Doing anything more interesting (even going to 6 pins) creates a cascade

Don,

You are making life difficult for yourself.

By my count you have a masterkey system with 4 different keys.

This is very much doable with a standard 5 pin system.

The need for multiple keyways comes in in much larger systems like multi
story hotels and the like.

I will give you a hint, if you keep your eyes open on e-bay, you might score
some nice Schlage A series locks, and those will outlive you. *The F series
is junk.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

Give me a call and I will walk you through this.
