Awesome find!
When I saw 'Keymark' on the lock I assumed it was pretty much a Medeco cylinder w/ sidebar. However, in the Features/Benefits table on the first page it says Feature: "Uses common style pins" Benefit: "No angle tip or interlocking pins which result in loss of keying capacity" So, no sidebar I assume. If so, it kind of amuses me that this company brags about some of their locks having angle tipped pins and a sidebar which resists picking. Basically, their selling point for one lock is what they are putting down when trying to sell another one.
