Magnetic Repulsion Floating Pins: Contactless Pick-Tool Immunity

Engineering Overview: Technical overview of floating magnetic pins in high-security cylinders, providing complete immunity to physical lock picks and tension tools.

Technical & Engineering Specifications

Standard VdS High Security Class BZ+
Actuation Contactless Magnetic Repulsion & Polarity Gating
Technology Permanent Neodymium (NdFeB N52) Magnetic Tumblers
Pick Resistance 100% Immune to Mechanical Tension & Lock Picks

Contactless Magnetic Actuation

Magnetic Cylinder Cores integrate floating Neodymium magnetic tumblers that are repelled by matching permanent magnets embedded in the key blade.

Zero Mechanical Feedback

  • No Keyway Contact: Because magnetic pins float without physical keyway contact, tension tools and picks cannot apply tactile tension.
  • Optical Immunity: Cannot be visually decoded or photographed from key blanks.

Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions

Q1: Why are magnetic lock cylinders impossible to pick with standard tools?

The locking pins do not touch the keyhole and are moved only by magnetic fields, so lock picks cannot physically feel or lift them.
