A.01 — The entry
Inside the lock
Five pins. One line. That's the difference between locked and open.
Most door locks use a pin-tumbler cylinder. The right key lifts every pin to the shear line so the plug can turn. When pins wear, stick or break, the key stops working properly — slide the key and see for yourself.
Pins misaligned — the cylinder stays locked. Worn pins cause exactly this.

Detail 01 / The Lock
When the lock itself is the problem
A lock is a mechanical assembly of springs, pins and moving parts. Wear, dirt, damage or forcing can stop it turning smoothly.
Symptoms you may notice
- Key turns stiffly or only part-way
- Lock feels gritty or loose
- Visible damage after an attempted entry
Sensible next step
Avoid forcing the key. Describe what the lock is doing so the problem can be assessed for repair or replacement.
