Just a terminology nitpick from a pedantic locksmith: The part on the right is called a cylinder. The part inside it that turns when you stick the key in is called the plug. The little spring loaded metal wafers in the plug that correspond to the cuts in the key are the tumblers. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Lastwagen" '90 Vanagon GL - "Wiesel" |
