What is a Dimple Lock?

A Dimple Lock is a cylinder lock with a key that has deep notches instead of traditional cuts. These notches correspond with vertical pins in the cylinder. This type of lock is also used in European cylinder locks with a horizontal keyhole.

Why choose a Dimple Lock?

Dimple Locks offer high security because they are harder to manipulate than regular pin-tumbler locks. The keys are more difficult to copy, as they require special equipment. Additionally, they are symmetrical, making them smooth to use.

Abus uses this dimple technology to make their locks extra secure.

How does a Dimple Lock work?

Dimple Locks use pin-tumbler technology. The difference from traditional locks is that the pins are moved vertically. When the correct key is inserted, all the pins are set to the correct height. This allows the cylinder to turn and the lock to open.

A Dimple Lock consists of a special key with notches, multiple sets of pins (standard, spooled, or serrated), and a cylinder in which everything works together. High-quality Dimple Locks sometimes have additional security features such as side bars or magnetic components.

Can a Dimple Lock be opened with lockpicking?

Although Dimple Locks are safer than regular cylinder locks, they can still be opened with special techniques and a Dimple Pick Set. This requires practice and the right approach.

How does the lockpicking process work with a Dimple Lock?

First, tension is applied to the lock with a tension tool. Then, the pins are raised one by one to the correct height with a dimple pick. When all the pins are in the correct position, the cylinder turns and the lock opens. Read more about how lockpicking works.
