What is a Lock Pin? What is Its Function in a Door Lock Mechanism?

A lock pin is one of the most essential components that ensures the proper functioning of a door lock mechanism. Pins inside the lock system verify whether the correct key is used and allow the lock to open or close.

In this article, we explain what a lock pin is, its role in a door lock mechanism and how the cylinder lock pin system works.

How Does a Lock Pin Work?
