Looking for certain type of lock, has cogged discs.

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Looking for certain type of lock, has cogged discs.

Basically, I had an idea for a lock in my head the other day and was convinced it was my own fresh idea, but I do recall seeing a lock a loooong time ago which might be what i was thinking back to.

Basically the key has tracks on it like a straightened out clock gear.... the nthe discs inside are like clock gears with a bar that fits into the notches like on an Abloy.

Does anyone know the type of lock I am reffering to?
What a load of old BiLocks!!!!

I'm probably 0 for 400 in looking for safes behind wall paintings

Fichet does a lot with gear wheels, like the new F3D, or the older 787. The keys don't have teeth, though.

I was thinking more of a barrel with about 10 discs and a key with serated tracks
