This defect makes it possible to open a lock by lifting the pins one at a time, and thus you don’t need a key to lift all the pins at the same time. Figure 4.1-4.3 shows how the pins of a lock can be set one at a time. The first step of the procedure is to apply a sheer force to the lock by pushing on the bottom plate. This force causes one or more of the pins to be scissored between the top and bottom plate. The most common defect a inck lo is that only one pin will bind. Figure 4.1 shows the left pin binding. Even though a pin is binding, it can be pushed up with a picking tool, see Figure 4.2. When the top of the key pin reaches the sheer line, the bottom plate will slide slightly. If the pick is removed, the driver pin will be held up by the overlapping bottom plate, and the key pin will drop down to its initial position, see Figure 4.3. The slight movement of the bottom plate causes a new pin to bind. The same procedure can be used to set the new pin. [...] [...] The flatland model highlights the basic defect that enables lock picking to work.
