[177] Tutorial - Pinning up a Folger Adam Model 110 Mogul Jail Lock

These beautiful old locks were the default American jail locks for more than half a century. We repin one to match a pre cut key that I bought from eBay, to make a working piece of history.

Excellent tutorial Michael, although I think the only way I will ever encounter one of these huge locks, is if I visit New Zealand and get jailed... 😊

The locks so huge it looked like it was pinned by a hairy handed 6 year old. What's the Dia of the pins? Thanks for sharing Michael and have a great week mate.

[@MichaelMaynard]

Huge. Haven't got one in front of me but has to be 5 or 6mm. There's another vid on these coming up, I'll remember to measure them properly in that one.

[@Gazz_R]

@@MichaelMaynard That would be great, cheers.

[@mattoliverau]

Nice! Great video! Now I wonder how hard it would be to make some new pins for the other 2? 1 working lock is a huge achievement, but 3 would be better ;) Ball bearings shoudn't be too hard. As for the pins, what gage rod stock would you need. Even if you just used brass over steel.

[@craigslitzer4857]

Having worked directly on these locks, I can tell you machining pins to factory specs would be quite a challenge. The change pins have a semispherical recess to receive the ball bearings exactly .005 deep. The master pins have a tiny chamfer on the bottom side and a rounded top that's almost imperceptible to the naked eye. I've never seen a pin more than .0002 inches out of tolerance from the stated length. They are made from a corrosion resistant steel, because if I pull one out that was installed 20 years ago, the pins are in almost as good of shape as the brand new ones. Dropping new pins into a new cylinder bible you feel almost no play. They are a very tight fit, probably not more than .002 inch difference in diameter between a new pin and a new chamber. They are freakishly accurate. I love working on them.
