6-pin tubular lock pick - where to buy?

[bonzo88]

Hi there,

I'm looking to purchase a 6-pin tubular lock pick in the United States, but I can't seem to track one down! Do they exist? Southord only sells 7 or 8 pin configurations. Does anyone know where to get a 6 pin configuration tool?

Thanks!

What have you got thats got a 6 pin on?

[jordyh]

Yeah, i'm rather interested in that too.
I find it hard to track down anothing that is tubular and different that 7 pins.
So asking for 6 pins specifically, you've got my ear.

Yours,

Jordy

oh and my friend has a 6 pin tubular lock on his truck tool box. I found it odd too when i first saw it.

The pick from the spanish spy site is for 6 pin inverted tubular locks. Very strange animals, but I've yet to see one for sale. FWIW, the prices there are insane. 30 Euro for a SouthOrd warded pick set!

I wonder if that mini black one would help?

Is that a coin box?

Hi, no it is a lock box.. attaches to a wall or door, for example:

Well i believe everyone never deserves a flaim without proper investigation. So to get a good repsonce and not so much curiosity as to what your trying to pick, post a picture of the exact lock and with proof somhow that you own it, also i knwo this is said alot but if you lost you key then get a locksmith, if you only reason is to open it and possibly get a replaced key it will probobly cost oyu the same to have a locksmtih do it then to buy a pick your only going to use once.

Aye, thats understandable. True, a locksmith would probably cost as much or less than purchasing the equipment, but I do have an interest in how locks work (and have been successfully working with tumbler locks for quite some time - but never before a tubular lock!).

I believe much of the curiosity lends itself to the rarity of a 6-pin configuration in a tubular lock.. I have never seen anything like it before either. Then again, the only tubular locks I know about are bike locks!

Hey i hear ya buddy, i love picking locks to, its not picking them its the challenge and reward of succseffully doing it. I understand your fascination with this particular lock. Its basically just the scenerio, i believe your intrests are good hearted and just curiosty, but as everyone knows certain locks or information bypassing or picking them is a bit touchy i mean this like the diffrence in someone asking how to crack a safe and someone asking to pick a master lock number three. Its basically sensitvy, theres also a 10 pin tuburlar lock its the same principal as the seven pin but for the fact of what its used to secure will create the security measures taken in your requirments to lern to pick and purchase an actual pick for it. Same as a medeco abloy disc lock and such. But preaching isnt my thing, i can suggest that you attempt to single pin pick it, theres many threads on here dealing with ways to manually pick tubular locks so that is a good option before you go calling a locksmith, also i there is a site that i personally dont like but in your case can help you its called http://www.idealcreations.com they have a demonstration of someone picking a tubular lock. Hope that helps and , i am always curious, let us know how it turns out, best of luck to you.
