Where should I get Warded lock key-blanks from?

by **MPXS-20** » 12 Apr 2006 15:36

Hi, I just got done reading the chapter "warded locks" in "The Complete Guide to Lockpicking" by "Eddy the wire", and now I'd like to know where I could gets some warded lock key blanks from....Any help? Also, what about files? could you recommend some? Thirdly: would standard box matches work for marking the key, or would I need something a bit hotter? Lastly, is there any practice warded locks I could get? I can't find any...But maybe you could suggest some places to look?

Thanks

If you are talking about making warded picks, you can make a simple one from a bicycle spoke - it works well.

I posted a photo a while back - some searching ought to find it.

Either get a permanent marker, and colour the entire blade of the key, or smoke the blade using a match.

Master make a warded padlock.

Dunno about keyblanks, sorry.

Hes on about the impressioning chapter where you blacken the key with soot.

Generally you have to cut the warding yourself, from your regular mortice key blanks. That's what a warding file is for.

Either buy them from here, southord.com like I did. Or make them using these templates.

Hes not after picks hes after key blanks.

Basically does anyone have a key blank supplier in his neck of the woods that can sell to a (non lockie?) and have mortise blanks.

Or other than that any members willing to send/sell him some?

Is he talking about a warded padlock, or a warded mortice lock?

by **Shrub** » 16 Apr 2006 23:06

Well if he got a suplier he could have both, i guess weve scarred him off anyway

I was talking about padlocks. And, I'm not talking about getting picks, I mean getting blank skeleton keys, pretty much. Is that more clear?
