Do the pins just drop into the keyway?
That happens to me all the time with my 5200, what I do to fix it is take a flat pick and use it to push all the pins down AND tension the plug, then when I push down on the shackle the plug is freed and I can return it to it's proper position. If that doesn't work try again bible side down (key pins getting stuck in re-keying holes?) Hope that helps HallisChalmers.
Can anybody explain the situation with the 911's and 930's? I'd like to get to the bottom of it.
My apologies to the OP for thread jacking, but yea, mul t locks present many oportunities to get jamed.
what happens is: similar to the way a plug spinner works, when the shackle is slammed shut,
the speed at which the plug is spun,allows the drivers to skip past the locked position,
continuing around to 180 deg. at which point (in for instance,a master safety lockout)
the pins are tossed out the repinning holes...
even if you manage to push the drivers up out of the keyway,and rotate the plug back to the locked position,the springs and drivers shoot into the keyway...
( i know it sounds like an EZ fix,but until i had it happen to me, so did I)
this has happened to me on camera,on an orange safety lockout,and also on a 911,and a 930,
and a yale dimple lock off cam.)
the only known fix that has worked for me is bypassing,with the american bypass tool made by peterson.
