Keil New York "Pick Proof" Lock Breakdown with Pictures
Keil New York Super Safety "Pick Proof" lock. Apparently the company was later sued for false statements and they stopped calling it pick proof. So this is one of the earlier models of that production line. Kokomolock pointed out that this may be part of the Francis Keil and Son Lock NY company. Anyway, here is a breakdown of the lock and what makes it "Pick Proof". Whether this statement is false, I still have yet to pick it open, that small disk really does make it a pain in the ass.
Face of the lock
Back of the cylinder
Expandable mortise cylinder.
Plug with keypins, the first keypin rests upon a metal disk that prevents access to the rest of the pins. Note also the dimple in the top of the key pin.
The first key pin and how it rests on the disk when inside the cylinder.
Key pins resting on the key. All key pins are the cool bomb style pins with the exception being the first key pin.
Drivers and key pins. Note the first driver has a smaller bottom that fits into the notch of the first key pin.
The rest of the driver pins are free moving disks stacked around a central rod.
Close up of the stacked driver pin.
As per request of Awol70 I took apart one of the stacked driver pins.
The central rod is connected to the bottom disk, runs through four more disks and is capped off by a disk with a smaller diameter hole.
