If you have a picture of one that you can post, that might help. Could be a number of things.

um, are you refering to a 5 pin tubular lock? i guess it would depend on your own mental depiction of what a star looks like. i mean, does this lock look like a big firey ball of hot gas, or some fat yellow 5 pointed thing thats shiny like on super mario world?

Same as any other tubular I reckon. There's a post in the middle that'll apply tension then it's just a matter or getting the pins to the right height.
