Yep, cool project. Part of the Open Source Lock.

I agree. Probably a great fan on cue sports, too, looking at all his inventions involving balls lining up.

I wonder how it feels to pick these. But I'd rather not discuss it here, as these locks are probably deemed advanced material, and I still would like to find a bi-directional Abloy-style lock w/o return bars...

Cheers,

Well, how much do you want it to be an abloy-like design? Do you want a lock exactly like the abloy, or just with disks?

With discs, and they should turn up to +/- 90 degrees depending on the cuts on the key, and they should have been returned to 0 degrees when the key is outside the lock, and I wonder if that has been done without return bars

The Abus Plus system uses an abloy type principle. But I dont believe it has a "return bar" unless you mean sidebar....it's late and I'm tired tho.

Then of course, there is this cylinder by S&G.

I couldnt read anywhere about the requirement for clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation
