some CISA padlock questions
i just got this baby in the mail- no keys, a pack of pins and springs and some plug things and a long retainer pin... i guess the photos will show all that.
my first question is, in the first photo u can see a pin proud of the body of the lock. i am guessing it is a shackle retainer pin or something. what do i do with it though? i've tried [gently cos im not sure] pulling on it with my fingers [the pin, the pin!] but it is at least moderately stuck in there. am i meant to press it all the way in, grind it off...?
the hole i gather is for the barrel retainer pin. i drive it in with what?
i'm going to get some grub keys and a tap so i can repin this lock in the future but: is the general approach to just drive what i gather are the pin chamber caps in?
also, i notice all the keypins are the same length, so i would file them to different lengths yeah?
any pointers would be great, thanks chaps.
