Locksmith Trade Nomenclature.

Jun 28, 2005 0 Replies

ALOA puts out a great glossary. It's vital, almost essential within any specialty to have a common nomenclature. In a KIK or KIL cylinder, I can thing of these terms to describe things. Cylinder, plug, bible, chamber, bottom pin, master pin, driver or top pin, cap, retainer, retainer spring, core, keyway, shear line, spring, pin stack, plug face, tail-piece.



Help me out here guys, I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot. What do you call things down under?
