Yale Pins and Core Information
I have a Yale mortise cylinder, that gave me a lot of troubles. I ended up gutting it without picking to ensure everything was mechanically sound. Turns out the cap holding the springs and top pins in was moving a lot. I gutted it.
In the picture below, The pins are very mushroom-like, almost like half a spool pin (B). In addition, the core looks to have two rows of holes (A) but I can't determine WHY. Is it manufactured like this for efficiency and re-use of the core?
Any help would be appreciated - this is my first experience with Yale.
