PLUG SPINNERS
Lock picks are important but Plug Spinners
are nearly as important and if you need one and don't have one, nothing
else will do.
A Plug Spinner is used when a lock has been picked in the wrong direction,
whether by oversight or intentionally when picking in the proper direction
fails. There are many models to choose from, but most work in the
same way, storing energy in the form of a spring that is released with the
touch of a button or the releasing of a trigger. A 'blade' is inserted
into the rotated keyway, which is attached to the body of the spinner. The
spring within the device is twisted in the direction of the desired rotation
and some kind of locking stop is put into action that holds this twist.
When the stop or trigger is released, all the energy stored in the
spring is transmitted to the plug of the lock and the rotation is so fast
it does not allow the top pins to drop into the plug as the plug rotates
past the locked position.
