Lab Shims Lab Security Shelf Bracket LSM025

Great item. Worked great for slipping this shim between the pins on a dead bolt lock.

If you have a box of locks without keys, use these to remove the cylinders for re-pinning. They cant be used on the front of any locks Ive seen, so the lock has to be taken off the door prior to use. They appear to be original LAB parts, and fits nicely in my pin kit. I get a lot of uses of of one shim.. if you ding the end, trim it off and use it again.

I would like to see them with a little more carbon. They are too flexible, but better than some.

One set came in bent. Second better shipping works well in lock shimming

Just what i needed thanks

The shims are the right thickness to fit but they are not rigid enough to unlock even the most basic masterlock. This is a shim that got stuck and even after opening the lock with the key it would not budge. Using tweezers, the remnant the you see in the photo is all that could be retrieved. After opening it with the key, the remnants inside were shredded and couldnt be removed. The lock is now partially damaged.

works good for rekeying lock cylinders

Metal this thin simply cant last that long. In other words, they are semi-disposable. Expect no more than 2-3 uses out of each one, but thats as expected.

The shims were delivered promptly. I was rekeying a lock and needed the shim to open the lock.
