False Set Trapping Dynamics

When a lock picker lifts a spool driver pin under rotational torque, the narrowed waist slips into the shear line, rotating the plug into a false set angle ($3^\circ$ to $5^\circ$).

Mechanical Trap

In the false set position, the wide upper lip of the spool pin is physically wedged beneath the chamber wall lip. To clear it, the picker must force the plug backwards, dropping all other set pins.
