The '''TK5''' is a [[Pin_tumbler |pin-tumbler]] lock made by the German company [[IKON]].

__TOC__

== Principles of operation ==
The TK5 contains five traditional pin-tumblers at the top of the keyway. It also utilizes four [[Side pin|finger pins]] that must be rotated and lifted to shear line in order for the cylinder to turn and open the lock.

== Disassembly instructions ==
The TK5 is disassembled in the same way as other [[Euro Profile|euro profile]] cylinders though extra attention must be paid to the sidebar and side pins during disassembly.

The use of a [[Plug_follower#Pinning_shoe|pinning shoe]] is the preferred method for disassembling a double euro cylinder. Another method is to use a [[Plug follower|segmented follower]]. The c-clips retaining both cores must first be removed and then both cores can be pulled out slightly in order to remove the center cam. One core should be rotated 30-45 degrees either clockwise or counter-clockwise -- once the cam is removed. This allows the core to be removed without driver pins entering gaps for the cam clutch. At that point, a segmented follower can be used to remove the core.

Locks not intended for installation and use can be disassembled in a quick but destructive procedure. The cylinder housing itself can be cut in the middle using a hacksaw or grinder. The cam will no longer be held in place and can be removed. The resulting two cut half euro cylinders can then be disassembled as outlined above.
