Question on Abloy Classic discs.

[cheerIO]

I recently got a used Abloy re-keying kit and have some questions on the different discs in the kit. The discs are 11.8 mm:



My first question is, is there a difference between the discs with the square cut in them as opposed to the round cut?



I know that early Abloys had a round sidebar and the later ones have gone to an L-shaped sidebar that can't be pulled. Are the round cuts only for the round sidebars? In looking at Gordon's post about re-keying the Abloy, he seems to have both cuts. But the square cuts seem to be on the ends. I can't test to see if the square ones have enough clearance because I have a cam lock that is missing its sidebar. Does anyone have the diameter of the sidebar for this lock?

Question 2: Is the bottom left disc for the bottom of the stack? If so, why the second cut that would clear the sidebar when in the locked position?

Question C: Am I correct in labeling the other two "closest to the bow"? Why is one brass? Why the second cuts?

I believe my kit is complete, I have the spacers and the locking springs for the ends of the plugs. Just that I seem to have 1/3 the amount of the square cut discs compared to the round hole ones.

That looks great. I'll read over it tonight.

Thanks.

Usually you can use both types of discs (with round or square cut), there is enough room. Sometimes using old and mixed parts makes opening sticky. I have used a round file on the slots to make the lock work smooth.
I think the 2-cut discs can be used on a reverse-cut (mirror image) Classics. Those are rare.
The key cuts, and discs, are from zero to five. 0=uncut, 5=90degrees. So a random keycode would look like this: 052240230
There are 3 sizes of Abloy Classic discs. You can´t flip the discs around on other sizes. For example there are separate discs for 2 and 3 cuts.
