Hi

I was browsing the net looking for a new front door lock and I stumbled across this lock: a 15 pin lock

I was wondering id anyone has any experience with this lock or any euro cylinder with 15 pins!

Everything depends on how the pins are oriented. Ive seen the following styles

\|/ _|_

Kaba uses the first style on their Gemini locks, its a real pain to pick. The second style I have seen, on cruciform locks, but I dont have a manufacturer name. The cruciforms can be picked without a big hassle, but the Kaba is just a nightmare. Try thinking of the lock as 3 locks in one housing. Its not quite correct, but it is a good place to start.

That logo rimembered me something ...
MG Serrature is an Italian lock company, their cylinders are widely used in Italy. I've seen plenty of their standard cylinders around but I've never met this one.

Their website is: http://www.mgserrature.it/ but there are no much details in there.

What I've understood is that there are two versions of that lock:
HS - 15 pins;
HSP - 15 pins with mobile element inserted in the key (DOM "style");

If you want a look at the key with the mobile element you can follow this link: HSP
