Yesterday I made a dumbass mistake while disassembling my ABUS 83CS/55 Rock. I pushed in the detent and turned the plug the wrong way.....when I heard the drivers load into the plug I thought 'Crap I just ruined this great lock. After looking at it awhile and thinking the worst, I realized that one key pin was stuck in there and five drivers, four of which were spools. On this particular lock there is access through the plug, so after doing a little math, I made a tool that would push all the remaining drivers to the shear line as well as the stuck key pin. I was really happy when it worked and got my lock back.

nice job! Glad when a lock is saved from certain doom.

Great save! nice home bee tool

Think we've all heard various 'sounds' and felt the doom that comes with it. lol

Nice recovery! Very creative.

Thanks guys, it sure felt good to save that lock and get a lesson without any severe consequenses.

It looks like a robot hand.
