The angle lock is often used when the piston ring is running over in- and outlet gates used in hydraulic applications.

 Also, the distance that gases or liquids must traverse is longer than in a Butt joint, so the medium experiences more resistance, resulting in a better seal. Often the left and right locks alternate to enhance this effect even more by way of a labyrinth effect. A variant of this type of lock is the radial angled lock.
