Chubb Detector Lock

[hzatorsk]

I was recently reading about the Chubb detector lock... and was interested in whether or not there were any current consumer or commercial locks which use a similar technique to 'lockout' (even the correct key) should the mechanism detect that a picking attempt has occurred.

anyone?

The M&C cylinders offer a similar approach in a pin tumbler design but they cannot be reset and must be destructively opened at that point. There are other brands that offer their same design. Slagcilinder.com shows their cylinders I believe.

In terms of current technology, the one that comes to mind is the MLA Binary Plus, an Australian design. There are trap srpings that falsely set the pins. The correct key releases the trap springs and operates the cylinder in the normal manner.

FYI, chubb detectors occasionally come up on ebay, if you want one.

If I could find a Chubb Detector in good working order, I'd so put one of those on my door and then call a locksmith and say I've lost my key just to see what happens......"oh this is just an old lever lock, I'll pick it right open in a jiffy...*inserts picks*......click, click....KA-CHUNK!!!! What the h-e-l-l was that?!...hmm...um...errrrr..."
