Looks like at least one of your top pins got mixed up--long top pins generally go with short bottom pins

Congratulations! One thing is to pick a cylinder, another one is to pick it inside a door or a padlock!

If you're looking to get a key for your lock, your best bet would be to find a new core with keys on ebay. Or get one from a locksmith that sells medeco locks.
Getting a blank that fits your keyway would be very very difficult.

Cheers :)

Refer to Billdeserthills' comment above about pin lengths.

Just when you finally think you have learned it all, that is when you learn that you don't know anything yet.
