Disk detainer idea

[Josh K]

So one of the advantages of a disk detainer lock is that it has no moving parts. Nothing to jam or really wear out.

What if you took a disk detainer lock and put lever lock style springs on it? Forcing all the disks back to the "0" position after they were released. In order to "pick" this lock you'd have to construct a tool that could rotate every disk and then lock it in place, fighting the reverse tension applied by the springs.

Well... the rotating disks, I guess

Also, in many designs, tensioning the sidebar would actually hold the disks, either trough friction, or in a true or false gate.

But I also think that rotating disk tumbler locks are a very good basis for a secure design.

Change that to no tensioned parts.

So now I have to figure out how to design a sidebar that doesn't place tension on the individual wheels. Awesome.

E.g. spring loaded to the inside like this half-moon-dimple-key-lock

Or this: http://www.google.de/patents/about?id=f ... s_maxy_is=

With such design, tensioning will block the sidebar and not push it against the tumblers.

Beautiful, I love it!

There goes my other idea of having a lock that when tensioned blocked the pins from binding. Actually this is the opposite, but probably more effective.

Thanks mh, I love learning new things.

seems like a good idea to me
