Nice lock. Looks like one of their newer production 6 pins, judging by the profile it's a 2X6. Basically the same as the DTEC you got your hands on, minus the sidebar.

nah nothing special inside im sorry to report, the front pin is ready set which is prob why initially struggled as it doesnt need touching.

i think it was just all the spunk inside the lock :lol:

Was it master keyed? Usually that kind of numbering on the plug on a union cylinder is related to a masker keyed system.
