Just a quick question. I have recently bought a pair of keyed alike 60/40 abus padlocks to practise picking. I have done some research on the abus internet site and it says that the only resistance to picking that these locks have is a paracentric keyway. I am guess this is the way the keyway curves side to side. I cannot find any information about whether these locks have security pins in them or not. From my basic experience, It seems to me when I am picking my set of abus padlocks that they show all the "symptoms" (could not think of the word) of security pins. I have to use, very, very light tension and the plug wants to turn but stops sometimes, suggesting there is maybe a spool pin or two in there. The abus padlocks also look very attractive
......i mean, they seem to be very well made, for example, there is very little space for shims to be used ( *SPIT* I hate shims
) and the plug turns very nicely when picked or having the key inserted. I keep my abus padlocks oiled with wd40's sister brand "3in1" oil. I like this over WD40 as it is not a spray and doesnt go everywhere when applyed. Is this make of oil used by anyone else, and does the abus 60/40 range padlocks have security pins? If you now any other abus locks that have security pins, please post here, as i also like a challenge.
Thanks for your time, Matt-the-rat
