so i gutted one of my falcon cores today to see what kind of security pins it had. it was my first time taking apart an interchangeable core. what threw me off was there were 2 sets of top pins and 2 sets of bottom pins. can anyone help me out with putting it back together i searched youtube but came up with nothing.

that would be operating,master,and control lines,i believe....and good luck w/o a pinning block, if you dont have the keys... if you DO have the keys, put the cltrl key in the plug and pin it up...

not if you do not have the master key..if you just want a control key, put the ctrl rey in your empty plug, and start adding pinstacks and different combos until your pins are flush with the ctrl shearline....i am sure someone else on the board here could be of much more help than myself..
also you might want to check out "sfic wot"'s yahoo group....(this guy knows all there is to know 'bout sfic...=) good luck.
