Hi,

Do you know Laperche gemmcode? My house is protected with it.
I did seek with google but I didn't find any information about gemm protection.
If someone can give me a few clues, it will be nice

Well, how long did you try? Go to http://www.laperche.com/ - another ASSA ABLOY Group company...

You may have to use a little bit of French, sometimes http://babelfish.altavista.com helps with that.

HTH,

this is what you want.

it looks to be a fairly secure dimple lock.

"DIAM" would be a dimple lock.

The "GEMMCODE"
http://www.laperche.com/pro/notices/mat ... mmcode.PDF
doesn't have dimples, but some "codage de l’embrayage (brevet)" / "coding of the clutch (patent)" at the tip of the key. Can't see much about this from the 'cutaway' picture, though.

Maybe seb can tell us about it?
BTW, are you from France?

Cheers,
mh

Thanks a lot !
My lock seems bump proof thanks to the coding of the clutch (?)
I want to dismount the lock but I wonder whether I would manage to mount it again
Yep, mh, I am French

He is probably going to ask you to buy him one of those locks and send it to him...

[mh]

Yes, I like French locks... But only at low prices, usually used, to that extent I'm an ebay addict...

Anyway, seb - with dismounting - do you mean: remove the lock from the door? That's probably very easy...

Or taking it apart, so that you can see inside the lock? I would not recommend that, if you want to use the lock afterwards. High risk of the lock failing at some later point in time, e.g. when you get home late and it's raining heavily and so on... Only take apart locks that you don't want to use afterwards.

The latter is described in these forums, however; search for "Euro re-pinning" or similar.

Usually in france, good locks are A2P, to know if you lock is A2P usually is you have the A2P and the number of * one to three on your key,cylinder,and lock "pêne central de la serrure ou demi-tour".
