I-Core Drill Jigs

Small Format I-Core Drill Jig: $185.00

You asked for it - You got it!

Why does Peterson manufacture the most useful tools for security professionals? We ask the locksmiths what they need. And when you told us you needed an I-CORE drill jig that was easy to use, would NOT DAMAGE DOOR HARDWARE and would allow you to DECODE THE CYLINDER, that’s just what we made! Here it is: The small format I-CORE drill jig that beats them all! No control key? No Problem! Damaged Core? No Problem!  Made of  hardened tool steel, this fast and efficient instrument is ready to use the way YOU need it. Drill out the control shear line with surgical precision for those one-time removals. Or shear off the I-CORE locking lug from within the core profile on all brands of "Best Type" I-CORE cylinders, with no damage to door hardware. An untouched pin stack means that the core can be decoded for control and master keys. Think about all the door hardware and I-Core locks you can save. Turn a multi-drill job into a one-drill wonder with the Peterson I-Core Drill Jig. Packaged in a compact tube type case, the tool comes with complete instructions and our top quality drill bits and guides. You provide the drill and the key blank (or any key for that keyway) to complete your core-busting arsenal.

Spare Drill Bit Set: $20.00

Provided for you as a replacement set for the custom drill bits found in our I-Core Drill Jig (IC-DJ), Peterson’s high speed drill bits work wherever precision drilling is needed. Our Drill Bit Set contains 1 Large Drill Bit, 1 Small Drill Bit and 1 Alignment Pin. Don’t be caught without a spare!

Corbin/Russwin Removable Core Drill Jig: $175.00

Work with Large Format I-Cores? Peterson has expanded our technology that allows damage free (to the lock) removal of small format interchangeable cores (I-Cores). We now offer the same advantages for large format cores. You can now remove Corbin/Russwin large format cores without destroying the pin stack. This means the core can be decoded and control keys cut for the entire system. Remove damaged cores with ease and precision.

Sargent Removable Core Drill Jig: $170.00

Peterson now provides the means to remove Sargent large format cores without destroying the pin stack or the lock housing. This means the core can be decoded and control keys cut for the entire system while not sacrificing the housing. Remove damaged or vandalized cores with ease and precision.

I-CORE SLAM HAMMER Price: $55.00

Whether you use a Peterson I-Core Drill Jig or just need a slam hammer on other occasions, the Peterson Slam Hammer is designed to throw its weight where it counts the most. With its hefty weight and hardened one-half inch bolt, this sturdy tool is designed to give you the force you need, from a mild tap to a serious slam. The removable tip accepts drywall screws, giving you whatever depth and thread you need.

Peterson's I-Core Tension Tools

	Upon successful manipulation of the control pins by way of your standard picking instruments, the control lug can be moved clock wise the required 15 degrees to disengage the core. 1.  With it's teeth pointing downwards insert the tension tool fully into the keyway.
	2.  While gently "jiggling" the tension tool lightly rotate the tool clockwise until you can feel that the teeth have engaged with the holes in the sleeve in the bottom of the keyway. Insure that you hold the rear tail of the tool downwards in the keyway so that all of the teeth engage.  The tension tool will now point somewhere between 4 and 6 o'clock.

3.  Pick your lock as per normal. HINT: Some locksmiths find that the use of our Slender Gem (see below) or our Peterson Reach allows easier keyway access in narrow or Para centric keyways.

4.  When lock has been picked it is suggested that the locksmith use either their picking instrument or a stronger tension tool during I-Core disengagement to overcome the inherent friction encountered when turning a control lug.

5.  If your tension tool seems to catch during the turning process:  lightly lift it while continuing your turning operation with the second tool you are rotating the lug with.

Peterson's I-Core Tension Tools History:

When we began work on our original Stainless Steel turning tool with Mr. Lynk, we were only provided with a picture of Mr. Finch's tool. We moved forward with only a few I-Cores obtained for our design activity. Since our product came to market we have obtained an original"Gerry Finch Tool," and most of the rest of the small format cores. As accidents sometimes yield good results we now find that we designed around keyways that Mr. Finch's tools were not strongly successful with. In fairness our thin stainless tool does not work perfectly with all the keyways that Gerry Finch's tool worked so well on, and our new thicker "C" type won't go in all cylinders, but what a set the three make!.

Type A Tension Tool, Price $15.00:

Patterned after the original Gerry Finch tool, this is our thinnest I-Core Tension tool. Proven to work the best on A, C, DD, M, TR, Q, and R keyways.

Type B Tension Tool Price $15.00:

Patterned after the original Gerry Finch tool, this is our medium thickness I-Core Tension tool. Proven to work the best on D, B, E, F, G, H, K, and N keyways.

Type C Tension Tool, Price $15.00:

This is the thickest tool in Peterson’s line of 3 different sized I-Core tension tools. Ideal for wider keyways, such as the E style.

Interchangeable Core Set for picking to control sheer,  Price $49.00:

A great thing just got better! We have improved Peterson’s popular I-Core tool set with the addition of two extra tools. Our C tension tool will help with those wide-open keyways, such as the E keyway. Our Slender Reach pick proves effective on I-Core cylinders time after time. Already have the original set?  Have no fear! The two new parts are available individually.

Set contains A, B & C I-Core Tension tools plus Slender Gem and Slender Reach.

Slender Gem,  Price: $8.00

A natural companion for our Small Format I-Core Tension Tool, the Peterson “Slender GEM” pick is a small treasure. Our 0.015” stainless steel makes this jewel only 60% of the thickness of standard picking tools, and less than 75% of the thickness of other 0.022” thin tools. The slenderness of this precision pick means easier access for picking locks with narrow keyways or those Paracentric type profiles. Peterson’s special GEM tip makes for greater pin access.

Slender Peterson Reach,  Price: $8.00

Another natural companion for our Small Format I-Core Tension Tool, the Peterson “Slender Reach” puts successful picking within your grasp.  Made from our 0.015” stainless steel, its unique reaching ability allows you to penetrate deep into the I-Core lock.

Just Picks Stainless Slenders , Price: $34.00

Attack narrow keyways with our thin government steel picks. This set of Peterson’s 0.015” picks contains 5 of our 6 popular profiles. Save money while adding to your arsenal. You will be surprised how strong they are!
