Raleigh lockset

This is a dismantled Raleigh Superbe fork lockset.

 

Bottom row, L to R: New keys, tumbler, cylinder, new woodruff key, lock washer, and screw.

 

Top row, L to R: Original lockpin, new lockpin.

 

A new lockpin was needed as way back in the bikes past, the key was lost after the fork was locked and the problem was solved with a hacksaw. The new pin was made from the shank of a wornout 1/4" HS drillbit and shaped with a RH grinder with a cutoff wheel and a bench grinder.

 

I lost the original woodruff key while removing the lock from the fork. It dropped out and went to wherever small parts, ball bearings, and left socks go.

 

A hint for taking one of these locks to a locksmith. Tell them that a key from a 70s Craftsman tool box will slide into the lock. They will be more willing to futz with it then.
