Force keys VACHETTE RADIALIS - Power key for French lock

Description

Power keys for emergency opening of the VACHETTE RADIALIS (French lock).

The set includes 2 key bits. The main work is done with a short key, after which the lock is forcing with a long key.

Text in the 1st video: Hello. This is Vachette Radialis. Some addition to the previous video. Now the kit will consist of two power keys. Such a small powerful key bit. Because if this cylinder is inserted into a vise, then it is quite easy to force it by power key, because it expands and is easy to turn out. But when the cylinder is inserted into the lock in the door, it has nowhere to expand, since it is held by the lock body and a very large load is needed. And in order to withstand such a large load, we will use such a key bit. Now let's try. Also such big handle is necessary. So, here is the lock, three turns. By the way, why exactly two, and not one, because for example, if we turn out by short one, then it can simply spin at idle. The core will spin, but the lock/cam will not engage. Therefore, this power key is necessary, so that when the lock spins at idle, we insert this one and finish turning it. Let's start with this, thereby expanding the hole and then use the second, stronger one. 

You don't need to load heavily. But this one can already be loaded heavily. At the same time, try to push it inside.

On occasion, you can even drive it in so that it goes further better.

A lot more effort is needed in the door, as I said, in a vice it is much easier.

Now let`s try to insert a long one. It went well to close.

The lock is open. But as you can see ... I'll try in the other direction.

This is what a forced lock looks like.

There will be two such power keys in the set. This force key is needed mainly only to complete the power twist. So that the cam of the lock begins to spin. This power key will not withstand too large loads. The entire load goes to this power key. This will be the set. The handle is not included in the set. Such handles should be used or something similar. The price will be on the website, the link is under this video.

Text in the video: Hello. Radialis Vachette, and its types: round, standard with a vertical position of the key and standard with a horizontal position. So, from these cylinders, this one can be twisted out/forced by force key. Round and this one, there is practically no chance. Only this kind is fine. Now I will demonstrate. WD lubricant is not required. Perhaps it will not be superfluous, but there is no sense from it in this case. Insert. It can enter tight, but in the process of work we will move it further forward. Start slowly, you don’t need to preassure right away, gradually, by swinging. Thus, these locks can be forced. Round hardly, horizontal hardly. Only this type. The price of the force key will be on the website, the link is under this video.
