Very interesting lock. Thank you for the pictures!
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the USSR
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the US
Back in the US
Back in the USSR


Sweet lock, I wish I could find things like that in my cellar! :P

that is very interesting, its kinda got that "laser" cut down the middle


how old is that, it looks pretty advanced for a lock that looks like its a few years old

it seems to be the same as the 'belllock' that was posted up a while ago, except this seems to have warding as well.

Yep, it has the 'sidewinder'/'laser' tumblers of the Bellock, but the opening mechanism is very interesting, too - you have to turn it by 90 degrees, the only you can push the key all the way through.

And when pushing it through, is works like a flat gearwheel - each 'tooth' engages with another 'tooth' of the bolt, which is therefore moved sideways.

I remember some other thread with a description of an ancient lock where these 'teeth' were spaced unevenly and the key would have to have a matching pattern. Can't exactly remember, though.

Cheers,
