cover, keeping pins where they should be, even when they’re being transported. Just don’t forget to snap the lids closed! The labels are displayed on both the sides and tops of the compartments for easy view- ing at any angle. If you aren’t quite sure which of the two increment kits would suit you the best, fear not: mini kits are available. These are LMK003 and LMK005 /16 (8" x 6" x 11 ", metal box) LAB Steel Mini Kits (Figure 25). Each contains 81 sizes of pins, including springs. These are great to have in the van and small enough to fit in your tool kit. They were a godsend when I taught a master key- ing class in Mexico. Schlage The Schlage Lock Company has its cor- porate roots in San Francisco, but its true Who is Craig Schlage? Craig Schlage is one of interest, but Wal- ter Schlage sure made his mark on the industry. One thing that his company kept intact over the years was the sim- plicity in pinning. Even with the advent of many different incarnations of the Schlage locks — from Classic to Everest, Primus and XP — one basic pin kit still exists: the 40-119. origin was in Thuringia, Germany, in the late 1800s. In this small town in central Germany, Walter Reinhold Schlage was known as “The Lock Wizard,” a young man with a passion for inventions, ad- venture and mechanics. Years later, in San Francisco, he designed and produced the first push-button lock centered inside a door knob (KIK) — revolutionary for the time. Schlage 40-119 This Schlage pinning kit (11" x 8.25" x 2") can be used to combinate conventional Schlage cylinders, SFICs, Everest and Pri- mus cylinders. There is a separate Schlage Primus pin kit, but if the finger pins are not being changed, the 40-119 will do the trick (Figures 26-27). It contains: 10 BPs, eight MPs, three TPs, springs, cap pin springs, caps, fol- lower, tweezers, key gauge, shims and cyl- inder cap removal tool — everything you need to leave your shop employees smiling. LAB also offers replacement kits for Schlage in a few formats.
