Trying to identify a type of lock

[alastair16]

Hi, I am new to lock picking and I am struggling to figure out what type of lock I have here. When I insert my pick I can feel the pins along the top of the lock but I can also feel what seems to be pins along the bottom as well.

The pins on the top feel like pins normally do, there are 7 of them, however the pins along the bottom of the lock feel bigger and I think there are 4 of them.

I managed to get the lock open by inserting my tension wrench in the middle of the lock and picking the top and then the bottom. But I had to switch from the top to the bottom several times before I got it to open, so being new to this I am not really sure if the pins on the bottom had any actual effect on me finally getting the lock open.

So I was hoping that someone might be able to enlighten me to what type of lock it might be. It's a UK lock btw, on a locker.

Thanks
