Key Cutting & Pinning
Comparing A4 Pin Stacks
The examples on this page show pinning for key
symbol 1AA.
When pinning conventional cylinders, ignore the
control bitting. If a top pin of 12 or greater is need-
ed, use two pins of equal length to bring the pin
stack to the required height. When an odd num-
bered top pin is required, such as 15, use two pins
that are close in size–8 and 7 instead of 11 and 4.
For the patent pin chamber in all conventional
cylinders, insert the proper bottom and top patent
pins, then insert a number 4F top pin.
Pinning for all Peaks products can now be accom-
plished with only one spring. That stainless steel
spring is number 3800-00-4010.
Note: Peaks Preferred Patent Pins for illustration
only. (See key pinning section 3 - 4 to 3 - 12)
