\nthis lock is extremely rare. A US DOD lock specialist has been trying for

\nbreak the lock open. The design goal was obviously to prevent
\nunauthorized and surupticious access. The story we heard was that the
\nlock was in use at Russian embassies. Instead of importing heavy safes
\nfrom Russia they just bought a decent model on the local market. They
\nsecured the entrance of the original key hole with this lock. So in
\norder to open the safe you first need to get passed this ‘seal lock’.
\nTo open it you need to dial a combination and use a key. So it can also be
\nused in a system where two people are needed to open a specific safe.
\nOne person knows the combination and will dial it while the other
\nperson only has access to the key and operates it. The other story we
\nheard was that is was used in nuclear facilities and submarines. But
\nwe do not know for sure. We do know it is a lock with a strong ‘spy vs
\nspy’ smell.<\/p>\n
