Today my friend asked me to open his door, because he fold his keys.

In the lock, there is a ROTO lock.... nice to pick, but i think the bumpkey is faster now, so I started to bump.
Can't open under 1-2 minute, i'tried to rake it, madness I think but try it....and open.

I've never raked out a roto, so I think it's more than simple luck :twisted:

The plug on that roto lock looks similar to the iseo plug on their euro's.

They look similar because of the groove on the plug face. The ISEO F5 you see in the picture has a wider keyway, offering more room to move your pick.

Cheers :)

Maybe a bit off topic , but what key blank can you use for these ?
I just had to cut a key for one and had to use a universal blank. But a longer than usuall one.
