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. | |||||||

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 As the key is withdrawn in the locked position, the side bar pins mechanically force the side bars into the locked position.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. | |||||||
