    @mcdanlj I think by chamfered you might mean rounded. That’s common but usually only with Kwikset and Kwikset clones, not Yale… but both brands are owned by Assa Abloy so it’s possible newer ones are using Kwikset bottom pins. The way to really tell would be to check a new one of the same model and see if its key has the usual Kwikset wide flat cuts.

    As far as the top pins/all/ spools, that is unusual. I’ve seen newer Kwikset locks coming with 2 out of 5 top pins being spools now but 5 seems excessive, especially since having /all/ top pins as spools leads to the cylinder having “slop” (a little bit of turning each way) when it’s in the resting/locked position. Having them /all/ as spools makes me think maybe someone repinned it at some point 🤷‍♂️

    Good thread here for #locksport folks on the different generations of Kwikset SmartKey including a link to a pretty nice “Kwikset Smartkey Guide” Google doc about them #locks #lockpicking #kwikset #smartkey
