Notice how I told you what to do in big bold red letters. I don't expect to be banned for it, likely grumbled at. But should it have been done in a purposeful thread, and caused a half-dozen other people to respond the same... what happens when I edit my post to say "Hi everyone, I'm black". Suddenly 6 people are banned for racial hate instead of responding to provocation.

Anyway. I think I've about worn out my welcome wagon and what-if ferrous wheel. Enjoy the site, and good night.

Mandatory: Legally binding actions with penalties for failing that are enforced by domestic or international courts.

where that type of lock must be used by law... which is the only way I could see that every door in the entire country have them

Feel free to contribute with more information about the locks you have in Croatia. I created a recent thread in General Chatter hoping to learn more about other country's locks, and we don't get many Croatians here.

...12PM sorry...

the way i figured what you said to me....it isnt mandatory in my country, i was exaggerating...however, almost every home has it....since it is a poor country, almost noone buys expensive locks, or multilock door. i will post a picture of most common locks here as soon as i find it...

what are you talking about, what exterior door locks...EVERY house in my neighbourhood, and my city, and my country has the lock system that inside of door looks like this

Unless I'm missing something here, that looks like a fairly cheap lever tumbler lock, but you were talking about setting pins.

Are you sure you meant pins, have I not spotted a cylinder somewhere in that photo, or have you put up the wrong photo?

(but its not mul-t-lock) and is inserted inside.
when you turn the key the lever of the lock pushes that piece of metal so it would stuck in the door therfore making it....umm...locked :D[/img]

You've posted up a picture of a euro-profile cylinder.

They can be used in mortice locks, but the hole where they go is considerably bigger than the hole in the mortice lock you posted up.

If you take a look at http://www.lockshop-warehouse.co.uk/acatalog/Union2144.gif you should see how large the hole is compared to the picture you posted.

Also from a hobbiest point of view, this part of the lock is relatively boring. Once the cylinder is picked, the lockset just operates as if a key was being used.

I think, given the thin width of the lock you've posted a picture of it is probably a 2 or 3 lever lock.

OK this is getting all over the place.

What Country are you in?
What Kind/make/model of lock are you interested in?

Both of these are important factors in the question you are asking.
