The VAM8871/65 fits the standard 8839 and KL6 T-handle used in vending machines and other T-handles and applications where space is limited. The ‘V-matic’ combines strength and convenience and has been designed to be particularly resistant to external attack, including liquids such as ‘super glue’. In particular, the locking cylinder is highly resistant to drill, pull, punch, twist and picking attacks. The 8 pin mechanism provides over four million different key combinations and can be re-programmed to any of eight combinations in the event of key loss or theft, by a simple turn of a Change Key. The V-matic has an unusual and distinctive flush face.
The design, construction and materials employed give the lock a high degree of resistance to both physical attack and to the use of unauthorized duplicate keys. Design registration and patents have been granted for this lock.
The lock has a machined brass body, which is chrome plated for durability, and is available with either a standard or flush bolt. All internal components are manufactured from stainless steel. The core head is steel, heat-treated and black nickel plated, to provide both drill and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel core heads are available as an option for particularly harsh environments. The keys have a 316 grade stainless steel cup, attached to a plastic bow.
