    Turns out there are several versions of the unit lock. Cleveland Key did not have the one I was thinking of, but did have two more versions. The darker one is very much like the original posted, but had 2 visible pins to allow disassembly. I will post that one first.

    It is seldom possible to integrate single shear line cylinders into a master ring system after the fact. Doing so normally creates key interchange and/or places limitations on system expansion.*

    I suspect that ASSA ABLOY will likely discontinue their venerable master ring system, which has been in use for 130 years; at some time in the future due to limited demand and complexity to manufacture. My 2 cents.

    Beautiful locks - Doug, those look like they are from the display case inside the front door?
    I have a bin full of different master ring cylinders - knob, mortise, and even one rim!
    Tell Bruce I said hello.
