I'm thinking about re-keying my back door and found this channel. I like the detailed explanations of the common mistakes which I will be making personally as soon as I take the thing apart. I have subscribed because whether I re-key or not, these are fun to watch.
Thank you for your excellent video... I am working on my first rekeying project. Somehow I really messed it up and the cylinder is locked up and I can't get it to come out with the follower. I think I didn't use the correct pins or something. Any suggestions? thank you very much!
When all else fails, just remove the follower in a controlled environment and let the pins and springs roll haha Check you springs, check the core, lubricate everything. You can even use it as a learning experience and put one chamber in at a time, then try the key each time and see where your problem is if it still persists!
I don't have a follower, i used a multi-bit screwdriver as a follower. Just remove the phillips heads & handle, and use the cylinder thing as the follower.
Sometimes they fly away never to be seen again. But, you can buy cases of 50-100 for a few bucks online. Just search up Kwikset Springs from Lab. Alot of online vendors sell Lab, even Amazon lol
Thank you! I'm a DIY and was about to throw away a brand new lock!

I wonder if you can rebuild a European cilinder ...

Oh! Sometimes you can use a marker or the lid of a marker as a plug follower as well!
I lost a spring. I’m so screwed!
