Wanted: video showing how to count pins in a cylinder
I am trying to find a video demonstrating how to count the pins in a standard mortise cylinder.
In regards to a fellow with a bunch of cylinders for sale but who cannot tell me how many pins, whether 6 or 7 pin in this case. I tried giving some simple directions but to no avail.
He say he will watch a how-to video if I can send a link. So far I've only found a couple videos where pickers count the pins before they pick the lock; but, only in a cursory manner. Also, what common construction or household tool would work for counting instead of a pick?
Any suggestions or links would be great.
Have a great night,
Sean
P.s.
My camera is not working at the moment so I can't do one myself.
