A plug follower is an essential tool that lockpickers use during the disassembly (gutting) of locks. It ensures that internal components (pins and springs) stay in place while removing the cylinder core.
With a plug follower, you prevent pins and springs from shooting out or getting lost. It makes disassembling locks easier by keeping your workspace organized. The follower prevents your pins from turning into mini-rockets.
Plug followers are crucial for anyone who regularly disassembles a cylinder lock or padlock. See below how the plug follower works.
The most common size plug follower has a diameter of about 12 mm. Make sure the follower fits your type of lock, such as Euro cylinders or padlocks. Preferably choose multiple types of followers so you can disassemble more than one type of lock.
Absolutely! You can easily make a plug follower from, for example, a PTFE rod (glue gun), wooden dowel, or even old parts like tubes or pens. This is a budget-friendly option for beginners or as a temporary solution.

Choose a longer variant or use an extension for extra comfort.
Where should I keep my tools?
Use a handy tool case or lockpick case to keep everything organized.
