Old English Style

Hey,
How does an "Old English" style lock work, and can it be picked using standard picks? I have tried searching but have come up with nothing.

Thanks

i have no idea what type of lock you are talking about

Are you reading that off a packet? if so thats the design,

On the sort of locks that have a design on the packageing instead of lock make etc they tend to be of very poor quality and very easily picked,

If by old english style you are refering to lever locks then thats what they are called and you need to read the european section,

At least put a country in your profile so we know where you are in the world and then a picture of the lock would be the best next step,

Ah, an old english style padlock,

They are lever locks and you need to read up on the various guides to pick them, try illusions then my 2 in 1 thread,

I cut one of these up for site and the pics are posted somewhere, there are a few threads floating around on these locks,

If you have further questions AFTER reading the reccomended threads then dont hesitate to post back any thing you want to know,

That is of course assumeing its one of those locks (which now seems likely, thanks nekret),

Thanks. Sorry, I should have posted a pic, but I assumed that it was a common style of lock commonly referred to as "old english". Maybe it is because I am english that I have heard it called by this name.

Im in the uk as well but i also have old english marmalade in the fridge, an old english sheep dog, old english books etc etc,

Old english is just one of those snobby names given as a description for things so they sound posher than simply saying it looks like a old piece of crap,

Heh. I was tempted to guy buy a 40 of OE800 and put some padlocks around it and take a photo. But then I remembered, I would probably have to drink the stuff.
