Just got a cheap Ebay euro lock by Glostal. Not seen any breakdown photos or info on the site so i'll post some. Its loaded with spools and has strong springs. :D . Not bad for a cheapo lock although it looks very vulnerable to snapping.

They use similar pins in a GeGe cylinder I have, and also the Yale X5. :)

They add a nice element of 'fun' into picking. Fun in this case more acurately described as pulling your hair out and screaming. :P
