Dual-Action Chisel Pinning

Advanced high-security cylinders utilize pins that must not only be lifted to the correct height, but also rotated to exact angular positions (typically 20° left, center, or 20° right).

Side-Bar Verification

  • Chisel-Tipped Pins: Bottom pins feature angled chisel tips matching angled cuts on the key blade.
  • Side Slot Alignment: Aligned slots release a solid steel side-bar, enabling core rotation.
