BRINKS 101-45092 Question

[sbear2000]

I have a ReKeyable BRINKS 101-45092 KW1.what i want to know is what type of pins and springs are in the plug because i want to get some extra pins and springs.
I would also like to know what type of plug or what type of plug would fit the lock

thanks

I have the same lock you have. It has a blue sticker covering the rekey window right? Any regular KIK cylinder will fit in there and it uses "standard" sized pins (aka the LAB universal size, Sargent, Kwikset, Schlage, etc)

Is this it:

thanks for the reply but this one is different.i did alittle more research and i think this one has the ic core with the kw1 keyway since the key has kw1 on it.i found a video on you tube that shows the lock



thanks

Xeo was right. normal .003 pins that all regular house locks use. that's not an IC core. although the bottom looks like one, when you open the padlock, you use the allen wrench they supplied with the lock, and remove the screw inside the shackle hole. once that is removed, the lock cylinder will drop out.

Hey Jerry, that's my vid. Although I have the lock... it seems these guys know more about it than I do. lol
Xeo is correct on the pins... and Keymaster is right, it's not a true IC core. But if there's any details I can get for you by looking at the lock or the package, let me know.

thanks for all the replys.Oldfast great vid.at least i know what to look for now.lol.since i am here to learn got 1 more question.how do you tell if its a ic core or not.

thanks

An ic core uses a control key to remove it, no removal of screws, etc. is needed.

Thanks for the link Whitegraphite. Good, quick read... I even learned a thing or two.

[sbear2000]

Thanks for the link Whitegraphite.I learned a lot . just because it may look like a ic core doesn't
mean it is a ic core lol.
thanks everyone

just a quick update decided to change the pinning and took it apart i was looking at the lock body and before i knew it it fell apart in my hands i thought wellll i will keep it nice lol anyways after the shock and a little studying i was able to put it back together.then on to repinning it.i was going to start over from scratch but then i desided to just remove a few pins but to late all ready dumped all the pins so i had to figure how to rekey it and after a few days of reading and thinking i just got it done YEAH lol.took and made it a 3 pin with 2 spools

[Oldfast]

Haha. Thanks for the update. And that's the first of many episodes to come... lol... but that's how we learn! I've most certainly fudged up a couple locks myself.

Keep at it, and keep sharing with us!
