The history of lock development, particularly [[Lock (security device)#Modern locks|modern locks]], is largely one of an [[arms race]] between lock pickers and lock inventors.

Today's anti-picking methods in standard pin tumbler locks include the use of sidewards which obstruct the keyway and "security pins" or "carnival pins". These are shaped like a spool, mushroom, or barrel, with the effect that they feel as though they have set when in fact they have not.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lockwiki.com/index.php/Security_pin|title=Security pin - Lockwiki|website=Lockwiki.com|access-date=March 8, 2016}}</ref> Security pins can also have the effect of resetting other pins when adjusted.
