Tumbler Locks work by moving small metal or plastic pins into sleeves measured to precise lengths. When the tumblers are moved the proper distances by a properly shaped piece of metal, the latch is free to move. Two keys generally come with each lock; duplicates can be made for a few credits. Tumbler locks can be keyed to work for several different keys, allowing some keys to open a series of locks, others only one. Padlocks (small, readily portable versions of the tumbler lock) appear at TL–5.
