Do you happen to know what series Diskus lock you have????

Which one is it?
I've picked the 24/60 which was relatively easy but does have some spools in it:



I've seen (and picked) ABUS locks up to 5 spool pins (out of 6 pins), but ABUS sure has locks with less security pins in there..

its a 23 70 discus lock

That one has security pins and a tight key way to make it harder to pick it.
I've looked at this lock as well once, and it looks like it's using the same plug as the 24/60.
Can't really tell how many security pins, but it can be a nice challenge.
It will probably help you a lot to use the slim line picks if you don't already do.
They will allow you more movement in the lock which makes it easier to set the pins without disturbing other pins.

thanks for all the help. i will keep at it, i will get through it sometime.
it just frustrating that it the only lock that i have been able to get through yet..

If the keyway is that smaller yale profile, the smaller thin shaft bogota rakes open them if you know how to use them in a quick loose jiggle.
you can make your own from sweeper bristle. look in the stickies in lockpicks manual forum for a tutorial
