See also: Pin-Tumbler (Principles of Operation)

The Classic is a traditional pin-tumbler that uses five pin stacks. To open the lock, all pin stacks must be aligned at the shear line to allow the plug to rotate. There are ten key pin heights and eleven key cut depths with the use of master pins.

The Classic has a MACS of 5. Many Classic cylinders come with construction keying dimples on the plug.
