Lock re-pinning assembly

An assembly configured for use with each of a plurality of lock cylinder formats, wherein each of the lock cylinder formats includes one of a plurality of shell formats and one of a plurality of plug formats, each of the shell formats includes a cylindrical body and a tower connected to the body at a tower base, and each of the plug formats includes a curved outer surface and a back end, the assembly comprising:

• a plurality of housings, wherein each of the housings is configured for use with a corresponding one of the shell formats, each of the housings including:
• a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end is open, the proximal end includes a face, and the face has an opening configured to receive a key;
• a cylindrical chamber extending proximally from the distal end and sized and configured to receive the body of the corresponding shell format;
• and
• a channel extending proximally from the distal end and sized and configured to receive the tower base of the corresponding shell format;
• a mounting block including a plurality of sections, wherein each section includes a cavity, and each of the housings is operable to be releasably coupled to each of the sections with the chamber in communication with the cavity;
• and
• a plurality of follower bars, wherein each of the follower bars extends proximally into one of the cavities, each of the follower bars is configured for use with a corresponding one of the plurality of plug formats, each of the follower bars including:
• a follower surface having curvature corresponding to curved outer surface of the corresponding plug format;
• and
• an end portion configured to engage the back end of the corresponding plug format;
• and
• wherein, with the end portion engaged with the back end of the corresponding plug format, at least a portion of the curved outer surface is substantially flush with the follower surface.

An assembly, comprising:

• a plurality of housings, including:
• a first housing including a first housing attachment feature, a first cylindrical chamber extending proximally from a distal end of the first housing, a first housing channel extending proximally from the distal end of the first housing, and a first partial circumferential opening connected with the first channel, the first partial circumferential opening having a first axial length;
• a second housing including a second housing attachment feature, a second cylindrical chamber extending proximally from a distal end of the second housing, a second housing channel extending proximally from the distal end of the second housing, and a second partial circumferential opening connected with the second channel, the second partial circumferential opening having a second axial length different from the first axial length;
• a mounting block comprising a plurality of sections, including:
• a first section including a first mounting block attachment feature, a first cavity extending distally from a proximal end of the first section, a first section channel extending distally from the proximal end of the first section, and a first follower bar extending proximally into the first cavity, wherein the first follower bar includes a first end portion having a first geometry;
• a second section including a second mounting block attachment feature, a second cavity extending distally from a proximal end of the second section, a second section channel extending distally from the proximal end of the second section, and a second follower bar extending proximally into the second cavity, wherein the second follower bar includes a second end portion having a second geometry different from the first geometry;
• wherein each of the cavities is sized and configured to receive the distal end of each of the housings;
• wherein each of the housing attachment features is configured to engage each of the mounting block attachment features to releasably couple the housings to the mounting block at each of the sections;
• wherein, with one of the housings releasably coupled with the mounting block at one of the sections, the channel of the one of the housings is aligned with the channel of the one of the sections;
• wherein the first axial length corresponds to an axial length of a tower of a first lock shell format, and the second axial length corresponds to an axial length of a tower of a second lock shell format;
• and
• wherein the first geometry is configured to flushly engage a back end of a first lock plug format, and the second geometry is configured to flushly engage a back end of a second lock plug format.
