Mask for Universal Pinning Kit for easy pinning
I have a universal 3-in-1 pin kit, and I rekey the occasional lock, but not enough to memorize the lengths of the pins. The chart they provide requires that I flip back and forth to see the depth number, then translate that to the pin length, then find it in the corresponding bin of the tray.
So I came up with this mask that fits over the bins so it will show me the exact number and position of the required pin for the manufacturer. I don't know if this is an original design or not, but something that I though up of in bed. Also, I supposed someone can also make their own up for their personal pin kits especially if you have the large universal kits.
What I had to contend with, cuts on one side, lengths and location on other side of the original guide card.
Mask of Schlage, printed on to transparency material.
Mask of Kwikset, printed on to card stock material.
I think the best would be to create them on card stock, laminate it, then cut it out. I originally used transparency material for a more durable material, but I think having a opaque background would be better, but should be more durable, hence to laminate it.
