<center>Inside a lock is made of the following: 10 springs (under much tension), 10 bottom pins and 10 top pins. On each side of the lock there would be five pins (some locks have more than five pins on each side.)</center> | <center>Inside a lock is made of the following: 10 springs (under much tension), 10 bottom pins and 10 top pins.

<center>Here is a view of the bottom pin. The bottom pin varies in length like the top pin, however, the bottom pin have more variations in form than the top pin. This pin is what we call a <i>spool</i> pin. These variations make lockpicking more difficult rather than the pin just having a straight form since these pins get stuck in the lock much easier than pins just with a straight form.</center> | <center>Here is a view of the bottom pin.
