This is a large cut-away display of the
"Pin-Tumbler" system, featuring
spring-loaded "tumblers" pushing against
the "pins" which interact with the key. With
the correct key, a "shear-line" is created
allowing the cylinder plug to turn. If just one
of the pins is too high or low, it won't turn
and the key will break if forced. Many
different key "combinations" are created by
using different pin length combinations.
Locksmiths often change the pins, creating
a different "combination" thus "changing the
locks" Master-Key systems are created by
introducing "split-pins" into the "stacks" and
must be done very carefully.
Pin-Tumbler was patented by Linus Yale Jr.
in the mid 1800's and still serves us today
and well into the future. I took this picture at
the Smithsonian Institute in 1986.

DUPLICATE KEYS: Extra keys are usually
made on the job. It's usually not economical
for me to go back just to make a few
copies, I would have to charge the regular
trip-charge plus the keys. For most
common keys, I recommend getting them
duplicated at Santa Fe Lock & Key, AB1
Locksmith Service or Territorial Safe and
Lock. Some restricted keys are only
available from us, those keys are delivered
to the user at their regular prices, no trip
charge. MEDECO keys are ordered with
the card that came with the keys at any
MEDECO dealer.

Just found a great source for the worlds greatest
locks, ABLOY. SecuritySnobs.com carries more
stuff than I could ever stock at prices I could
never touch. I intend to have a few basic
cylinders, deadbolts and padlocks in stock.
ABLOY has been my all-time favorite since I was
ten years old and noticed a very different kind of
padlock on vending machines in the late 70's.
They also carry BiLock, which I have no personal
experience with. This is an extremely
pick-resistant lock from Australia. The tiny
mechanism is adaptable to nearly any
configuration and has a control-key-removal
feature.
There are some really poor knock-off's of the
ABLOY rotating-disc system, don't get fleeced
with a piece of junk!
