Today we are going to look at how a key works in regard to its bitting and the way it matches up with the key pins. This is a topic which many people may have not though of before, but I hope this video will help bring some more clarity.
A few terms:
Key bitting: This is the “ups and downs” or “teeth” of the key which lifts the key pins to the correct height.
Key pins (bottom pins): These are small pins which match up the key bitting to open the lock
Driver pins (top pins): These are pins which push into the plug to keep the lock secure
Plug: Area where the key pins are
Bible: Area where the driver pins originate

![[206] How To Defeat Overset Pins: Prevent, Identify, and Fix Overset Pins (Learn Lock Picking)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NkXFGATJysY/mqdefault.jpg)
Lots of lock videos out there but the more voices and information out there the better. I appreciate your contributions and enjoy your slower presentation and more laid back personality than some of the other youtube lock channels.
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad you feel the video will be helpful :)
I like how you lay the pins over the key. It makes the bitting much easier to understand. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad it helps
Before I started lock picking as a hobby I always thought the key pins rode on the POINTS of the key, which never made sense to me because when the key wore down from friction either in the lock or with other keys in a pocket over time etc, the keys still worked! My Mom's car key was almost smooth and still worked!
This video very clearly shows how it's the valleys between the points that matter, and not the points themselves!
Very nice.
Thanks for checking it out! One thing which I could have done better was used a lock like a Schlage where it showed the key pins are pointed on one side and flat on the other. Kwikset is cheap and makes both sides flat.
I thought the same.
I've been watching Lock Sport and lock picking videos for 3 days now. While I understand the basic principles, I had to search on "understanding key bitting" to find several videos to ascertain whether the point or the flats of the keys were used. My next question is what stops the key pins from falling out into the keyway? That part isn't clear to me yet. I do understand key pins, driver pins, master wafers, control and operational keys, security pins (serrated, spool, T), even how a medico lock works with side bar and pin rotation. Still haven't looked at internals of wafer or tubular locks, and I think ward locks are pretty basic but haven't verified this yet.
Anyway, thank you for the videos. This is going to be my newest hobby! I could even see being a lock smith under different circumstances; this is interesting!
Showing the use of your plug follower and explaining why it is needed I think helps understand what is going on inside the lock. And also helps someone new know to use a follower and not have lock bits flying all over.
Thanks for sharing your feedback!
What a great way to show how a key works my friend. 👍🔑
Thank you for the kind words!
I hate how every video is just “breaking in” or lock picking, I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO USE THE DAMN KEY
did you find one bc i’m having this exact problem 😭😭
Nice way to demonstrate how the pins work :)
Thank you for the kind words!
3/86 videos done! loving the series
Thank you for your kind words
Excellent teaching procedure
Thanks for checking it out
Great demonstration. I was always confused as to whether or not the key pins sat on the highest points of the key, on the little ledges in the valleys of the key. This cleared it up perfectly.
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad this was able to clear this up for you :)
Thank you

Very Nice video My friend, deffenetly going to help some New People out
Thanks!
Like you description
Thanks for reading it
Sometimes it's good to demo it this way. It takes away the core and the bible so you can simply concentrate on the key and the pins. People should do more videos like this to explain how things work.
As an example, people talk about Lockwood key pins having a tiny taper on the top which causes it to easily overet. A demo like this one would be a great way to explain it.
Thank you for sharing and I am happy you feel it could add value to someone learning :)
Why aren't the pins falling down on their own in that cylinder? I never seen a cylinder where the pins need to pushed down like that. Does the lock it goes to just need strong springs?
The pins are rubbing against the tight plug so they don't always just drop. Also, it was both hot and humid when I filmed this.
This is in part the job of the driver pins over spring pressure to do this.
@@HelpfulLockPicker that makes sense thank you for explaining
