Well im hopefully getting a kaba chrome plated padlock on Monday and I was wondering, what’s the deal with picking it..

The pins, I though were meant to be like this: _ | _ under scores are the side pins the line is the top, bit its more of a v7 style \ | / the pins go in on a 45 degree angle, is this how they all are, any help will be great

the \ /'s are the actual pins and the _'s are these tiny little bits of etal poking out, I am thinking on the lines of...

the little metal things need to be pushed in in order for the lock to open am I correct in thinking this just an Idea but I cant see any other perpose of them, unless of course there pins, but there too thin to be pins..well thats what i think
