A word on how to pick a lock with different pin numbers: 7, 8, and 10 pin tubular locks all have the same size keyway - just a different number of pins. However, due to the different spacing of the pins, you require a different pick for each pin quantity - a 7 pin center lock can’t be opened by an 8 pin center pick, for example, a 10 pin pick won’t be able to handle 7 or 8 pin tubular locks. You’ll have to add a number of different pin number tools if you want to be able to handle every different type of tubular lock out there.
