LAB EPK003 Wedge Pro Pin Kit, .003 System (Metal Wedge)

The Wedge Pro .003 kit carries 124 pin sizes in color coded brass: bottom pins from .156 to .360 and top/master pins from .010 to .200, plus one spring size. That range covers the bottom pin depths and the top and master pin increments a locksmith needs to pin and master key most standard pin tumbler cylinders off one board.

A .003 system means the pins step in .003 inch increments, which is the fine increment used for master keying work where you need tight depth control between the bottom pin, the master wafer, and the top pin. If you only do straight rekeying to a single key, a coarser universal kit is enough; pick the .003 Wedge Pro when you build master key systems and need the smaller steps to keep the shear line clean.

It's built as a solid metal case with a seal-tight lid that keeps the pins from jumping pocket to pocket when the kit gets bounced around, which is the usual failure with plastic tray kits in a mobile rig. That lid is the reason locksmiths running road calls pick this one over an open tray.

That's what the top and master pin range is for. With 124 sizes on the board covering both bottom pins and top/master pins, you can build a master key system so one key opens every unit while each tenant cylinder keeps its own change key. Rekeying is done on the cylinders you already have, so no new locks are needed at turnover.

Yes. There's a large slide out tool drawer under the pin pockets, with internal storage measuring 12-1/2 x 7 x 2-5/15 inches. That holds a plug follower, tweezers, cap tools and key gauges so the whole rekeying setup travels as one box.

It's a commercial grade kit. A 124 size board with master pins is aimed at locksmiths, security integrators and in-house maintenance shops rekeying and master keying across a building or a portfolio, not at a one time house rekey.

No. Springs are included on the board, in one spring size that works with the pin range supplied. You'll still want your own plug follower and cap tools, since the kit ships the pins and springs, not the bench tools.
