Does anyone know where I can find an American #200 core cheap? I dont care if it has a key or not or even pins...
I stupidly had a "lock killer" key that I made sitting around and my 2 year old grandson put it into my American 200 that I impressioned a key for a couple years ago.

I had to carefully drill out the core so as not to destroy any part of the lock body, got it out and everything inside looks great still,
There is a guy on eBay that wants $27.87 and $4.85 shipping for 3 of them... I only have 1 lock and I paid less for it then the 3 cores.


Thanks for looking

Mods, please move if this is not in the right spot, I couldnt figure out where to post

Wow.....you just threw your 2 yr old grandson under the bus.

If you met the little hellion (and wonderful child) you would understand...

He loves to grab my locks or keys and run like hell before I can grab him... laughing the entire time

Oh, he does this with my cane as well....

Its my fault, I have lock killer keys sitting around (well I did have them sitting around but not any more) and I was stupid enough to have that one sitting on the work table right next to my 200 which I was putting in the Rytan to make a duplicate of. I should know to NEVER turn my back on the little bugger because he is superhuman fast when it comes to things he shouldnt do...

I was just hoping I would not have to pay alot for my mistake.

Can you post a picture of the lock in question? I have several different styles of American cylinders, both old and new.

Thanks for checking Jeff...

Here are a couple pics I just took, I drilled out the cylinder but buggered up the houseing in the front so this one is no good.

OK I will check tonight and PM you.

Thank you so much Jeff...
