The lock contains two cylinders using four rows of five segmented-pins which will increase the number of combinations.  To open this lock, we need two keys, the first is inserted on the right and will authorize the opening of the second lock, on the left.

En 1845, il envoya son gendre, Ira L. Cady, qui a \u00e9pous\u00e9 sa fille ain\u00e9e Chlotilda en 1839 [4] et obtiendra un prix pour sa &#8220;Yale&#8217;s patent lock&#8221; \u00e0 l&#8217;exposition the New York State Fair \u00e0 Utica [5]. En 1847, il s&#8217;installe \u00e0 Newport et ouvre sa boutique o\u00f9 il fabriquera des serrures de coffre enti\u00e8rement faites \u00e0 la main. La m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, il re\u00e7oit une m\u00e9daille d&#8217;argent pour une serrure de coffre remise par Mr Cady aux comit\u00e9s de la Fifth Exhibition of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association [6]. Le jury concluera que la serrure de Yale est plus s\u00e9curis\u00e9e contre le crochetage, la dynamite et la poudre noire que toutes autres \u00e0 leur connaissance&#8221;.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span style=\"color:#5e80a2\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Entre 1847 et 1849, la serrure quadruplex sera produite avec un seul cylindre dont la clef devait \u00eatre <em>orient\u00e9e correctement<\/em>, puis introduite dans la serrure. Pour ce faire, une petite croix \u00e9tait pratiqu\u00e9e entre deux rainures et servait de d\u00e9trompeur. En 1849, Mr Yale obtient un brevet pour une serrure avec plusieurs am\u00e9liorations de la serrure quadruplex (Brevet am\u00e9ricain N\u00b06,111). La serrure est constitu\u00e9e de deux cylindres utilisant quatre rang\u00e9es de cinq paires de goupilles permettant d&#8217;augmenter la puissance combinatoire. Pour ouvrir cette serrure, on a besoin de deux clefs, la premi\u00e8re est ins\u00e9r\u00e9e \u00e0 droite et autorisera l&#8217;ouverture de la seconde serrure (\u00e0 gauche). La m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, son fils, Linus Yale Jr, le rejoint dans la boutique familiale.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/quadruplex-lock-V2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1514\" width=\"1144\" height=\"920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/quadruplex-lock-V2.png 1525w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/quadruplex-lock-V2-300x241.png 300w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/quadruplex-lock-V2-1024x824.png 1024w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/quadruplex-lock-V2-150x121.png 150w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/quadruplex-lock-V2-768x618.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1144px) 100vw, 1144px\" \/><figcaption><em>US patent N\u00b06,111<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/YALE-QUADRUPLEX-1857-1860-LINUS-YALE-JR-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1521\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/YALE-QUADRUPLEX-1857-1860-LINUS-YALE-JR-1.png 5066w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/YALE-QUADRUPLEX-1857-1860-LINUS-YALE-JR-1-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/YALE-QUADRUPLEX-1857-1860-LINUS-YALE-JR-1-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/YALE-QUADRUPLEX-1857-1860-LINUS-YALE-JR-1-150x75.png 150w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/YALE-QUADRUPLEX-1857-1860-LINUS-YALE-JR-1-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/YALE-QUADRUPLEX-1857-1860-LINUS-YALE-JR-1-1536x768.png 1536w, https:\/\/lockanalyst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/YALE-QUADRUPLEX-1857-1860-LINUS-YALE-JR-1-2048x1024.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Double Yale quadruplex&#8217;s lock<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1850, Nathaniel Bacon, a lock manufacturer from Springfield, will produce the Quadruplex&#8217;s lock and pay the right to use the Yale&#8217;s patent [7].
