[@Zimeatsgirswaffles]

I always wondered how master keys work! I never understood how multiple locks could require their own unique key, but still have one other key that works on all of them. Now I know. This kind of shit deserves a sub, well done sir

[@JaredOwen]

😎

[@ijheller]

The additional shafts with master pins actually compromise the security of the lock. For instance, if there are 3 shafts with master pins, this means that there are 8 possible keys that can open the lock, instead of just 2 keys with the single shaft containing the master pin.

[@ShivamTiwari-tt2gv]

Kach kuch 😆

[@securityman6666]

You are correct in this assessment. The security of a lock with any level of master keying is lessoned by the addition of the master pins.

[@nyri0]

@@securityman6666 But more master pins allow for finer tuning of access permissions, right? E.g someone has access to one room, someone to the whole floor, someone to the whole building.

[@possiblyzslot838]

@@nyri0 True, but if I'm a burglar I could probably show up with a bunch of random similar keys and there's a bigger chance I can break in. Didn't do the math of what those chances are but I guess the point is the same

[@possiblyzslot838]

@@nyri0 Also take into account some lazy key designs. You might've heard plenty of stories or had an experience yourself where a key works on a door that it shouldn't. That was the case with my school and it's not so unbelievable because of the sheer amount of different permission keys and doors that existed in the single building.

[@Craig1967]

This has got to be the best video I have ever seen about how pin tumbler locks work! The mention of the driver pin and key pin with the matching video has now explained it to me perfectly.

Great video my 6 year old was asking how locks work. I could've tried to explain it and he would've glazed over. This was clear, quick and to the point with simple but effective animation

[@pwnputty]

Fun facts about locks: most locks have 5 different shafts in the lock. Some have 6. Different manufacturers have different numbers of pins. Ie Taymor and schlage have pins 0 to 9. Where as some of the weiser locks use 0 to 6. if you look on the side of your keys you can sometimes see a 5 or 6 digit number. Its the number that corresponds to the pins in your lock. different numbers are different sizes of pins. 0 being the smallest and 9 being the biggest. Thats all for now. Maybe ill think of more that i have seen and put them in another video.

[@saintgospelrap]

Why do the pins not fall once u turn the latch?

[@56independent]

@@saintgospelrap the inside is all metal, exept for a gap where the key goes in. when you turn it, the pins wont fall because the metal is there to stop it

Jared, your videos are the best! Rekeying locks was one of my duties when I was an apartment complex handy man when I was in in college in the '70's. Rekeying is not complicated or difficult, but handling those little pin parts can make one get a little testy.

[@green_beard]

thanks bro, someone mess up the lock at my door and I could not get in. Good thing I had a back door and now I took down the lock and I'm trying to understand how it works. Normally I would enter the key with the sharp things pointing above, but now that is switched and they need to go pointing down. The thing is that the key only half enters this way. And I actually made it work, with a paper clip, lol

So when a master key exists in a building, all the locks are identical except for one small part of them. So anyone can enter any door as long as they make a slight alteration to their already existing key, which they can compare to the keys of other apartments in the same building and find which parts are the same and which part is different.

[@JaredOwen]

True but that would take a lot of work and expertise to do

The Yale key, other than pushing the pins in the lock to the right height, also has a concave ridge on its sides. As matter of fact, any wrong key can enter the cylinder and not turn, or will not enter at all. That is caused by the ridge, and double the number of combinations for a given set of pins Thanks for the video...

[@securityman6666]

Yale does have a "Keymark" series of high-security side-milled keys but the concept predates their design by many years. ASSA (which now owns Yale) has had their Sidebar system for a few decades.

[@bmwforlife6951]

Still don't understand the masterkey. Every lock in the door is different, so if the first shaft gets in position, you still have the other vertical shafts which are different. How do they all line up then?

[@weltlos]

Yep, you're right. I think to get a useful master key system you need to create a completely new shear line by adding a master pin to every existing driver. These master pins have of course different sizes in every lock because they add up with the already unique key pin sizes while the shear line stays the same.

[@ZenoDLC]

The ones that doesn't have master pins all have the same shear line

I used to work for a hollow metal door and window company We supplied all hardware for new doors for hospitals, schools, gov't buildings, factories, etc. I used to sit for hours keying all the cylinders for these big jobs. You've probably never stopped to think how many door frames, doors, hinges, lock and passage sets, panic hardware(panic bar), door closers, floor sweeps, thresholds (exterior) that are in a building I left this job in 1996 and I can't for the life of me remember how a tumbler lock works, lol I've been watching LPL but I thought I'd brush up on the basics.
