Unusually shaped driver pins

Postby Gavin Melville » 23 Jul 2014 7:57

I have obtained few good quality key in handle locks and they are really hard to pick. 6 pins, master system, but the problem is the driver pins are tapered at each end. Doesn't seem a lot, but it's enough that they drop back down after being set. The locks have very tight tolerances.

And yes,they are sneaky. :)
