If you are unfamiliar with the workings of an Abloy lock, allow me to briefly explain it to you. The lock uses a key that looks similar to this, depending on the profile. It also uses disks, the deeper the cut on they key, the less the disk rotates. The disks have small slots on them, as well as false grooves to make picking more difficult, these slots when improperly aligned hold a small locking bar up in a groove in the lock housing, and when they are properly aligned the bar falls into the slots, and the cylinder can rotate. The last disk in the pack is what actually turns the lock, it turns a full 90 degrees when the key is inserted, because of this, it is usually used to apply tension when picking the lock. This Abloy Profile cam cylinder contains 11 disks, and 11 spacers and uses the older type of locking bar(the newer ones are shaped in an L to prevent pulling attacks). It has several “anti-pick” disks, that have a hemisphere cut out of them, to make it harder to manipulate the disk with some type of tool. It also has an odd profile that looks a lot like a D, but has a small protrusion in the upper right hand corner. Note: If you own a lock like this, and would like to disassemble it all you have to do is remove a small clip at the rear of the lock.
