Yep, and they are very precise at that...

Pilz=mushroom
Kopf=head
Sperr=blocking
Stifte=pins

euro yale 999

Postby raimundo » 8 Feb 2007 11:42

keyway is a euro version of the yale 999, probably a bit tighter. A good challenge to picking but Ive seen much worse in terms of effective warding.

Care to elaborate raimundo? I just finished some homemade super slimlines I'd like to try out.

while we're on the topic of this manufacturer. I just won an auction on Ebay for 2 locks made by this company. The Atlantic and the magno version. I hope they have spools in them also. good luck with your locks.

Hard keyway huh? That's good, I don't have many locks with a difficult keyway. I'm always looking for a challenge.
