Where can I find locking pin backs?

[Anal Annie]

DS started his pin collection at DL in '05 & we were just at WDW in August and he really started getting into collecting pins - not so much to trade really tho. He mostly just wants to collect right now I think. Anyway, we don't trust the black plastic Mickey backs that come on the pins so we didn't want him walking around with his lanyard on, afraid he'd lose one. We'd bought some locking backs at DL before and we looked EVERYWHERE in WDW for some more of them and every single store was sold out (even the big one in DTD)! Is that common that you can't find them at WDW or can someone tell me where I can find them to purchase online? We're going back down in January & I thought they'd be a good stocking stuffer for him at Xmas...then he could wear his lanyard. (Oh and we can't find that little allen wrench tool thing we had before either - so the ones we DO have them on are STUCK!)
Thanks!

1st any hardware store will have the allen key to work with the others just have to match up the size.Take one in and they will help you with it.

best place to buy bulk if you can't get them at Disney is E-Bay.

Motorcycle ( Harley) shops will be able to get them for you as well.They need them to keep their pins on for riding. If you have a motorcycle show in the area they will have them as well.

here's an E-bay link real quick.

Oh and DD perfers a Pin bag to the lanyards and I think they are safer. For the boys a Waist pak pin bag or even a CD case works well.
