Overlifting pins - padlocks

Postby SnowyBoy » 2 May 2009 13:11

I've just noticed an overlift bypass on these Abus padlocks I'm cutting away. It led me to beleive that most padlocks must suffer from this as the pin stacks are so long. I'm going to make a tool this evening to bypass it as quick as if i were using the key.

Anyone got any info on other padlocks in the meantime?
What a load of old BiLocks!!!!

I'm probably 0 for 400 in looking for safes behind wall paintings

There are tools to do this, called comb picks. It works against many low-security padlocks, but locks properly pinned with balanced pin stacks are used to defeat this. Unfortunately, discussion of comb picks is restricted to the advanced forums because it is considered a form of bypass.

Yeah, I don't want to apply. I thought it worked better when you had someone in the community invite you to join.

Yeah...you'll need to apply. I don't think there are invitations.
