I am still finishing my course and this may be told later, but what is the purpose of second set of holes on the plug (if your looking at it from the key end) on the right of the pins (Kwikset security deadbolt)? They do not go all the way through the plug, and it doesn't seem to make the plug bind when it is turned counter clockwise.
I was just curious,

Those are for construction keying. Little ball bearings are placed in 1 or
2 chambers to act as a master keying wafer, then when the new owner uses thier key, the bearing drop into those little holes and disable the construction master key. (When I do rekey those locks, I always remove those bearings, and any master wafers in the locks..)
They are for little balls used in construction mastering.

like Steve said..
welcome to the group
They are for construction keying. It's where the balls drop when the owners key is used.
Welcome aboard. That was a very thoughtful question, and several other fine people did a great job answering.
I was just curious, what course are you taking? You like it so far?
Any suggestions?

Many of the "lockouts" you do will be due to lost keys. If you want to do much business you will have to be able to originate keys as well. If you are talking automotive then something like lockpicking 101 isn't going to help you much you are going to need a car opening kit and manual.
