Funny how many other videos I have watched never go into the detail of the two pins, and leave you guessing. Thanks!

  • @ijheller
    @ijheller 3 роки тому +121

    The additional shafts with master pins actually compromise the security of the lock.
    For instance, if there are 3 shafts with master pins, this means that there are 8 possible keys that can open the lock, instead of just 2 keys with the single shaft containing the master pin.

      You are correct in this assessment. The security of a lock with any level of master keying is lessoned by the addition of the master pins.

    Fun facts about locks: most locks have 5 different shafts in the lock. Some have 6.
    Different manufacturers have different numbers of pins. Ie Taymor and schlage have pins 0 to 9. Where as some of the weiser locks use 0 to 6.
    if you look on the side of your keys you can sometimes see a 5 or 6 digit number. Its the number that corresponds to the pins in your lock. different numbers are different sizes of pins. 0 being the smallest and 9 being the biggest.
    Thats all for now. Maybe ill think of more that i have seen and put them in another video.

    The Yale key, other than pushing the pins in the lock to the right height, also has a concave ridge on its sides. As matter of fact, any wrong key can enter the cylinder and not turn, or will not enter at all. That is caused by the ridge, and double the number of combinations for a given set of pins

    So when a master key exists in a building, all the locks are identical except for one small part of them. So anyone can enter any door as long as they make a slight alteration to their already existing key, which they can compare to the keys of other apartments in the same building and find which parts are the same and which part is different.

    • @weltlos
      @weltlos 5 років тому +9

      Yep, you're right. I think to get a useful master key system you need to create a completely new shear line by adding a master pin to every existing driver. These master pins have of course different sizes in every lock because they add up with the already unique key pin sizes while the shear line stays the same.
