Can you identify these driver pins?

[Squelchtone]

Can anyone identify these driver pins? They are spools without the wider portion on top. If you have seen these, what locks did they come from? They seem to bind differently and don't provide any feedback.



thanks for any input!

Two versions I am somewhat familiar with. The first one is passive pins from a decent lock dimple-type lock. Have a LIPS lock with those. Also have seen similar ones where he narrow post in those driver pins are made to fit inside the driver spring.

They came out of a generic pin tumbler key in knob. The no feedback thing really threw me for a loop.

[GWiens2001]

So they are the kind where they fit inside the end of the spring.

Yeah, they do fit in the spring. I wonder why they aren't used more often, they achieve the same purpose as spools but provide almost no feedback. They make for a tricky pick.

These are from the schlage KIK cylinder with the collapsible bible aren't they?

These are T-pins for Schlage F series.

Thank you! Exactly the info I was looking for!

I know this is an old thread but came across some interesting information on T pins today.

Found it relatively hard to find information on these and came across this along with the effect of installing them upside down making for some interesting sinister locks.

I don't think they were ever intended as an anti-bump measure per the article. It was just a way of reducing bible height and along with the collapsible cap allowed some pretty interesting design options for Schlage. I certainly find them very easy to pick.

I bookmarked that lock lab page. Ill come back to that later for sure.

The thing that bugs me about these pins is that they do not accept the regular variety of springs, which taper at the ends. These take their own springs that have a uniform diameter throughout, and I never have a spare one handy when one goes flying
