Yes, I did post it as a joke. However, somebody else put that DiskLock KIK into the Schlage housing. It had no key, so keyed it to another key in my possession.
The lock was in a bag of Abloy locks and parts given to me by a local lockie. They said they had not cut an Abloy key in over 10 years, and had no use for the stuff in the bag. 2 locks with keys and cards (one a classic mortise, one a DiskLock mortise), this lock, four other DiskLocks without keys (half euro, 2 cam locks, and another mortise), 8 more cut keys, and the grand prize... a pair of padlocks (also DiskLock), keyed alike, one being a factory cutaway!
The only downside to the padlocks is that, while keyed alike, there is no key. Being a cutaway, sure that using advise that Wizer (GREAT guy) gave me, will try making a key. This being an open forum, not advanced, please don't ask me for his advise!
Needless to say, I was astounded at the gift of Abloy, and appropriately thankful. And it wasn't even my birthday!

Just when you finally think you have learned it all, that is when you learn that you don't know anything yet.
Yes, the new Schlage Disklock. As bump-proof as an Abloy! It was tossed in with a Box-o-Abloys. I just about flipped when I saw it. 
And yes, the key (now) works perfectly.
