I was just wondering...how exactly are pin tumbler locks made? I know the parts that they are made of...but I don't know how they are manufactured...like what machines make them or any of that other kind of stuff.

Any links would also be helpful. Thanks.

I have seen door closers manufactured but not the locks. Various types of metal stampers, presses, forges, threaders etc. used by machinists and adapted to the locks. If you need more detailed info., perhaps one of these manufacturers could help you if you contacted them.
