Unless the lock is aligned precisely, when the pin is pulled outward, one of the teeth will pull more strongly
than the others on its disc. This disc is then rotated to a slight click is heard,
telling us that the tooth has settled . The procedure is repeated for the remaining discs,
resulting in an opening lock, and a correct combination, in very little time.
