Springs, Shims & Caps
Springs, shims and caps are replacement components used to service standard and interchangeable-core lock cylinders or refill an existing rekeying kit. Keeping the correct small components available allows a locksmith to rebuild cylinders cleanly without replacing a complete kit or mixing incompatible spring lengths and cap styles.
The current LAB selection includes standard and tangle-resistant springs, short and long interchangeable-core springs, original manufacturer springs for systems such as Schlage, Kwikset, Corbin Russwin, Yale and Best, stamped and machined interchangeable-core caps, spring covers, curved shims and specialty spool or T-pins. LAB also offers a complete Spring Kit containing a broad assortment of springs, shims, caps, covers and specialty pins. Select each component by lock manufacturer, cylinder format, spring length and cap or cover type. Complete pin systems are available under Rekeying Kits, and installation tools are listed under Pinning Tools.
