I believe there are 3 possible depths of dimples for the side ball bearings, which are employed in some other ABUS Pfaffenhain cylinders. Although they apparently offer little in terms of pick resistance, I believe they are used to extend the possible number of operating keys since they are an active element, abet with a bunch of added complexity.
Hopefully it’s a good enough addition to your collection. It’s a really wacky design, and I really wanna see how good this thing would be with better tolerances
Spot on picking and explanation as always, I still have quite a few of your vids to watch
And locks to try and understand, well done,billbo.
Hah, love to hear your progress! Hope the videos inspire you to try a few of the locks you see :)
Very interesting choice of cylinder!
First time I see this cylinder
Excellent pick
Thank you! Hope it showed you some useful tips!
nice vid as always norlin, super interesting and fun lock to pick, nice to see a great video of it :)
Appreciate your tuning in! Thanks!

Ahhh thank you for stopping by and providing some great information!

It's a lock I didn't have and a very unique one! Hopefully they'll execute on it better in the future and we'll end up with a beast.
@@norlin76 hopefully! Would be really exciting
What brand of tool , of hook you have?
Using a prototype by Jimy Longs, looks like the deep hook. He has them for sale now, updated a little since the prototype: jimylongs.com/products/
