vachette

[Rickthepick]

Im after a few vachette key blanks (i think)
They are renamed 'format' but are that distinctive triangular shape (iv seen a picture somewhere but cant find it)
Im hoping they are all the same profile if not il leave it.
Clues?

Id also like a radial lock if anyone has one?
i see someone on here has already conquered it

2 techniques can be use :

- self impressiong : http://www.youtube.com/user/MrCocolitos ... Xv9Dhq2yag

- picking : http://www.youtube.com/user/MrCocolitos ... la6QlN6iXI

picking time is fairly long...(about 15 minutes)

but on the video, I open the cylinder approximately 5 minutes

There is a write up of Vachette Radial Si and NT in my book on locks: High Security Mechanical Locks: An Encyclopedic Reference. There are usually only a small number of installed pins in this lock.
