== Principles of operation ==

The [[ABUS]] E50 utilizes a key that is bitted on one sides of the blade and is one-sided. The lock uses five chambers for pin-tumbler stacks. Each of those chambers contains a set of key pin, driver, and spring. To open the lock, all five pin-tumblers must be aligned at the [[shear line]]. ''(See also [[Pin_tumbler#Principles_of_operation|Pin-tumbler, Principles of operation]])''

ABUS utilizes a variety of security features to deter picking. Four of the driver pins are spooled [[security pin]]s. 

== Disassembly instructions ==
The use of a [[pinning shoe]] is the preferred method for disassembling a double euro cylinder. Another method is to use a [[Plug_follower |segmented follower]]. The c-clips retaining both cores must first be removed and then both cores can be pulled out slightly in order to remove the center cam. One core should be rotated to approximately 4:30 or 7:30 o'clock position -- 135 degrees either clockwise or counter-clockwise -- once the cam is removed. This allows the core to be removed without driver pins entering gaps for the cam clutch. At that point, a segmented follower can be used to remove the core.

Locks not intended for installation and use can be disassembled in a quick but destructive procedure. The cylinder housing itself can be cut in the middle using a hacksaw or grinder. The cam will no longer be held in place and can be removed. The resulting two cut half euro cylinders can then be disassembled as outlined above.
