MaxCut Style Cutaway Key-in-Deadbolt cylinder lock features

This cutaway lock is made from a key-in-deadbolt cylinder and is designed for both practice and demonstration. MaxCut’s purpose is primarily as a tool to be used in training to pick locks. It is a functioning key-in-deadbolt cylinder with some of the lock housing and lock plug machined away.

The MaxCut cutaway lock has a portion of one side of the pin stack machined away. The cut extends partially into the upper cylinders providing a good view of the top driver pins and springs. In addition to the pin stack the lock housing is cutaway exposing the lock plug. Shear line principle can be observed by rotating the lock plug. A portion of the lock plug has also been machined away allowing a clear view of the bottom pins. The lock has additional machining to expose even more than the ProCut key-in-deadbolt cylinder. Since much of the lock plug has been machined away stop-pins are used to limit rotation, this prevents the pins from falling out. Choice of which side is cutaway include right handed or left handed. Options also include choice of keyway.

This cutaway lock is made from a conventional mechanical pin tumbler cylinder lock that is in common usage. It has six drilled pin stacks five of which are pinned with conventional pins. The MaxCut cutaway key-in-deadbolt cylinder can be rekeyed or repinned using a standard plug follower. When ordered with the FastPin option the task of rekeying and repinning are made easier.

Note: Do not use kinetic opening techniques with cutaway locks e.g. bumping, lockpick gun or vibrating lockpick since part of their structure has been removed and damage could occur.
