How hard could it possibly be. I mean, there's only one security driver pin...

The pins and springs from a Medeco Biaxial. The pins are a mix of one brass standard (for a zero lift pin), three stainless steel anti-drill pins and one brass mushroom pin.

The key pins have offset chiseled tips, and a set of gates for the sidebar. Each pin has a single false gate and one true gate. One pin has an anti-decoding grove to prevent rotation from decoded without being picked, which prevents bumping attacks.

The whole lock, showing the rather corroded brass plug and a copper sidebar with two tiny springs. There are also hardened steel anti-drill pins installed.

For context, here's the key:
