I have done several searches through out the site but do not get a return on the subject request. My skill level is beginner. I do quite well on small fireproof boxes and am getting some practice on cars, using a jiggle. I would like to know how to pick a padlock that uses a stamped out key. Most references I find discuss keys that have words or numbers stamped onto the key.
I am talking about a Master lock that has the key manufactured by being stamped from a piece of metal. The parts of the key that push against the pins to unlock the lock are square and are two sided and are equal size on both sides of the key. I can scan another key and email or upload the picture if that would help. The key I have has much larger teeth than the one I need so it will not fit into the lock but the appearance is identical to the one I need.
I locked the lock onto an empty bull ring so I would not lose it and then lost the key.
Thank you for any help anyone may be able to offer.

I think you're talking about a warded padlock. Now that you know the name, Search again and you'll find all the tutorials and how to's you'll need.

Absolutely outstanding! I never knew the name for this type of lock, nor how different it is from pin and tumbler type locks. Squelchtone...Thank you kindly for your help
