My freindly Multilock rep is coming to the shop tomorrow. He's a nice bloke but he is convinced that all current bypass techniques are a load of crap ! i cant afford any of the new sparkling or other "guchi" picks but i have been tryin the sticky backed aluninium foil technique and just cant seem to crack the bugger !  any tips guys ? cos i would love to pop one open in front of him  have read all threads on this and still no joy. Am i just a biff or is there anything i can try and practice in the next 19 hours before i see him ? HELP P.S also have the dino pick set how the funk do picks 6 and 7 work with multilock/garrison they seem a bit crappy to my novice touch. Any help ?

MulTLock would be a great company to scare into bump-proofing their product. They need the love, and media attention to boot.

True, but Multilock and Mul-T-Lock are completely different companies.

ACK.
Then I surely mean Mul-T-Lock. Is Multilock a decent company?

They look about average. I haven't used their products myself.

Wait... now I'm confused... um... really? There's a Mul-T-Lock and a Multilock? I know about Mul-T... but not Multi...
So, who's rep is coming out to visit? What are these Multilock locks all about? Are the dimple as well? Are they pin-in-pin?
Someone fill me in, 'cause this is the first I've heard of it.

I have suddenly lost a lot of respect for them.

SPANNER, can you identify which company is coming to visit you tomorrow? Between statements on their website and the comments your rep has made, they sound rather boisterous and untrustworthy. Please pass on my regards.

I was thinkin' about this a bit...
If this is an actual Mul-T-Lock with the pin-in-pin (telescopic pin) system, I don't see how the foil impressioning would have worked. As for bumping, I've never tried a Mul-T 'cause the bump keys are so hard to come by and impossible (near impossible?) to make with hand tools. But if you can cut your own bump keys to code, the plastic handle of a screwdriver works well in a pinch.

Hmmm.. gate locks, eh? These seem to be standard pin tumbler locks. Am I right about this? Funny that.

OK this is the mult-t-lock this thread relates to. http://www.mul-t-lock.com/.
The interactive is the pin in pin system and the garrison is the lower end stuff.They are dimple keys and have protection against various attacks built in.As the keys are restricted they seem to be a popular choice with commercial premises.

Ok so there was some confusion as to which company, and confusion on my part as the rep is coming next wednesday DOH! anyway gives me more practice time ! i am talking about the Mul t Lock garrison lock which as toomushtodrink rightly said is the bottom of the range then comes the intergrator then the interactive(i have one of these bad boys on my front door) as far i can fathom garrison can be bumped and impressioned, intergrator can be bumped and as for interactive ?
