Sparrows 4-Piece Plug Follower Set for lock disassembly
If you intend to take pin-cylinder locks apart to strip them, repin them or repair them, you need a selection of plug followers. These tubes slide into the housing as you remove the core, holding the pins and springs in place so the strip-down stays organised instead of pinging parts across the bench.

"Exactly what i expected, good quality followers!"verified buyer, 02/01/2021
Buy this when you start taking locks apart
Without a follower, the top pins and springs escape the moment the plug clears the housing. A set of followers keeps everything captive as you work, which turns repinning and repair from a scramble into a clean, repeatable bench job.
Keeps parts captive
Holds pins and springs as the core comes out.
Several sizes
Four followers to match common cylinder bores.
Bench essential
The base tool for repinning and repair.

Follow the plug out, keep the stack in
Choose the follower that matches the cylinder bore, keep it firmly against the plug as you push the core out, then work over a tray so any loose parts stay in view.
- Use on suitable pin-cylinder locks.
- Match the follower size to the bore.
- Work over a tray to catch loose parts.
Helpful next step: a set with repinning tweezers.
