Interesting find! The serrated pin looks ok to me. Even the two spools look normal to me. But I wonder why someone put those 3 smaller pins in that padlock. I see the diameter is a lot smaller than the others, so I guess they play a lot inside those big chambers. This could cause some troubles...
Cheers

It didn't feel particularly difficult, at least not compared to the first one, but you can probably chalk that up to my inexperience.
It's a little tough to see, but the weird serration spool is in the second photo all the way on the left.

Only time I've seen a 'weak' serrated driver like that has been in a couple of Masters (140, 141) I've killed.

They look exactly the same. I wonder if that's where it came from...

Was the top of the plug been filed or something too?

No. I wonder if it had more key pins in there for master keying, but someone took them out. For some really embarrassing shots of a gutted lock, check
this thread. That one also had one of those weird serrated pins in it.

The pin with the two serrations in it looks like a barrel pin to me, one of the least common security pins.

I had a pin similar to that weak serrated pin come out of my master 410 lo/to, only reason I disassembled it is because I accidentally rotated the plug 180 when I picked it, dumping the pins haha, being plastic it was easy to get apart and reassemble with some super glue

My bad I did not realize this thread was going on 3 years since it was active!
