Abstract
Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system comprising tongue and grooves provided with protrusions and cavities which are displaceable in relation to each other and configured such that the protrusions can obtain a vertically unlocked position where they match the cavities and a vertically locked position where the protrusions overlap each other.

A set of floor panels provided with a locking system comprising a tongue at an edge of a first floor panel and a tongue groove in an adjacent edge of a similar second floor panel for connecting the edges vertically,
- wherein the tongue and the tongue groove each comprise several protrusions and cavities
- wherein the protrusions and cavities of the tongue and the tongue groove are formed in one piece with the panel,
- the locking system further comprising a locking strip at a panel edge, with an upwardly directed locking element, and a downwardly open locking groove at an adjacent panel edge for connecting the adjacent panel edges in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the adjacent edges,
- wherein the locking strip protrudes beyond an upper part of the panel edge,
- wherein the locking strip comprises several protrusions and cavities, wherein the cavities of the locking strip extend from a lowermost part of an outer edge of the locking strip to an uppermost part of the panel edge.
