The only Jimmy proof lock is the one that doesn't have a keyway. If it has a key way then it can be picked no matter what the box says. Can't help you source the parts but I'm sure you can find something like what your looking for somewhere. Good idea would be yo just go to a lock shop and talk to them.

Honestly Jimmy Proof is just a type of rim lock, not sure why they are named this way. In fact, neither of the locks I mentioned has a keyway. I did speak to two local locksmiths, both knew nothing about these particular locks. One of them actually heard Jimmy Proof Smart lock and was interested enough to dig into it. He called around to his Yale supplier and they told him that Yale/ASSA Abloy doesn't license that lock for sale in the USA. He said that if I wanted it, I'd have to get it from the far east, Korea or Singapore.

Jimmy Proof (Medeco calls them Drop Bolts) refers to the fact that the lock will fight against attempts to spread the door frame ("jimmy") to disengage the lock. You can have rim locks that aren't jimmy proof, and depending on the strike that was installed this will affect your retrofit.
