A tumbler lock works by aligning internal pins when the correct key is inserted. The key lifts each pin to the correct height, allowing the cylinder to rotate and unlock. Without the correct key, the misaligned pins block the cylinder from turning.
To work a tumbler lock, insert the correct key into the keyway, which aligns the pins inside the lock cylinder. When the key is fully inserted, the pins align at the shear line, allowing the cylinder to turn and the lock to open. Without the correct key, the pins remain misaligned, preventing the cylinder from turning.
