I was wondering if anyone has any info about that lock.. Its rated as a "high security padlock" by the finnish insurance companies so it must be quite
secure :) ... Is it some sort of lever lock or what? The key looks weird..

Looked it up in my catalogue and it retails for £60 in the uk so must be half decent.It looks like it has 2 sets of pins, one row either side, judging from the key cuts.

High security wafer lock. The split core makes applying tension rather difficult but you can do it with two two-pronged tension wrenches jammed into the keyway (the flat tension wrenches, not the wishbone type). Then either rake it with a DeForest or pick it wafer by wafer.
It's not the tools that open the lock. It's me.

Just don't confuse it with those cheap wafer desk locks, a well machined wafer lock can be very secure.
As for interesting Burgwächter locks, try the Diamant or Gamma700. 6 pins, all mushroom, makes for an interesting experience usually.
