This video is about how to open pin tumbler locks with spool or mushroom pins. Spool pins and mushroom pins act in a similar way but mushroom pins act a little different when positioned with the small part at the top. The spool pin is the most commonly used security pin in locks likely due to its simplicity and ease of manufacturing. Spool pins have the same diameter as standard pins on the top and the bottom but are narrower in the middle. This creates a lip on the top of the pin which is designed to catch on the shear line preventing the lock from turning.

Spool and mushroom pins are a type of security pin and are designed to prevent lockpicking, resist decoding, impressioning, key bumping, and other compromise techniques. Security pins are typically found in more expensive locks. They disrupt the feedback you get when picking a lock but if you are able to identify the kind of feedback you are getting you can determine what type of security pin it is. Spool and mushroom pins are easy to detect because of the rotation of the plug when the narrow section is caught in the shear line causing a false set. When applying light tension to the plug and pushing the pin up you should get some counter-rotation which also indicates a mushroom or spool pin.
