The 917 is a high pin count dimple lock made by the Japanese company WEST.
Principles of operation
The WEST 917 contains 20 pins, arranged in rows of six on the left and right of the keyway and seven on the top. It also contains a core-centering ball bearing.
The pin chambers in the core are overmilled as an additional defense against lock picking. The 917 contains multiple security pins: both regular and mushroom driver pins as well as spooled and tapered multiple spooled key pins. The key is bitted on the sides and edges of the blade and is reversible.
