Do you mean a master pin?

by **samfishers** » 27 Apr 2007 13:23

no, no, guys i mean like a little piece of metal between the pin and the driver pin, like a slice of a pin, you get it?

i was wondering if that was like a false breaking point?

Master pins are used in pin tumbler locks. The "slices" of pins you are talking about are master pins. Master pins are used to master key a lock. What that means is that you can use keys with different biting to open the lock. Master pins also make the lock easier to pick because a master keyed lock has multiple shearlines.

MASTER PIN.... MASTER PIN... MASTER PIN

Sorry, but either I'm drunk or you have some issues with your english

I had to literally read that one with a thought. No offence, just wondering

And as has been told, the little thing you've encountered is a master pin. Reminds those little button cell batteries in wrist watches, except much smaller.

ox thax all for that and sorry UWSDF because i thought master pin were like security pins :oops:

.

and ok i have also a little ball in side the lock what does tha means? is it still like for a master key?

by **UWSDWF** » 27 Apr 2007 17:59

thats for contractor keying or anti-drill it depends where you found it

by **Schuyler** » 27 Apr 2007 18:18

I'd put 90% that it's anti-drill / anti-wear. The construction keyed locks I have are extraordinarily small balls, and many of them.

by **Chucklz** » 27 Apr 2007 21:09

Corbin, Russwin, Corbin/Russwin, and Sargent locks often have a ball as the bottom pin in the first chamber of the lock. This is an antiwear measure, as the first pin in the lock gets the most abuse in inserting/removing a key.
