message: Yale lock is a brand (generic brand ?) and/or a company, a pin tumbler lock is just another a type of lock. Perhaps we need Yale lock??? Peter Horn 01:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

message: This article makes no mention of some well-known vulnerabilities of pin-tumbler locks - techniques such as bumping and so on.  Is this out of sensitivity to security?  Or oversight? GoldenRing (talk) 11:27, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know where to find a photo of the original wooden Egyptial lock design (licensed under CC)? I think this would make the history of the lock section a bit better Willh26 (talk) 22:26, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The article states that the design may date back to Egyptian times (and the reference supplied states this as well).  This strongly suggests that no lock exists to subject to dating techniques, or to photograph. -Elektrik Fanne (talk) 11:54, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

text: I meant a photograph of a reconstruction lock (obviosly not an original!). I have made a diagram of the lock and added it to the page. Willh26 (talk) 14:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

message: === Proposed merge with Snib ===
The "snib" is not independently notable; the only content in Snib rightly belongs in a dictionary, not an encyclopaedia. —me_and 18:02, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have merged Cylinder lock into Pin tumbler lock, as I agree that they do not need separate pages. I have also suggested merging Lock snapping Willh26 (talk) 14:40, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

text: Good idea.  Subject is discussed at both articles. -Elektrik Fanne (talk) 18:19, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Merging Cylinder lock into this article would be an obvious move.  Both are very short articles.  Apart from the historical Egyption lock, all modern examples of pin tumbler locks are cylinder locks.  Some of the content is duplicated and what is not is relevant to the other article anyway. -Elektrik Fanne (talk) 12:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger proposal with [[Cylinder lock]] 

message: Merging Lock snapping with this article I think would be necessary, as there is no need to have a separate article for lock snapping when it only occurs on cylinder locks. Since cylinder locks have been merged with pin tumbler lock.  (Restored section name so that links from the articles work properly.) Willh26 (talk) 14:42, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

message: The word "barrel" is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Isn't it the common name for the part where the key goes in?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shcha (talk • contribs) 09:57, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

message: What's that silly talk about uPVC doors "in Europe"? What kind of news is that lock snapping "started" 2009 in "West Yorkshire"? I mean the first is untrue assumption, and the second is completely irrelevant and aged local news. --Ghettobuoy (talk) 12:56, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

message: I've seen vending machines with keyholes that don't go straight down, but diagonal through the center of the lock. What kind of tumbler lock is this? 2603:7000:D03A:5895:F507:553F:D386:B485 (talk) 12:36, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
