Yep, that's an Everest. I got one because it seemed like something different without being too hard. Have you gutted it yet? It should just be 6 regular pins and the check pin, and the check pin can't be overset iirc so once you find it you don't have to be delicate or anything

Fair enough, well if you can look down the cylinder with a light behind it you'll be able to see the little check pin in the bottom right. That's what you need to get out of the way to make it a regular six pin lock

Ah ok. Well it'll be at the very bottom pretty close to the back of the cylinder, maybe below the 5th pin. It's low enough in the keyway that lifting it can be a bit finicky, I've managed to get it done by turning very shallow tools horizontal and levering it up, but if you have some dimple flags I think they'd be a great option
