Schlage Cutaway -Spool Pins - LH

Designed for left-handed locksmith students, this 5 pinned Schlage cutaway cylinder features pick resistant spool driver pins instead of standard pins. This provides a greater lock picking challenge for those wishing to improve their skills. Many Schlage, Kwikset and Yale deadbolts made these days and sold at the larger hardware stores use these more advanced spool drivers for better security. As more of these types of locks are entering the marketplace and are being used in commercial and residential settings, it is crucial for all locksmiths to understand how they work and be able to pick them efficiently in emergency situations.

Please note that these special cutaway cylinders do not include a horizontal slot to expose the shear line, as this would cause the pins to hang up more frequently, which would not happen to this degree out in the field.
