It is positioned between the 7x7 and the Interactive, with 1 special oval pin and a corresponding cut which is pre-cut in the blank.
The special pin has 3 variants, Right, Middle and Left, but only 1 length.
As with 7x7 the 30/30 length has 6 pins on each side (5 normal and 1 "special integrator pin) and sizes 35 and above have 7 pins (6 normal + 1 integrator).
It has decent drill resistance, in fact corresponds to the considerably good SKG 2 stars, inside you can find both hard metal rods and 1 ball inserted.
The best was I can describe it is that it's basically a 7x7 with an feeble attempt at better blank control. I have more than a feeling that you can mill the fitting 7x7 blank to have that special cut with any dimple key copy machine, MTL should have thought about that! Seriously
...)It also sacrifices one of the 7 (or 6 depending on size) pins for the sake of the new pin. So a 30/30 sized integrator has 5 effective pins where you can have different sizes, though admittedly the pins are made precisely and the whole lock is generally well made.
Also I appreciate the SKG2* resistance class, that is very commendable, especially since most criminals don't pick.
From a picking point of view, it's even easier than the usual 7x7.
From the locksmith's perspective it offers better drill resistance at the cost of some master keying possibilities.
And from a consumer viewpoint the new interactive plus (overtaking the old plain "interactive) offers many advantages, much more secure against breaking, significantly better blank control (and higher pick resistance), that comes at a higher price but still I would get the interactive plus.
It's easy to ID the new model when it's installed, it has a distinctive "i" on the front.
On a personal note: I think the Integrator key is nothing less than fugly, especially compared to the other multilock key head which I find nice.
The special "integrator" pin:
(2 of the same kind,just different sides, I think they're "left".)
