(100) Corbin Emhart how it works

Some how I have made it to my official 100th video for this channel. I don't know how this happened either.

Anyway, the Corbin Emhart system is a high security lock design that is rarely seen these days since Medeco sued Corbin in 1975 and settled for royalties on each unit sold by Corbin until 1987. Corbin Russwin still sells parts, blanks, and support for this system (now known as Corbin Russwin High Security) but only to existing system owners. The Corbin Emhart uses a modified version of Corbin Russwin's System 70 depth system (it does not use the shallowest depth in System 70) and adds left and right rotation of the pins.
Picking an Emhart cylinder is possible but will usually cause the pin stacks to disconnect which can cause the lock to jam. Repair and repinning can only be accomplished by prying the cover off the top of the chambers since the plug is held in place by the tabs on the driver pins.
