Dynamic Key Authentication
Static metal cuts can be replicated via casting or high-precision 3D scanning. Interactive Dimple Keys embed moving internal components.
Mechanical Interaction
- Spring-Loaded Key Detent: A miniature spring and plunger embedded inside the key blade.
- Active Pin Lift: When inserted, the plunger expands under internal cylinder camming action to lift a secondary locking pin, authenticating genuine factory keys.
Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions
Q1: How do spring-loaded key detents prevent key copying?
The key contains an active moving spring plunger that must physically expand inside the lock to open it, which static metal or plastic copies cannot do.
