| The series 5200 padlock is a standard pin tumbler lock which although sometimes has room for a 6th pin stack comes pinned in 5 chambers. The bottom pins come in both serrated and plain, and the top pins come as spooled, spoorated, and serrated top pins. When all of the pins are lifted to the shear line by the key the plug can turn clockwise. The 5200 Series is a key retaining lock, so when it is opened with the key the key cannot be removed until the lock is shut again.
