Protecting High-Value Multi-Point Gearboxes
Forcing heavy pipe wrenches on a key can destroy expensive internal multi-point lockcase gearboxes inside the door.
Calibrated Shear Pin
- 18 N·m Shear Limit: A precision brass pin connects the plug to the cam with a calibrated shear threshold of $18\text{ N}\cdot\text{m}$.
- Controlled Failure: Excessive torque shears the pin, spinning the plug harmlessly without damaging the internal lockcase deadbolt.
