the kaba website shows some good pictures.

i think this is just the next step in the kaba dimple range.

they'l be putting dimplesn on the end of the key next lol

Excellent locks though, id be impressed with anyone that can hand pick one, even just a gemini

Crazy has picked a gemini. You can see his video here. ;)

Not sure if the Star is bump proof or not... I know the Penta uses specially shaped pins, which prevent impressioning aswell as making them almost impossible to bump. To the best of my knowledge, the Gemini S and Quattro S use the same kind of pins but I'm not sure about the Star. Not a Kaba expert by any means.

I've picked the Gemini too. They're actually a whole lot easier than you'd expect.

Yes, just like every other mechanical lock. Use a half diamond and feather tension.
