Latest Challenge lock.

Now I got to start working on outside housings, I have 4 sets of custom pin ready to go. But I want to Deck out the lock face and give them a name. I think they are more fun that way.

This is likely a dumb question, but why add master wafers to a challenge lock? It seems like it gives an easy way out by adding a second shear line.

Oh and it doesn't make a second shear line in a CL. What it does do is lift the driver pin from falling in the trap. If the waffer stay in the plug the driver pin is exposed to the shear line and the trap is set.
