As far as impressioning, top pins are irrelevant, the sidebar will bind the bottom pins. In theory the false notches should bind when the sidebar has been set in all false and real notches.
Whereas I agree with your thinking here....unfortunately, the false gates in the pins will bind the sidebar fingers and cause no further movement in the rotation of the plug. But, if there were only master pins in most of the chambers, it is likely that picking could occur because there will be no false gates.
Standard impressioning techniques will not work here either because there can be no marks produced for each individual cut...due to there being no inline shear line.
Aside from the fact that ther sidebar blocking pin and patent protected blanks together with the patented trigger, makes it almost impossible to produce a suitable blank with which to work.
Bilock is theoretically possible to pick....unfortunately nobody has successfully proved they can...to date. There are a few people even in this forum who think they have the answer...but for some reason are unable to produce the facts or results.
I have worked with the product for over 20 years and know it to be much harder than people allude to.
so we are building a better one
