Nagasawa's "Keylex" series of mechanical cryptographic locks

A new product with a stylish design added to the "Keylex" series of mechanical cryptographic locks is a hot topic. Nagasawa Seisakusho (Arashiyama-cho, Saitama Prefecture), the manufacturer and distributor of the product, has released the "Keylex 3100" as a successor model to the type in which the PIN number can be easily changed from inside the room. It has a slender body called a narrow frame with a streamlined design at the bottom. The width of the body has been reduced by 40%, from 66mm to 40mm. "In order to make the parts smaller, assembly was very difficult. Akimaru Watanabe, director of the company, says, "It was very difficult to assemble to make the parts smaller, so we made the design as small as possible. Matte black is the first color variation. Combined with a slender body, it will be "easy to match with various scenes.
