These can be snapped and then drilled. I use a modified bar to slot over the entire cylinder right up to the hardened steel plate that holds the cam. Snap it out then just drill out the locking pin. Chris Belcher snap bars work aswel. Hope that helps.

Yeah I’ve seen the Chris Belcher bars think tradelocks still stock them actually, I’ve had to drill the locking pin on an ABS before , wasn’t a pretty job 😂

Does this cylinder have the emergency and danger function? Can I unlock the cylinder from the outside while a key is inserted on the inside?

I’ve tried the tension wrench method but even if it’s just slightly too thin the trap pins will spring, for the sake of it just file down any key that will fit and you’ve got 50% of the traps covered then 👍🏻🔑

Nice, unfortunately for me every one I’ve had of theses has been a thumb turn and not key and key which makes this lock a completely different fish all together, when it’s just key and key they can be easy epg with my gun and a cut down key. Try and thumb turn for a challenge 🔥🔫

@OvermindAlpha3 жыл бұрын
Is it not just a case of getting something all the way into the keyhole (to catch and engage the cam) whenever you turn the barrel? So like, pick the pins, engage cam, rotate until 1st set of trap pins, pick them, catch cam again, rotate until last set of trap pins, pick them, catch cam and finish the rotation. Correct?
@FortressLocksmiths3 жыл бұрын
@@OvermindAlpha in principle yes but sometimes not that simple, for instance the Avocet ATK you just need to engage the cam once and then you can actually withdraw the tool and put a normal tension wrench and it will still rotate. The easiest way to pick up the cam on this (when it’s a thumbturn) will be to file down an original ERA Fortress key so it just rides over the pins but allows you to insert and withdraw at will and that should do it, in fact I will test out this theory tomorrow! In a normal cylinder it’s not a problem as you can rotate left and right until you catch the cam just right but obviously when there’s trap pins present it makes it more challenging
