Take a piece of stainles steel wire with a diameter of 0.8 to 1 mm thick and a lenght of 10 cm. Take this piece of wire in a pair of roundnosed pliers, at aproximately 2 to 3 cm from the end. Take the wire in your left hand, so that the long end goes trough your hand. Turn the pliers away from you and while you hold the wire firmly, turn the wire untill the pliers bounce.



Bend the end of the wire across the shaft of the lock. Now you have a nice long piece of wire sticking out. Take a pair of combination-pliers and put the end in the pliers over a length of 3 to 4 mm and turn it over in a single bend. The existing hook is again taken with a combination-pliers and then turned towards the axis of the crosslock.






Then you take the long part in a pair of roundnosedpliers and bend it all around. The position of the eye opposed to the other eye should be in one line.
