There's definately something going on with it... I think all their basic cylinders contain spools now, and this thing is behaving like it has spools but what I saw in that video has me wondering. Is it possible for a pin to feel like it's been pushed out of false set and set correctly when in fact it's a chamfered key pin and you've actually gone and overset the whole thing?
Also, both the yale cylinders I have contain 3 security drivers which are like spools, but with an extra section in the middle (so you get 2 false sets on each one). Really fun to pick, but again it makes me wonder cos neither of those give me any real trouble. I just don't know what to expect when I get a new yale.
