Project Abloy: Complete !

I got the parts today, assembled it, got into a couple of problems, solved them and finished it. This project allowed me to learn everything about protec cylinders and also, let me gain a sens of pride. It's been approximately 2 months i've been on this project, some poeple might say ‹‹ Jeez ! What took you so long ?! ›› well, the answer to that is, I took my time because I did not want to scrap an expensive lock.

Anyways, here are some pictures of the completed lock !

Scanlock cutaway

Another successful cutaway !
Today I decided to take apart my Scanlock just to see if it was possible to cut it away and I found that I could, so, I did it .

Again, this was all done by hand using mini-files, no angle grinder though :)

The cutaway shows the inner workings of the cylinder, example: sidebar retracting, bottom pins to shear line the side pins etc..

Here are some pictures:

Masterlock 930/6230 cutaway

Well, I had nothing to do today, so I decided to make a cutaway. I did the 930 because it has a removable core and it's easy to work with. This was all done on the angle grinder and some mini-files for the small details. For me, it's still not factory-like and it still needs some work, but i'll get it done when I have the correct tools. Here are some pictures:

Pfaffenhain "Integral" cutaway

I guess during the time this Abloy 340 is being finished, we can have a little fun. Anyways, here's the Pfaffenhain Integral cutaway. For the description, well, I don't feel like copy/pasting Han Fey's article about Pfaffenhain locks, here's the link to the pdf.
