Thanks, Lamar! that is very instructive.
You're welcome.
I was always unimpressed with persistence of attempts to make more secure (less pickable) cylinder cased locks (precision, multi-level, pins at a weird locations/angles).
The best way to make an unpickable lock is to make the tolerances of the pins and the cylinder bore as tight as possible, since picking relies on part tolerances to work. But several sidebar designs are out there that are pretty hard to pick, including Schlage Primus, the various Medeco styles, and others, such as the Kaba dimple locks used on Cisco Metro 1500 DWDM gear for power switches (the lasers are powerful enough to permanently damage your eyes in short order in those).
<snip> Whenever I get a CAT scan, I point out to the techs that half the warning label is missing: all I see is "Do not start into laser", and not the rest that reads "with remaining eye".
Don't mind me: I just spent *far* too long doing my "mid-year performance checkin" for my employer, in Workday (the sooner that dies, the better), and it was designed by idiots, and is not suitable for what 90% of the company does.... And I'm *really* aggravated.
