General Information

The ALPHA Twin 6000 System, The ALPHA Twin Exclusive System and The Twin Exclusive Cylinder Program

ASSA introduced the ALPHA System of key control programs to meet the security requirements of locksmiths, distributors and end users. The Twin Exclusive System is an extension of the Twin 6000 patent. The Twin Exclusive was introduced as an upgrade to the ASSA Twin 6000 program, introducing new patented keyblanks based on the Twin V-10 patent and new key profiles offering a low cost advantage for extending patent protection for the end user. The system consists of virtually the same programs as ALPHA and Twin V-10 Cylect. Briefly, the system consists of four programs:

TEL/Gamma	Locally exclusive keyways for locksmiths
TER/Beta	Regionally exclusive keyways for locksmiths
TED/Delta	Nationally exclusive keyways for distributors
TEE/Alpha	Regionally exclusive keyways for end-users, sold through normal channels of distribution.

The Twin V-10 Cylect Cylinder Program

The Twin V-10 was introduced as an upgrade to the ASSA Twin 6000 program, introducing new patented keyblanks and key profiles. The system consists of virtually the same programs as ALPHA:

C2L	Locally exclusive keyways for locksmiths
C2R	Regionally exclusive keyways for locksmiths
C2D	Nationally exclusive keyways for distributors
C2E	Regionally exclusive keyways for end-users, sold through normal channels of distribution.

Keyway Information

Each key control program in the ALPHA and Twin V-10 systems utilizes a standard cylinder plug profile (broaching). Various sidebar codes are used to create different keyways. Keyblanks produced after August 1988 are stamped with complete keyway code, e.g., 507-51. Please include keyway code and profile when ordering keys, keyblanks and cylinders, except SNS cylinders. (See Cylinder form, below).
