This is a lock i just got which makes our job much easier

can you guess why?

[Riyame]

Um, it is really really tiny making drilling it easier?

You might need to upload a bigger picture.

Picture is too small to see. Please upload a larger file size please.

My guess is that the little hole roughly 2 o'clock clockwise from the keyhole is such that you can put a pin, pick, wrench or needle in and press in some kind of button to allow the lock to turn freely, negating the need to pick it

Sorry ofr the pic as it was taken in my poor phone

The answer is no , the hole has a different purpose

Hmm... Is it a core change modification? Unlock, turn the core to that position and pull it out for easy repinning?

Well done!

Did you make that? Or is that how it comes retail? very cool idea, I wonder if it creates any security compromises though?

Nice. Reminds me of an Almont Re-Key padlock, but I've never seen this in a door cylinder before.
