I was under the impression impressioning relied on all the lock's springs and driver pins being identical, and that better tubular locks avoided that?

I looked for a picture of the case but couldn't find one. I was in that college CAD lab... quite a long time ago.



Tubular locks are trivial to pick and the lock turning the screw mentioned above would be just as simple with a tubular pick than with the original key.
