Anyone heard of Zeiss Ikon locks?

[quickpicks]

Hello.
I am just looking for some information on Ziess Ikon locks and I would like to know If they can still be purchased. All I know about theese is that they are really old. Thanks for any help.

I see them every so often on ebay and all I know about them is that the ones I have seen sell for ALOT of money. I was under the impression that they were not as old as you make them sound, the one that I saw had a key that used side milling and required a ID card like those that come with Medecos to get copies made.

I have also seen them listed under "Ruko" if you decide to search for them.

The correct spelling is Zeiss Ikon.
The German company was founded 1846 by Carl Zeiss and the name Zeiss stands for high quality optical products. They also make respectable locks, but it seems that this part was taken over by the finnish Abloy in 1989.

P.S. Maybe they cost a lot of money and have ID cards with them because I've seen them mostly in master key systems.

I've got one on the underground parking where I live. I has side milling and five pins. Probably with security drive pins.

I was told by my local locksmith that teese were about 30 years old. sorry if I made them sound older than they are.
