Talk:Disc tumbler lock

message: The correct term for this type of lock is "Disk Detainer Lock" and not "Disk Tumbler Lock". Will rename the article if there aren't any objections. --Pavithran (talk) 14:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct Term 

message: I think it's a wafer tumbler lock. I think a lot of people use "disc tumbler lock" exclusively for the Abloy type mechanism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.139.199.171 (talk) 10:15, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, there seems to be no article on that "Abloy type mechanism". Maybe someone knowledgeable could write one. I have some rough idea how it works but I don't think I'm up to the task. Ossi 09:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Moving articles should typically be done with the "move" button, since that preserves the history... copy/paste moves are problematic in that respect.  Not sure how to best fix that. --Delirium 22:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

message: Understanding of this lock would be helped by a diagram showing the internal workings, much like the one currently on the Wafer tumbler lock page. 160.129.138.186 (talk) 15:52, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

message: "Unlike a wafer tumbler lock or a pin tumbler lock, this mechanism does not use springs."
''
This is false. Regular abloy door locks use one or two springs to push the sidebar out of the correct gates. Abloy padlocks on the other hand do not have springs.. at least not to my knowledge.
How these springs might be affected by harsh conditions is unknown to me. 213.28.230.61 (talk) 11:56, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
