Lab Shims Lab Security Shelf Bracket LSM025

These are used when re-pinning a lock to keep the pins from popping out when you remove the core. These are NOT padlock shims that are used on padlocks to slide around the shackle and cause a spring loaded shackle retaining mechanism to retract thereby opening the padlock, aka shimming a padlock. As others have noticed, these are too thin for padlock shimming and are the wrong shape and size. That being said, some padlocks have very little clearance around the shackle and could possibly be shimmed by using this very thin material if cut to a proper size to fit. It is not their intended purpose and one shouldnt review them negatively for being too thin as a padlock shim as this isnt their intended purpose. Go to the Sparrows website and search on padlock shim to see what padlock shims look like. Cheers!

Just what i needed thanks

Exactly what I needed replaced in my lock pinning kits, with a few to spare! Thanks for the fast shipping!

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

Shims were as advertised.

Just as advertised. Worked well rekeying a lock

What I expected! Very pleased

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

no

These worked great when used with a blank. I got one stuck by using 1s and 2s so be sure to use a blank. Ordered a new batch, they work very well.
