Cepasaccus wroteIf you are referring to my posting: The protection against explosives is a feature of the Lafette as it closes the key hole, not the Protector (the key lock).
Yes, I was referring to the Lafettes used specifically on the Kromer Protectors.
While the Lafette shaft does indeed close the keyhole like you say, my point is that it offers zero protection against explosives because it can easily be removed from the door- nothing to do with the Kromer Protector lock whatsoever.
Once removed, it gives even more ‘access room’ over the locks for manipulation or explosives attack than a normal keyhole would.
Older Lafette versions and those by Bode Panzer and Garny might well be assembled or fastened from the inside of the door preventing removal- it would make far more sense. The Lafette shaft might also be locked or ‘checked’ by the secondary lock preventing its operation when the unit is locked. This would make a big difference.
