Locks typically have either pins or wafers.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Pins:<i> </i>I will insert the key and play around with the pins until I find those that come flush with the rotating tumbler. Sometimes pins can be doubled up to meet that height. Other times I have filed pins to meet that height. Generally there are also non-rotating, opposing pins in the housing. Any tumbler pin that doesn't come flush I leave it and its opposing pin out. While this lessens the strength of the lock to rotation it still offers a degree of a locking effect (better than nothing).<o:p></o:p></p><p>Wafers: I find them easier. I will juggle them around so that with the key inserted there is the least degree of wafer height outside the tumbler. Then whatever remains outside the tumbler circumference I file off. Again, this lessens the strength of the lock to rotation but still offers a degree of a locking effect.<o:p></o:p></p><p>So, if all else fails.., this is at least a functional option and given that historically locking was not a primary consideration you would gain something even if not full strength. The free spinning lock seems like it has no pins or wafers. The key that jams I'm not sure if you mean on insertion, or once inserted it wouldn't rotate. That could be corrosion/dirt or just the wrong key for the pin/wafer configuration.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
