gemini has 3 rows of pins, quattro has 4. The angles the rows are set at are different too. Check out the protections-vol site - you should be able to find pictures there.

The lock sure looks very nice, but seems to work on fairly simple mechanics. Would be awesome to play around with one of these and get a good look of its intestines. Does anyone have a price-range on these babes?

Not realy to be honest,

It was the first dimple lock i got and it just feels a nice solid lock and was impressed at the time,

It took me a little while to pick as i got it when i pretty much started which i guess made me more impressed because i still had the high of thinking i could pick anything after picking a simple yale lock lol,

The genimi uses 3 rows of pins but i seem to remember a few on here suggesting that their locks didnt have full pin stacks in ever hole but mine does,

I got mine from ebay for a few pounds,

I guess its one of those things that somthing impresses you and sticks in your mind, you then use that as a bench mark for anything else that comes along,
Ive got a lot of differant types of locks but the kaba is just one of my favorites cant say exactly why i guess,
