    This document discusses key components and their functions. It defines a shim as a thin, flat piece of metal used in locks and keys. It explains that the shoulder of a key prevents it from entering the keyway too far and indexes the bitting to the tumbler positions. Shouldered pins have a larger diameter on their top side to limit how far they can penetrate chambers. The document includes two figures illustrating a shell containing driver pins and springs, and the shoulder of a key indexing it to the chambers.
