Strange Key Way

Postby Project » 1 Jun 2004 18:28

i was eating at a seafood buffet today, and i notice their front door had a really unusual lock. The shape of the keyway was a H. Any of u guys have any clue what kind of lock this is?

Heya, about the only thing ive heard is an excerpt from the text file about high security locks...

Codem

(F) 5-pin-tumbler, H-profile key (2)

The codem lock cylinder is a standard size euro-profile cylinder with an
H-shaped keyway. There are 5 conventional pin-tumblers in one line along one
side of the H. Keyway access is restricted as compared with standard
pin-tumbler locks. The key is symmetric and can be inserted either way round.


There is another in that text with a H shaped key made by Fichet tho it seems unlikly that that was the actual lock you saw as the text classifies them as "Near obsolete".

Hope this is some help...
