Shrub, hmmmmm tibbe key decoder. The workshop techs at work have this eerie ability to look at a tibbe key and spout off the cuts. I wouldn't have a clue where to start to tell you the truth.

I did not make that cutaway. Though after looking at it, I dont think it would take long to make at all. Those locks are pretty expensive though, you better make sure your work is down tight in the vise before you start milling :shock:

. I personally would not even attempt it :lol:

It was 35 pounds, which is about $60.

Those are very high security locks. I think there's 12 disks inside.

by **ThE_MasteR** » 11 Dec 2005 19:04

Oupss I think there's only 7, correct me if I am wrong, I just saw the key.

by **illusion** » 11 Dec 2005 19:05

I thought there were only 6.

got one coming soon

These locks typically have 10 disks. You can not see all of them in that cutaway example.

by **n2oah** » 11 Dec 2005 19:27

Yup, there are 7 disks.

I was thinking 10 for some reason, but I just checked my abus padlock key and sure enough 7 cuts.

noah, did you open your lock to see what is inside?

I found 8 in my 85 50.

I assume that last disk is the disk that tensions the cylinder, and does not need to be picked. I have yet to open it up, because I don't know how to. I would like to because the lock has a thick grease for a lubricant, and it is not suitable for the lock.
Do you mean a cutaway model or just a regular 'ol Granit? A couple of days later, the seller listed a regular Granit that I wish he would've thrown in on the order. I am now thinking about building a Granit decoder and doing a demomstration of it on my cutaway.

Why do i have to be different?

My abus plus has 10 disks.

Yes the last disk is the tensioning disk, as with all disklocks (i think)

I noticed that picking would be easier if every disk was turned the all the way clockwise (the way mine unlocks) and then disks are turned the other direction. (this is also the easiest way that i found to pick Abloy classic locks)
