Title: How do you remove the key knock-out plugs?
Post by: got2haul on August 13, 2011, 08:04:32 pm

I installed a new original key cylinder with keys.  The keys have the knock-out
plugs and I'd like to remove them.  How is this done without damaging the key?

Block of wood under the key and use a hammer and a flat screwdriver may work..

Place the knock out over the vise opening and punch it out with a hammer, and punch.

Flat screw driver and give it whack. If you have a vice, open the jaws slightly and pop it through
