Core Configurations & Applications
Hardware Specifications
- Triple-Action Hybrid Pin Architecture: Features 5 external key pins (Φ4.0 mm) paired with 5 internal key pins (Φ2.0 mm), 1 magnetic pin, and 1 floating pin, operating against 5 driver pins (Φ4.0 mm). The pin step is 0.5 mm, with pin lengths of 5.2, 5.5, 6.5, 6.15, and 6.65 mm. The driver pin hole diameter is calibrated to Φ4.2 mm.
- Detachable Brass Knob: Fitted with a solid brass K8 knob utilizing a detachable structure, enabling interior manual locking without an internal key.
- Multi-Point Anti-Picking Protection: Incorporates combination spool key pins, complemented by driver pins #3 and #4 engineered with dedicated anti-picking structures.
- Anti-Drilling Components: Standard physical anti-drilling pins installed in the housing (1 pin per side, Φ1.5 x 15 mm) and in the brass plug (1 pin per side, Φ1.5 x 4 mm).
- Clutch and Gear Mechanism: Incorporates a powder metallurgy iron-based clutch and an optional 10-teeth gear.
- Active Interaction Dimple Keys: Supplied with 5 dimple keys with H11 plastic heads, selectable in nickel silver or full brass, featuring embedded magnetic elements and active floating elements to align with internal pins.
Primary Application Environments
- High-Security Residential Doors: Combines external triple-verification key entry (telescopic pins + magnetic pin + floating pin) with convenient keyless interior thumbturn locking.
- Commercial Offices & Suites: Suitable for executive offices, conference spaces, and interior partitions requiring internal thumbturn access and restricted key duplication.
- Institutional Facilities: Applicable for facilities requiring integration into structured Master Key Systems or staged construction key setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
The interior K8 thumbturn directly actuates the cam to unlock or lock the door without requiring a key. From the exterior, the cylinder plug can only be rotated when the dimple key aligns the concentric inner and outer telescopic pins at the shear line, interacts with the internal magnetic pin via the key’s magnetic element, and actuates the floating pin simultaneously.
