Voting Guidelines

  • Tier 1 - At least one good quality cutaway
  • Tier 2 - 2 good cutaways of separate locks or one of extraordinary quality. Leniency for handmade.
  • Tier 3 - Portfolio of at least 5 good quality cutaways, including two from mechanisms other than pin tumbler, or a double locking mechanism.
  • Tier 4 - Portfolio of at least 10 cutaways of high quality, including complex mechanisms, innovations, and various non pin tumbler mechanisms.
  • Tier 5 - Significant portfolio of advanced cutaways. Recognized community wide as an expert cutaway lockmaker. Fabrication and distribution of rare high quality cutaways.

Cutaway locks should be completely functional with a working key. Exceptions to this rule might be considered if the mechanism doesn’t allow it in any obvious way, but the maker must justify this.
