I've always wondered...

I've always wondered why they don't make locks in the US with like 20 (or more) pins with a super long cylinder b/c it would make it suuuuuuuuuper hard to pick.

Heh, maybe I shoud send an e-mail to brinks to custom order one!

Because you'd have a key the size of a rifle in your pocket.

Re: I've always wondered...

it would have sloppy tolerances. and production would cost too much. materials would cost too much.

Re: I've always wondered...

also, it would be too big to mount on a door. unless it is the door at the white house leading into the oval office... that thing is a foot thick, but for normal doors, it would be too long.

Re: I've always wondered...

Well, when my design for a new lock/cylinder is developed, you will be surprised at the amount of pins I can fit in those babies. :P

I've been working on some designs using standard pin tumbler locks and such. Though, I have a feeling that one thing I will regret is that the only thing I can think to do is add more pins. But it's sad because quantity is not quality. So I hope my design does more then just cause a headache when it breaks. :P

Now, if only I could figure out how to 3D model...

Re: I've always wondered...

speaking of new lock development, i think that i might be able to make a new type molded after tube cylinders and dimple locks. but it probably wouldn't work. who knows...maybe it will be a good shot. i mean, medeco and bilock didn't fail.

The more pins more security idea isn't a new one. Alpha gaming machine locks have 17 pins, and Kaba cam locks have 16. Instead of all in a row they just use mutiple rows.

that's how the bilock works. 12 pins but in 2 rows.

I've never seen one, so it didn't come to mind. I didn't read your post to the end either, or maybe I wouldn't have been so quick to suggest the others. Oops. :mrgreen:

Re: I've always wondered...

I can't view YouTube vid's, so I have never really seen any pick vids. I am just assuming this one isn't of those since I read the specs on the site and it is a double side bar locking mech. I'll have to find more sources... thanks for the heads up.
