Pins not Setting
If you
scrub
a lock and pins are not setting even when you
vary
the
torque
, then some pin has
false set
and it is keeping the rest of the pins from
setting
.
Consider
a lock whose pins prefer to
set
from
back to front
. If the
backmost
pin false sets
high
or
low
, then the plug cannot
rotate
enough to
allow
the other pins to
bind
. It is hard to
recognize
that a back pin has false set because the
springiness
of the front pins makes it
hard
to sense the
small
give of a correctly set back pin. The main
symptom
of this
situation
is that the other pins will not set unless a very large
torque
is applied.
When you encounter this
situation
, release the
torque
and start over by
concentrating
on the back pins. Try a light
torque
and
moderate
pressure
, or heavy torque and heavy pressure. Try to
feel
for the
click
that happens when a pin reaches the
sheer line
and the plug
rotate
s
slightly
. The click will be easier to feel if you use a
stiff
torque wrench
.
