	Security pins are designed so that use of a tool other than a key will trigger the pins and lock one or more pins at the [[shear line]]. This can be due to individual manipulation of components or [[tension]] on the cylinder. When triggered, security pins bind between the [[plug]] and [[cylinder]], blocking the rotation of the plug until tension on the cylinder is released and pins are dropped back to their resting position.
