I had to draw that rectangle myself, but if u had this lock u would be able to see that there is a long rectangle going on across it where the pins are located..

How would i open it ? is it even possible ?

next time it might be better and more efficient to just give a link like so: http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5532/abcd0001ot2.jpg

does your camera have a macro setting? it is a little picture of a flower. use that setting to take close up pictures.

anyways you're probably right about that rectangle being used to cover the pin chambers, but the lock is not rekeyable or in any way servicable. But it's definitely pickable

the rectangle

Postby raimundo » 30 Dec 2007 10:17

that rectangle is just the cap that covers the pin holes and probably also the locking dog hole.

Yes you can open the rectangular part, destructively, it will look like the "TSA 007" lock I disassembled some time ago:

(scroll down, and you will see the rectangular piece, I used a Dremel cutoff wheel to open it).

Rake it out with your diamond pick with medium tension, or by just pass it.
