Based on the standard locking cylinder that is the widely used in T-handles on vending machines, this type has the extra feature of master keying and the enhanced resistance to picking and manipulation provided by a 10 pin radial pin tumbler mechanism with over five million different key combinations.
The T8871 locking cylinder is a superior version of the standard 8871 locking cylinder. Its simplicity of design and operation and inherent strength make it extremely versatile. Master keys may be assigned, ensuring maximum key control.
The housing is die-cast alloy with a polished chrome finish and the locking mechanism is machined from brass, with a sintered metal bolt. Available with a standard bolt, flush bolt or deadbolt. An anti drill center enhances resistance to physical attack.
