Lockwood Twin Security Keying System

The Lockwood Twin Security Keying System introduces a revolution in cylinder design. It delivers vast improvements in building security. Lockwood Twin doubles your security with a dual pinning mechanism combining six pin inline with three pin factory side code. The side code acts on a side bar in the cylinder. Each key also has a unique design registered pattern of side grooves incorporated in the profile. Keys can be cut only on special high-precision machinery.
