This seems to work on only the most basic of locks, and doesn't seem to address "Security Pins" or false pins (pins if you move, will seize the keyway), which will cause false sets, clicks, partial keyway turns, etc.

They can be really nasty for an experienced lockpicker to navigate, and will make all the same sounds and feel of picking a real pin. Most semi-advanced locks will have one or more of these anti-picking countermeasures in place.

As it is, it would be far faster to actually pick this lock instead of trying to reproduce the key.
