So, I got these today:

Big box of Dom ix 10 kgs
Bought them expecting half to have keys, turned out to be a GGMK system, with two GGMKeys plus about 50 blanks, so, in effect, I have keys for every lock in the bunch. Really happy with this purchase.
If you haven't read it already, now's a perfect time for Han Fey's Dom article:

I think page 11 for my lock...could be wrong, too tired to load up the pdf right now.
And a quick trip through time so I can not only post my own breakdown photos, but also show of the often much better photos of other folks who've worked on other generations of DOM locks:

Anyhow, on to todays photos:

Lock and keys, these have the floating ball in the key which is really better displayed and explained in Han's paper than I could ever do here for you.

A breakdown of all the bits and pieces. See the flat part of the plug? That plastic thing on the left, in between the tailpiece and the bible cover (name?) sits in there, giving the face of the lock a balanced keyway, unlike most Dom's I've seen that have it open on one end or the other. Nothing too special about it, just interesting.

Just another angle on it. The lot came with 3 badly damaged, no-keys cylinders that I took apart today. This isn't actually 1 lock, but rather the correct number of parts from a bag full of parts. The pin stacks should be even, I did a decent job of arranging them, I think. Mean little security pins here and there. Cool locks, in general.

Just a nice photo of the plug...and my wicked dirty fingers.
Enjoy!
