The BiLock EX (or BiLock NG, BiLock New Generation) is a dual-sidebar lock made by Australian Lock Company. The BiLock EX uses twelve pins arranged in two rows of six. Each row of pins uses a separate sidebar located at 3 and 9 o'clock in the plug. It also uses a moving element in the key blade which is used to position an addition component at the front of the plug. The BiLock EX is easily identified by the U-shaped key and keyway.
The BiLock EX supercedes the earlier BiLock design, which does not use. It also comes in a interchangeable core format known as the BiLock QC.
