Just found a nice disassembly picture of the Geminy "lock safe" escutcheon (sp?) plate that I have mentioned around here quite a few times. It is not very explanatory, but maybe someone shares my interest in it...

It's nice to see one disassembled.
I couldn't see many features though that makes this hard to pick, except for serrated pins, but all in all it's apparently just a 'lateral' version of a tubular lock...

There are pin in pin stacks, if I'm not mistaken...

Yes, you are right.
So it's 2 'lateral' locks that can be picked one after the other, more time consuming.
