I didn't file the bicycle spoke, but I found it slipped through the rotating ward easily. If you need to, then by all means, make it thinner.

hahaa!
No more wondering how to pick my bikes lock!
nice and illuminating pics, thanks.
(i have to do the pick and try on...)

Dont try it on your bike's lock if you damage it you are in a mess if its on your bike, get a practise one instead.

shiat,
i couldn´t manage to do a proper one for the lock, it´s called trelock
and it isn´t a padlock, I just assumed that it would have the same
mechanism as the warded padlock cause the key looks very similar.
my problem seems to be the so called skeleton key moving in the lock
and not grippin to anything.
the lock is different from the one shown in this thread, as the key or pick or what ever, can be pushed almoust two times as deep as the key,
so the self made should have the same lenght as the key, or otherwise
some marks to tell the right depht..
well, i made just one, ill have to try do another one when time.
(stiff stuff these spokes, hard to bend)

wow that i didnt realize that those locks are that unsafe lol. You could just file
like half of your household items into keys that would open it o.O

Well it's better than having no lock at all, but it's not a very secure lock to be honest. The advantage of this lock is mostly the fact it resists corosion and the like where a pin tumbler would fail.

I think they are just as bad on the corrosion thing, the levers stuck together is a common complaint, i think the advantage is that they are cheap to make and look the part, the fire ones are also all keyed the same but they cant be shimmed,

The levers stick together?

[Shrub]

Everything corrodes you know, somethings oxidize rather than rust but everything degrades at some point,

Rust from the caseing or pivots etc can mix with the oxidation and make a hard crust or even simply oxidization will often see the levers stick as a whole unit.

Shrub, it's a warded lock, there are no levers!

The single moving part of this lock is the latch at the end.

I'm confused.

[Shrub]

I told you that why you no listen

Sorry big brain fart there, i knew there was a reason humans lie down and shut their eyes for more than 2 hours every night,

Carry on and ignore my posts i dont know what im on about lol

Sorry im such a noob

[illusion]

Man, insomia sucks...

Yeah, no biggie, but I was concerned that you seemed to think levers had materialised inside my padlock.

[Shrub]

Theres too many posts we need a cull lol, for some reason i read lever padlock instead of warded padlock

jeebus,i still don't know HOW these locks work.Dang i better start studying
