Model A steering wheel lock
Have recently been asked to make a key for the pictured Model A steering wheel lock. It's a Sargent 4-pin lock which takes an Ilco 1010B blank, which I have. It looks like it will be a PITA to put the springs and top pins in once the plug is removed. They will have to be put in 1 at a time until all 4 sets are in. The front of the plug is stamped G182. Anybody who has done a similar lock, please advise.

It could be four pins but sometime there a five pins to hold the plug inside the lock. Also as looking the picture the hole for the pins only if you can turn the lock until you see the pins inside the lock and the pin may come out. Like the American Padlock cylinder. Note keep this in mind that the bottom pins may pop up in the plug. Not sure but there may be screw or pin on the side to hold the cylinder. If can turn cylinder both way to find it. Per picture...

The one picture you said black dot for set screw that goes into the cylinder. Have you try to take that set screw out. That could be what holding the cylinder in. If the screw does come out went it unlock to pull he cylinder out be careful that it may have spring load inside pop out.....Timothy.....

There are some lock just about the one you have. I use what they call Shim if you can get it inside of the cylinder than pull out and be sure hold on to the shim. If not have to take it out slow one by one so the spring will not pop out. To put back in use the shim on top of the hole where the spring are and slowing push the cylinder back in. Hoping this would help out and maybe someone else may help. Not sure as I know you have information from another forum which not a member of them. Maybe they can explain better of what I said. I do know Jeffmoss26 member other forum maybe can help out more......Timothy....
