The cylinder core rotates when the key is turned. It also contains all the tumblers (core tumblers), which are pins of the correct length to match the profile of the key.
The core can only rotate if the pin-shaped locking devices do not block the key’s rotation. Keys with the wrong profile cannot adjust the pins so that the core is no longer blocked by the locking devices.

Who counts among our customers
Due to our company policy, we receive numerous orders from a wide variety of customers. We also constantly receive calls and emails from numerous authorities and offices requesting important metalworking services on specific dates. For example, we are often deployed with police, customs, or tax officials. Things can get pretty hectic here, especially if a crime or offense has been committed.
It’s not uncommon for us to have to testify as witnesses because we have seen things during our (actually) metalworking assignments that ultimately ended up in court. We also receive some orders from veterinary authorities when it comes to rescuing animals or pets from a building or apartment because they are being held captive and, in the worst cases, abused and tortured.
Our commercial customers also include many different businesses, companies, and businesses. We receive orders for all types of metalworking from boards of trustees, retirement homes, facilities of all kinds (e.g. assisted living), property management companies, facility management firms, janitorial companies, property management companies, warehouse management companies, building management companies, cooperatives and many others.
All of these customers rely on our service and trust that we apply our fixed-price policy. If we were acting dishonestly, we as a locksmith in Munich certainly wouldn’t have so many different customers and customer groups!
