I've just finished cutting an MTL MT5+ which is possibly non existant anywhere else at the moment, well exclusive! When you done the write up, you neglected to give the other side of cutaways...... people collect them. It's not always for picking, and I find 90% of my customers just collect and enjoy seeing what is going on inside. I also find the higher the security, or the more seperate locking mechanisms, the more interest they fetch. I cut my locks in a way that keeps the lock fully functional & feeling exactly as it did in standard form. You can see the upper and lower pins in full also :) http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/4411/cimg6182.jpg I cutaway high security cylinders all the time.

We're considering carrying them simply because they are designed in a different way than the ones we produce and this will give our customers more variety to choose from. All I can tell you for certain is that the key in knob cylinders we use to create our cut-aways are of very high quality with close tolerances, and though quite a bit of material has been removed to give a view of the top pins there is still enough left that it doesn't much affect the 'feedback' that a lock picker gets when he is working on a lock. This feedback, or feel, is something you develop over time, picking many many locks.

I can pick it too easy. Do your cut away locks work better than these?
