Original smooth pin lock

Bryan King

Dear list members:
What was the name and manufacturer of the original smooth pin lock system.  I have a TT patient with an old socket with this lock but, it looks to me like they are no longer made.  The lock looks similar to a Fillauer plastic lock that is approximately 1 1/2″ diameter, and it appears to screw in to the distal aspect of the socket like a Fillauer lock.  I believe this lock and pin system originally came out around 20-25 years ago.  Maybe just called “The Pin” ???This will likely become a replacement socket over repair, but I was just curious on the name of that system, if it is still made, and/or if parts are still available.Thanks!Bryan King, CPO,LPOJAS
