I would like to know wich are the dimple lock brands in use in US ? (apart MTL and Medeco Duracam)

I guess they are less common than in Europe but how much do you have in comparison of the classic pin locks ?

thanx in advance fro your feedback

Sargent makes a dimple lock (Sargent Keso), and have been seeing more and more of the MTL clones like Angel. A few bicycle locks use them, too. Have a trailer hitch lock that has a dimple key. There are others, too. However, they are exceedingly unusual here.

I've seen a couple of DOM's in the field and BMW used some for a time too.

:shock: Did not know that BMW used them! Learn something new everyday.

Re: dimple locks in USA ??? how many ?

I only know of a few sold in the US, and I've only ever seen 2 or 3 places where they where actually in use. Once on a vending machine, occasionally on a bike lock, and there's a local marina that uses them on the gates to access the docks. This is all excepting MTL though. MTLs are a bit more common, but still the exception rather than the rule.

Yale produces a dimple lock padlock.
