dis and re-assemble a mortise lock .
not a mortice lock.
