Lynx and Rielda--VERY cool, rekeys instantly(NO electronics)

[unbreakable]

Wow, what a cool lock

They'd be especially useful in apartment buildings and the like, where the locks have to be changed everytime a new tenant moves in.

A little pricy, but maybe they'll come down a bit in price?

Probabley not

Zeke, I stand corrected. I thought that Lynx was a different brand to Rielda. Maybe they have resurrected the rights from whoever made Rielda. I am pretty sure that Rielda went out of business but I could be wrong. Some google sleuthing is required.

I would say that if you pick it, it would be OK as long as you don't turn it to the key change position. If you did, then it would disengage the racks and you would have to reinsert the key to get it back to normal.

The german company DOM has one of those locks in their dimple lock product line IX10 too (don't know the exact name).
It's supplied with 7 keys: 3 code#1, 3 code#2 and 1 key to change from code #1 to #2.

Yes, but those locks only change one (or a few) of the pin stacks, e.g. by moving a part of the pin stack into a special chamber - afterwards you need another key, that's however still similar to the old key.

The Lynx and Rielda locks change the whole key code - I find that's even a nicer piece of engineering.
