Great products. I have been using lab pins since I started locksmithing ten years ago. The only problem I had was accidentally dropping the pin kit when I first a started and it never happened again, knocking on wood:

This company goes overboard when asked to help in the Locksmith community. Never a question asked and always willing to give back to the industry. A company to look up to!
