Security Pins

There have been questions on security pins, so I thought I would post a few pictures.

This first picture is of a mushroom pin from a Medeco lock.

The next pins are a bottom pin and a driver from a Master lock.

I hope this gives an idea of what you are dealing with. I will try to post more pictures as I come across other types of pin.

And here is a 3D model I did at the weekend:

Left to right...1st is a spool pin. 2nd, a mushroom. 3rd, a serrated pin, and lastly...4th is a sleeved spool pin of unknown origin.

Nice work Mick

The last one looks pretty intimidating :evil:

Any chance we could animate those to show how they work?

*we- meaning not me, I wouldn't know where to start

I think I have a picture somewhere of what happens when you try to pick a spool pin. I will try to post it.

Basically though, as you are applying tension to the plug, the gap in the security pin gives a false movement making you think you have found the shear line for that chamber.

Compliments of the talented and deticated Mad Mick, a video witha visual explaination of what is going on inside the lock while you pick a spool pin:

Very nice Mick :shock:

I've been trying to visualize while picking spools- if a picture is worth a thousands words, well your animation is worth more

, thanks keep them comin.

Let's see here. Something like 28 frames per second. 5 seconds of video. 1000 words per picture... Mick, your work was worth... 140,000 words! Wow, and ppl say I talk a lot!

It's so hard to explain to people how a spool will cause the cylinder to rotate backwards as you lift it. In the video it is easy to see. Great job :!:

Was there supposed to be sound? I didn't hear anything. Meh, it really helps though, nice work on the video.

Hey Mick, any chance we can get more animations?

I think he deserves a Lp101 T-shirt for that one

I recorded myself saying "Click", but it sounded silly :oops:

(J/K).
OK, there's no sound, but it's not really needed anyway and would have just bloated the file size. Some of us are still on 56k...DSL pricing is still ridiculous in areas without healthy competition. :cry:

Plugging away at the weekends (pun intended :lol:

)

Thanks for the appreciation guys.

Hey mad mick, I was referred to this post from one of mine in Pick Fu. I noticed that you do some 3d animation, and that's just one of my hobbies that I partake in. Sorry for dragging up the old post, but I'm really curious as to how you got the spring to bend like that (I'm a superb amateur). Was it just keyframed?

I currently use Maya 6 for all of my 3d stuff, here's a little example

If you could message me on aim (minionqb), that'd be great. Then I could help with 3d models and such as well.
