A '''side pin''' (or '''finger pin''') is an active locking component used in many [[lock]]s. Side pins are widely used on high-security locks to provide a secondary locking mechanism, enhance key control, and increase the number of available [[differs]] for a keying system. Individual side pins are often used in [[cylinder]]-based locks to prevent rotation of the [[plug]] until the proper key is used. Almost all [[sidebar]] locks use side pins in some way.

Keys for locks that use side pins or sidebar often have a secondary bitting surface to interact with side pins.

The [[Schlage Everest]] is one of the most notable examples of a lock that uses a single side pin.
