You need to search for

Spool pins

Mushroom pins

Serated pins

Security pins

The site is full of them,

Basically pick the lock as normal, be careful and you will be ok, you can tell if youve falsely set a spool pin as the plug will turn back slightly when you continue to put picking pressure on the pin, if this is the case you need to relax the tensio and push the pin up a bit more,

The other way that i always suggest as being easier to begineers is to work out which are the spool pins by the above method then reset the lock and re-pick, when it comes to setting the spool pins you overlift them, that is you lift them above the shearline, then you slowly by varying the tension let the bottom pin drop back down to the shear line,

As i say just search again and read what you find theres loads that come up, use 'and' inbetween words to search for an exact phrase,

No question is stupid if you dont know the answer.

I heard somebody once say: "It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt," :P
