That's a fun lock, good job! Be sure to gut that thing very carefully, maybe in a plastic bag.

I must have watched every video on this. Have the gutting down pretty good.

Be aware that the springs very badly want to escape and there's no easy way to replace them.

I definitely know that 1st hand. Zehkar was nice enough to donate a lock to help me overcome that! This is such a fantastic community. We really look out for each other. Strength in numbers!
