A Protec copy?

Does anyone know about Tokoz Pro? Looks like an Abloy Protec copy.

Similar principals but completely different under the skin. All made out of cheap pressed steel, no basket, poxy sidebar, and the best part is the pressed steel discs and carriers chew away the inside of the soft aluminium case!

Cut a few of these away for a customer & I really don't like them one bit. Shockingly bad quality & sticky operation.
What a load of old BiLocks!!!!

I'm probably 0 for 400 in looking for safes behind wall paintings

So what material is the housing and the plug that carries the disks?

There is no plug for the discs :| there are lots of disc carriers that slot into each other and the whole lot rotates as one once it is decoded.

The housing is aluminium OR hardened depending on your order preference.

I mean yeah, they're not TERRIBLE, but I still don't like them... will be interested to see how one holds up after a year of use.
