Abloy Novel is a BS EN 1303:2005 rated disc-detainer lock. Novel cylinders use 11 or 9 discs that interface with a sidebar, 2 return bars, and a disc controller. The cylinder can rotate both clockwise and counter clockwise. Novel is very similar to Abloy Protec, but the discs lack the bottom notches used in the “Disc Blocking System” (DBS) in Protec.
Principles of operation
The Novel works by using angled bitting cuts on the key to properly rotate discs. The key is inserted and rotated 90°; the angled cuts on the key in rotate the discs in the lock. If all the discs are rotated to the correct position the sidebar can fall into the discs and the plug can be rotated. Washers are placed between discs to ensure that the key rotates each disc individually. Novel uses the Abloy “Anti Wear System” (AWS), with an anti-wear disc behind the rear zero-disc.
Notes:
- Novel padlocks do not use the Disc Controller system but instead use a Disc Steering System (DSS).
