bogotas and padlocks

[Rodfather23]

I found a 40 mm master rip off padlock with HomeCenter written on the plastic bumper. I messed around picking it all last night but I've still only managed to pick it open 3 times. (all times SPPing with a hook) I have had no luck with any of my rakes or my diamonds.

Even my bogota is not working, which brings me to my question. Are bogotas designed to work on something like a 4 pin 40 mm padlock. I did some searching on it of course, everything says it will work on any lock. But what about a 40mm 4 pin master rip off? Right before I sat down to post this, I went to the garage and tried to make a mini bogota scaling the dimensions down to fit the 4 pin key. oddly enough it still will not open the dang lock. Although it opens my schalge and kwikset almost as good as the original bogota :-/


PS when I say found I mean I was going through some old boxes of junk I had yesterday in my closet and stumbled upon it. I have no idea where or when I got it.

I have had some luck using my bogota on padlocks, but not all the time. I think the problem is the motion used to make the bogota most effective is not possible in the smaller keyway of a padlock.

this isn't your fault... the db tends to toss out random double posts from random periods of history
