American Lock 1205

by **bedheadben** » 4 Feb 2007 5:45

Hello, I was just wondered if any of you guys have picked the American Loxk 1205 padlock? The reason I'm asking, is because I took mine apart to find it was 6-pinned, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of the driver pins was a spool with serrations! You may ask, how is that possible? Well, this is how: both the top and bottom parts of the spool (the wider parts) each had one serration in them. I couldn't even get one pin, it was freaking impossible!

Anyone else have any luck?

Ben.

yeah american can be a realy SOB to work on
and all american locks have the serrations that you mentioned... there are a few breakdown photos around

also note you sig is too large site rules say it must be no larger then 500x80 Pixels

Cheers

Thank you, and I'll fix that sig right now.

GAH! Where's the edit button? But ya, that is one wierd driver pin, I guess that means I'm gonna have to go get a kwikset deadbolt to practice on instead. And yes, I'm fixing that sig thing now.

I couldn't find those of the 1205 being picked, but it's no big deal.

Wow, I've actually never tried picking that?

Do you know where they sell those? I check (USA) my local OSH, Target, and Wallmart.. do I have to visit a lock smith?
