HELP - pin back lock stuck

[nemo558]

I acquired some older pins that have pin back locks. I thought all Disney pin back locks are the same.... they aren't . The old one has smaller hole then the newer one.

Any help/suggestion on how to un-tighten those old pin locks is greatly appreciated!!:roll:

take them to a jeweler and see if they have the tools to remove them?

Or maybe a watch repair shop or pawn shop. Just be friendly and maybe they won't charge you too much!

Hi all, I am reporting back a solution.

H1.3mm was able to un-tight the older Disney pin locks )

Where would I get a H1.3mm? Or did you go to someone? I have one I can't get unlocked too. Thanks!

You could find them on Amazon or radio shack store. I found mine in Radio Shack. You could buy a h1.3mm by itself or found it as part of precision tool set. H stands for hex.

We have the 1.3mm Allen wrench for pin keepers that may be useful for you.
