And furthermore, if you strip the pins out carefully,
making notes and
measuring them, then you will be able to put them back in exactly as they
came out. Useful, if you ever get the real key.
Even if you don't note down the order, it's fairly easy to determine by
trial and erorr if yoyu have the right key -- try each pin in the first
hole until you find one that's level with the top of the plug (inner
cylinder), repeat for all the other holes.
