Mortise Cylindar quick slide spring cover

[WolfSpring]

This isn't really great but it works for what I needed. I had a hard time getting the cover off my emhart and mangled the cover and looked around to see what I had to put instead though a wiper blade but they are not thick enough, soda can to thin and to hard to cut with tools i got so I found a pen clip and filed it down, it's a little rough but it works great. Basically broke the part of that connects to the pen lid, the part i usally make a tension wrench out of, lol. Bent the round piec at the end for a handle and filed it down. Mind you I'm not around any place to get proper tools so this is pretty good for what i've got.

Good idea..how easy is it to remove so you can repin? That is always my problem!

Great idea.

When it's in the lock it almost looks factory made.

I love improvised tools..

It goes in and out easy enough, I filed the back end a little to much so if I twist it upward it will pop out, just gotta remember to put my finger over it when I slid it so the springs don't go flying lol.
