strange lock but opened any way

[tank12983]

i found this bike lock that i have had for many years and opened with my new pick set little did i know what i would find. i popped it open with my double ball rake i looked a the part where the cable geos into the lock part and the was a filp head srew at the bottom so i unsrewed that and the cable and the cover of the lock came off. everything was normal up to this point. the cylinder was being held in by a pin like thing but it was flat partly round so i moved it and slid the clander out in stead of pin there were these hollow rectangles with semicircle ends and on one side of each of these pins there was a sort of hook. the pins were alternated so that the hooks were right left right left. there were six pins and a half pin that held the cylinder in.

that is what the pins looked like i will try to get pictures of all the part on this later this week and the name on the cover of the lock was SAICOSS

these are wafers, not pins - I'm supprised that there's a wafer lock made for securing bikes - that's a bit weird.

generally the idea is that cheap wafer locks are easier to open than pin tumbler locks - but they also put wafer locks on cars that are very difficult to open due to things like sidebars etc.

do you know anything about the company SAICOSS

Off topic: wow, it's confusing reading your massively long sentences.

On topic: Nothing about SAICOSS in the forum, or on google, other than that they seem to make locks. I think you're out of luck looking for info on that company.
