How to Intelligently Re-Pin/Re-Key a Lock

Thank you , very educational , great explanation , 70 yr.old beginner , thanks , moe

Good video, but for anyone thinking about doing this, just understand that this won't make a difference in security. Standard pin tumbler locks are not designed for high security and security pins are just a poor patch job. Once you have successfully manipulated a few of them, you can open them all regardless of security pins. So if you aren't going out of your way to get and arrange security pins, go for it. But if all you have are standard pins and need to rekey a lock, you aren't missing anything. The person robbing you is usually not manipulating your locks and the ones that are will not be slowed down by the type of pins you're using. If you want better security in a lock, two things count the most: size and complexity. The more material they need to cut through and the more moving parts it takes for manipulation, the better. If it's just a padlock guarding a fence that doesn't face the outside, anything will work just fine. If it's a lock for your front door, a good deadbolt will cost a couple hundred, but don't forget to combine it with a good door, security hinges, strong frame, secure windows, and a security plate covering the gap between the door and frame. Security is expensive and going nuts on a lock won't help much if the other parts of the perimeter are cheap, flimsy, missing, or defective. Layers are better than a tough lock. Awareness, cameras, lights, alarms, gates, dogs, and weapons are the begginings of security. If you're just guarding your work clothes in a gym locker, your padlock choice doesn't matter.

great video. i don’t normally watch your lock videos. i watch lock picking lawyer, i like the in-depth descriptions he provides. How ever, this was an exceptional video. great info and really detailed about the pining process. good job

Sweet new pucking channel to follow! Instant fan🤷🏼😉😝👏🤘😎

great video

When you fail to pin the lock correctly then you get to learn lock picking, Also a good video for beginners.

You can also rekey without removing clip or using follower

Is that a socket extension that you are using as a follower?

Need help with setting up combination preset paper was gone when I bought it at pawn shop .help me out

Oh also i would use surrated for low to no travel while using spool for deep. Serrates work better in 1100 for oversetting pins, where spools like that deep travel to actually be engaging🤷🏼. If that makes sense. Still great video. Sorry for multiple posting on same video. Just alot covered here🤣🫣🤷🏼😝
