So here is a quandary for the smarties out there:
If you have an LFIC lock of the type that has a small pin in the back of the keyhole that must be pushed up to rotate the control knob in. This can only be done if the pin lines up with the top hole. If you pick the first six pins and rotate the plug, you can't push this rear pin up and rotate the control knob in. So how do you pick this lock?
I am thinking about making a bumpkey out of a control key first. Bumpkeys seem inelegant though.
The other option I see is having some sort of wire going back through the bottom of the keyway to push the rear control knob pin up, or cutting away most of the material of a control key to leave a lot of room to pick the lock while still having the end of the control key holding up the control knob's pin. Thoughts? Hoping I don't have to charge customers who lost their control key for new cylinders as a result of the expected breakthrough of picking these locks to control.
