I'm sorry, but what is good enough for you?
When you click on it for full size, it's fairly darn good to my eyes. Are you expecting a 2560 x 1920 of each and every core?

I think it's a solid challenge, and point well made, however, WOT, you'll admit that some keyways are simply so distinct and so common that after however long of picking/working on locks you'd be able to single them out?

Like Y1, you know? This lockwood keyway is pretty distinctive.

There are several keyways from Cisa and many Euro locks that could easily fool someone into thinking it's a Y1
