Abstract
A lock system has lock cylinders (5) in which the rotor (9) is lodged as usual in the cylinder housing, (11) as well as lock cylinders (6) in which the rotor (10) is rotated through 180.degree. about its longitudinal axis relative to the other rotors (9). The security keys for the lock system are flat keys and not turning keys and, in the event that these are priority keys, have two completely independent key codes. The invention also provides a further possibility for increasing the number of variations of the lock and thus for increasing its security.
Claims7
A lock system comprising;
- at least one flat safety key (1), two lock cylinders (5, 6), each of which have at least one rotor (9, 10) with a key channel (7, 8) for introduction of said at least one flat safety key (1), said at least one rotor of a first lock cylinder of said two lock cylinders rotated 180.degree. about an axis of rotation with respect to a first corresponding cylinder housing (11) of said first lock cylinder in comparison to said at least one rotor within a second corresponding cylinder housing (12) of a second lock cylinder of said two lock cylinders when said at least one rotor (9) of said first lock cylinder and said at least one rotor (10) of said second lock cylinder are respectively fixed by lock rows in said first corresponding cylinder housing and said second corresponding cylinder housing,
- the lock rows being aligned and the corresponding rotor turnable within the cylinder thereon when the key is introduced into the key channel,
- said at least one flat safety key (1) being a non-reversible key having a plurality of bores with one lock code for alignment with the lock rows of said first lock cylinder or with the lock rows of said second lock cylinder,
- or having a plurality of bores with two lock codes, one code for alignment with the lock rows of said first lock cylinder and the other code for alignment with the lock rows of said second lock cylinder.
The lock system of claim 8, wherein each of said at least one rotor have different basic codes or lock codes.
