Godrej Nav-tal 6 levers, housing removed

[liffa]

On my latest business trip to India i bought a pile of the most common locks used there. You can see Godrej lever padlocks on allmost every door.



Since I never picked lever locks before I cut one of them open with a hacksaw.



The levers are of quite bad manufacturing tolerance and there are no false gates.



Since I had no music wire to make leverpicks I made a tension tool of one of the keys and then I used a pin tumbler pick through the side to lift the levers. Good feedback and not much trouble to pick the lock so I hope that It will be equally simple once I get hold of some music wire

If you go to You Tube and search for Andy Mac, you will find out everything (almost) you wanted to know about level door locks & paddle locks. How to pick them, how to make tools, and he even
has give a way each week! He seems to be a good guy and knows what he's talking about. I've been subscribed to his channel for some time now.
