	A '''telescoping pin''' is a modification of the traditional [[Pin_tumbler\|pin-tumbler]] design that allows for "pins within pins". In a telescoping design, there are outer and inner pins, all of which must be properly aligned at the [[shear line]] to allow the [[plug]] to rotate. Though the design of the telescoping pin goes as far back as 1897, companies like [[Mul-T-Lock]] and [[KESO]] are credited with popularizing and innovating the design in modern pin-tumbler locks.
