Abus Everest keyway core doesn't have an Everest check pin

[OrMeanGene]

I just bought an Abus 83/45 with the 323 core (everest). They dont explain that the locks do NOT have the slider or even a place to put a slider. Thats pretty shifty. Comes with the everest key, has slider cut. Anyone else make this mistake? Dont even know how to handle this, if i can even handle.

Yes. That side pin. Its got 6pin cyl, but not the side. I thought it was a slider. Looked like slider. Key has the cut for it too. Flase advertising

did you contact the seller to ask about it?

Hardware store. I was speaking Spanish... check pin not slider also.

if you can snap a pics of everything, its hard to see what you mean without a way to see it
I have not had any problems with anything from ABUS but there is a chance that something got messed up in the factory.

[OrMeanGene]

Just has 6 pins, nothing else

So there is no pin in the back of the keyway?

ABUS is a pretty good company. If you received a bad part, they will replace it. Calling them deceptive as hell and throwing out claims of false advertising seem a bit inflammatory if you haven't given them the opportunity to fix the problem.

There is no place for the pin anywhere on the cylinder. Manufactured that way. You own a 83/45 with 323 cylinder that has a pin?

It isn't defective. This is so that you can key into a system with the Everest keyway. They make a C123 and a C145 as well as one that is a composite. If you want a real Everest cylinder you can buy the Abus that accepts a kik cylinder.

Thanks cledry for the clarification.

OrMeanGene, how about a different tittle for the topic? This one looks written by a disappointed and angry customer, and now you should only be disappointed.

Cheers

No they've never had the slider, probably aren't allowed to mfg it due to schlage patents. I will also note the new GMS brand cylinders for Everest do not either. As mentioned you will need to buy the less cylinder version and add a OEM schlage Everest if you want the slider pin

[OrMeanGene]

Ya thats pretty crappy that they dont tell you this. You cant even add the pin yourself, since theres no spot for it. Still disappointed. Thanks cledry for that. Im sure i have an abus somewhere that accepts kik lol(for cledry).

And saying that their deceptive isnt a knock that all abus is crap and angry. Im not writing from place of anger. I love abus locks, have a bunch, and will continue to own.

Semi deceptive as hell.
You made me laugh.

Just to avoid misunderstanding, I would have thought too that a padlock with an everest key came with an everest lock. In this case it's just a padlock compatible with an everest system. So I would be disappointed too.

The reason I suggested you to change the thread title is simple. You assumed one thing and they meant another one. I don't believe they tried to scam you. So deceptive as hell seemed a bit angry to me.
Just a friendly suggestion, not a moderator request.

Cheers

Are you sure the key was supplied by ABUS? Not by the seller?
