Has anyone ever used these locking pins?

[theparsons]

I would like to wear some of my pins on my lanyard while at WDW. When we were in Disneyland we lost two pins because they fell off, and I don't want that happening again. So I found these at ebay but before I buy them I wanted to know if anyone else has used them and if they work. Thanks!

Just in case the ebay link doesn't work, it's so long....the seller's ID is disneypatriot and he only has locking pins for sale, just in different size packages.

Really appreciate others sharing their experience!

hi jan...i looked at the ebay link , never seen those types of locks b4 but this past yr i was wearing my landyard with pins out it and mine kept falling off too. thank god i didnt loose any but in the gift shop at my resort and thru out the parks and down town disney i saw the locks they offered and i bought them and they work like a charm just be sure to have a cast memeber show u how to put them on. they are gold in color and are smaller and thinner than the one on the ebay link.
well i hope this helps u out

I've never seen backs like those before. The locking backs we bought in the parks are the ones that you have to use the little tool to put them on and take them off. I think they are $10 per bag and there are 10 backs in each package, so those on eBay are much cheaper. If you decide to try them let us know how they work!

I have bought those pin backs from that seller several times and love them. I have never lost a pin on my lanyard with those pin backs. They work great. Plus the backs are smooth so the lanyard lays smoother.

Thanks everyone!

I've seen the ones at the parks, but they seemed so expensive and these seemed a real bargain. So....I'm gonna go for it....I'll report back how they work after I get and use them.

Thanks!
