DOM ix-10 KG +historic links

[Schuyler]

OK!

So, I got these today:


Big box of Dom ix 10 kgs

Bought them expecting half to have keys, turned out to be a GGMK system, with two GGMKeys plus about 50 blanks, so, in effect, I have keys for every lock in the bunch. Really happy with this purchase.

If you haven't read it already, now's a perfect time for Han Fey's Dom article:
http://www.toool.nl/dom-ix.pdf

I think page 11 for my lock...could be wrong, too tired to load up the pdf right now.

And a quick trip through time so I can not only post my own breakdown photos, but also show of the often much better photos of other folks who've worked on other generations of DOM locks:

Anyhow, on to todays photos:


Lock and keys, these have the floating ball in the key which is really better displayed and explained in Han's paper than I could ever do here for you.


A breakdown of all the bits and pieces. See the flat part of the plug? That plastic thing on the left, in between the tailpiece and the bible cover (name?) sits in there, giving the face of the lock a balanced keyway, unlike most Dom's I've seen that have it open on one end or the other. Nothing too special about it, just interesting.


Just another angle on it. The lot came with 3 badly damaged, no-keys cylinders that I took apart today. This isn't actually 1 lock, but rather the correct number of parts from a bag full of parts. The pin stacks should be even, I did a decent job of arranging them, I think. Mean little security pins here and there. Cool locks, in general.


Just a nice photo of the plug...and my wicked dirty fingers.

Enjoy!

have ya picked it?

Nope, but I'm pretty excited to take a crack at a few. You see, I've had these dimple tools, but no locks to use them on

I would buy one from you

Very cool, man you are going on a rampage. I thought it was going to take a while for more post of disassembles and not just the next afternoon.

Han Fey's article is great but I like your picks of the disassembly more because you lay everything out to see.

Nice purchase by the way.

Thanks, I believe I've got two more in me for tonight / tomorrow. An adjustable Yale mortice cylinder and a cool lock who's name I do not know. I've got he packaging and got it from Japan. Very neat system and a real surprise when I opened it up. Nothing complex, just cool pins and an interesting placement of things.

Out of necessity I've had to be somewhat removed from LP101 for a while. I've had a lot of this stuff built up, but just haven't had the time to sit down, pull a lock apart and take pictures in a LONG time. Hence the sudden rush of them.

[greyman]

let us know how long you take to pick one and if it's got spools or all straight pins, etc. Nice stash by the way
