Tools and Methods
The decoder works by measuring the length of the lower pins in the lock and this information is used to
construct a key which will open the mechanism. Although a certain amount of skill is required to use
the system it is very quick and leaves no forensic evidence inside the lock.
In 2008 the new updated basic pin lock decoder was developed. The new Decoder brings wire probe
measuring of pin lengths to the next level. Features like Wires in sets with different thicknesses and the
ease to quickly adjust or replace needles and wires make the tool suitable for locks that in the past you
could not open quickly these features substantially decrease lock decoding time.
