How do key pins work on a tubular lock?

The design of a tubular lock is similar to the pin tumbler lock, in that there are several stacks of pins. The key is a cylinder shape with notches cut around the outer or (rarely) inner edge. Each of these notches depresses a single pin inside the lock to a specific height allowing the lock cylinder to turn freely.


Are all tubular lock keys the same?

Just like regular keys, tubular keys are distinct, so you need the model and identification number from the machine when you contact the manufacturer.
