Kaba Micro picked and gutted, plus versions overview

The tiniest high-pin-count lock gutted on camera for the first time! Also picked, of course.

Turns out it's full of tapered pins - both long drivers and long key pins are tapered. Short ones aren't. Nothing special in the core or bibles, beside tiny size.

I highly discourage from repeating this if you want to keep your micro working. Putting it back in one piece is a pain. The core diameter is just 6mm, and the pins are 2mm wide. That's way smaller than American 1100 or Abus 72/40.
