- backing rack 162 can remain stationary and plug body 142 can move axially (i.e., along, and/or parallel to, a longitudinal axis of cylinder body 122, in either direction (i.e., either inward or outward) with respect to backing rack 162, as system 100 enters the learn mode.
- both backing rack 162 and plug body 142 can move axially, yet move relative to each other axially as well.
- pin restrainers 165 of backing rack assembly 160 can be disposed to allow relative movement of upper plug pin portion 182 with respect to lower plug pin portion 184 along direction B-B, thus allowing a change in length L of plug pin assembly 180.
- each lower plug pin portion 184 can ride up and down the ramps of the key (see FIG. 7). Once the key is completely removed, each lower plug pin portion 184 can be constrained by features (not shown) within the plug body.
- each plug pin assembly 180 can be compressed to the correct length for the new key to operate plug assembly 140 within cylinder assembly 120 (i.e., the lockset).
- ramp contact surface 168 rides down the backing rack ramp 126 causing the plug pin retainer 166 to relocate into a plug pin restraining position.
- the teeth of each plug pin assembly 180 are engaged and/or meshed, and the length of each plug pin assembly 180 is fixed.
- any movable stop (not shown) that was actuated can return to its neutral pos on, thereby resisting a rotation of plug assembly 140 toward the learn pos on.

- Cylinder assembly 120 can comprise a cylinder body 120, a cylinder inner surface 124 that can contain plug assembly 140 (shown in FIG. 1 ).
- Coupled to cylinder cap 125 can be a backing rack ramp 126 that can serve to relocate backing rack assembly 160 and/or backing rack 162 (shown in FIGS. 1 , 4, 5).
- FIG. 7 is a side view of an exemplary embodiment of a key 110 and plug pin assembly 180 of the present invention. Adjustable length plug pin assembly 180 can cooperate with flats 112 of key 110, which can be separated by key ramps 114.
- FIG. 8 is a side view of an exemplary embodiment of an alternative plug pin assembly of the present invention.
- Alternative adjustable length plug pin assembly 280 can include an upper plug pin portion 282, an upper plug pin cap 283, a lower plug pin portion 284, and a lower plug pin cap 285.
- Alternative plug pin assembly 280 can also include a plug pin spring 286 disposed around upper plug pin portion 282 and lower plug pin portion 284, and bearing against upper plug pin cap 283 and lower plug pin cap 285.
- FIG. 9 is a flowchart of an exemplary embodiment of a method 200 of the present invention.
- a valid key is inserted into the plug assembly, thereby relocating plug pins and cylinder pins to establish and/or align with a shear line, and thereby allow rotation of the plug assembly within the cylinder assembly.
- torsion is applied to the key to rotate the plug assembly within the cylinder body from a locked position to an unlocked position and/or to a rekeying position.
- the unlocked position can occur at any orientation with respect to the locked position, such as from approximately 10 degrees to approximately 250 degrees, including each number therebetween, such as approximately 30.05, 62, 90, 118.7, 150.03, 180, and/or 224 degrees, etc.
- the rekeying position can occur at any orientation with respect to the first locked position, such as from approximately 10 degrees to approximately 250 degrees, including each number therebetween, such as approximately 30.05, 62, 90, 118.7, 150.03, 180, and/or 224 degrees, etc.
- the backing rack ramp of the cylinder assembly can contact the ramp contact surface of the backing rack. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, this contact can cause the backing rack to move longitudinally, so that the plug pin retainers lose contact with the plug pins. Referring to FIG. 2, this loss of contact between the plug pin retainers and the plug pins can allow one or more plug pin springs to bias its respective upper plug pin portion and lower plug pin portion apart, along axis C-C and/or in direction B-B. Thus, the teeth of at least one upper plug pin portion can become disengaged from the corresponding teeth of the lower plug pin portion sufficiently to allow the plug pin assembly to lengthen along axis C-C.
- a new key having a different cut pattern can be inserted into the keyway of the plug assembly, thereby, at activity 350, changing the length of at least one adjustable length plug pin assembly.
- the plug assembly can be rotated in reverse away from the rekeying position (learn mode). By doing so, the ramp contact surface of the backing rack can ride down the backing rack ramp of the cylinder assembly until eventually the ramp contact surface in contact with the cylinder cap. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, this loss of contact between the ramp contact surface of the backing rack can cause the backing rack to move longitudinally, so that the plug pin retainers again make contact with the plug pins. Referring to FIG. 2, this restoration of contact between the plug pin retainers and the plug pins can cause the plug pin portions to compress the plug pin spring and/or to move together along axis C-C and/or in direction B-B.
- the teeth of at least one upper plug pin portion can become engaged with the corresponding teeth of the lower plug pin portion sufficiently to fix and/or resist change of a length of plug pin assembly as measured along axis C-C, thus learning the pattern of the new key such that the new key is required to operate the plug assembly within the cylinder assembly.
- the plug assembly can continue to be rotated until it in either the lock or unlock position. Note that the lock system can be rekeyed without removing the plug clip or removing the plug body from the cylinder body. Note also that because there is no need to remove the plug assembly from the cylinder assembly, no plug follower is required for rekeying. Note also that no specialized tools are necessarily required for rekeying.
- embodiments of the present invention can provide a method for rapidly rekeying a lock cylinder without the need for a plug follower or for removing the plug assembly from the cylinder assembly.
- the rekeyer is not required to remove a cylinder chimney cover, cylinder pin springs, or cylinder pins.
