Im not familier with it and theres nothing in the search's,

Im guessing it could be a knockoff which may not have any security pins in it,

Did you buy it with packageing? what did it say about the pins or security of it?

THey are pure trash. A couple of spools but just overall trash and not worth the price even at $0.99 each.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

dont be self defeating

dont be self defeating, this may be your breakthrough on those spool pins. If you let the lock psych you out, its harder to pick 8)

A light touch with the tension wrench and the use of a slimline pick will probably help you get it open.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
