HIGH SECURITY LOCKS / KEY CONTROL

In addition to six cuts for standard locking mechanism, there are five side finger pins to operate the secondary sidebar lock. These 5 cuts on the right side of the key don't only lift the finger pins, but also rotates them to allow the sidebar to fall in place. The finger pins have six possible positions. The six possible positions are: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT or CENTER. All of this on a normal six pin vertical tumbler mechanism. Primus keys will operate non-Primus locks within the same system. Primus blanks and key ways are slightly thinner to prevent the entry of non-Primus keys, however even if a standard key is altered to allow entry, it will not operate Primus locks.

EASY TO INCORPORATE INTO AN EXISTING SCHLAGE LOCK

Primus cylinders are compatible with most Schlage key systems. A simple and cost affective way to enhance security and key control.

This deadbolt is bump key and pick resistant. Schlage primus high security cylinder provides double locking system. These "dual-locking" cylinders consist of two independent locking mechanisms operated by a single, specially designed Primus key. In addition to a standard 6-pin mechanism there is a locking sidebar which is independently controlled by a set of five finger pins that interface with the side bitting on the patented Primus key. Each finger pin must lifted and swiveled to the right orientation.

Also, Primus key is to protect against unauthorized duplication. The key blanks are distributed through select locksmiths who are assigned unique ID number. End users are issued an I.D card which must be presented to us to obtain additional keys.
