OPERATING PRINCIPLES

All ABLOY®
locks are based on the unique operating principle of rotating detainer
discs. Inside the ABLOY®
cylinder, a series of discs rotate and function like those in a safe.
Only the correct key, turned 90 degrees, will rotate the discs aligning
the side bar gates. After the discs are aligned to the correct opening
combination, the locking bar drops into the aligned slot allowing
the lock to open. To withdraw the key it must be turned in the reverse
direction until it stops. This will mechanically scramble the discs.

ABLOY®
EXEC locks are based on the same unique operating principle
as the original ABLOY®
cylinder, utilizing an advanced Disc Steering System. This
disc steering system contributes to an easy, smooth operation without
resistance. The major difference offered by the ABLOY®
EXEC is an improved, user-friendly function. When operating
an ABLOY®
EXEC lock, the key will not turn until fully inserted in
the keyway. At this point, mechanically operated parts inside the
lock will allow the key to turn. The absence of pins and springs ensures
durability and reliable operation as well as resistance to environmental
conditions. |

ABLOY® PROTEC keys are cut
on two different radii, disks are blocked at their position after
a quarter turn by the return bars. Return bars also scramble the disks
during key exit and hold disks at position to prevent picking and
false opening. Disc Steering System guides the key into the lock with
no resistance for less key wear. Patented and highly restricted, ABLOY®
PROTEC has over 1 billion useable combinations, no code is ever
repeated. ABLOY® PROTEC has also proven to have an incredible
resistance to physical attack and environmental situations, while
being pick proof and bump proof. |

ABLOY® PROTEC CLIQ cylinder contains
mechanical cylinder structure of unique ABLOY® PROTEC
construction with nine discs. In addition the cylinder contains
ABLOY® PROTEC CLIQ cylinder electronics which controls
electronic blocking system. This electronically controlled cylinder
blocking is realized by using a small electric motor to guide the
turning of one detainer disc. Cylinder has no electric power. This
means no need of wires or battery change to the cylinders.

The ASSA®
5-Pin Cylinder combines strength and reliability with a
pin tumbler operation. A series of 5 pin tumblers provide strong
pick resistance and extensive master keying capabilities. The heavy
duty brass cylinder is designed to provide lasting durability.

With the ASSA®
Desmo Precision Drive™
System, locking pins are moved mechanically by the side cuts on the
key. Once all the pins are properly aligned, they create two channels
for locking side bars, which interlock the cylinder housing and inner
cylinder. As the key turns the inner cylinder, the side bars are forced
into the unlocked position, which allows the cylinder to turn. As
the lock is operated, the side bar pins hold the key in place. This
minimizes wear on the key and the pins. As the key is withdrawn in
the locked position, the side bar pins mechanically force the side
bars into the locked position. This provides a clear path for key
removal. |
