Heh, use the normal keys.

Those locks are rather hard to pick, more so if your not used to picking simple lever locks.


Where did you find that, and how much was it? I'm looking for one of those...

That is an Abloy Bodaguard.
http://www.abloy.lv/uploads/files/88900 ... re_eng.pdf
Boda used to be a lock company that assa-abloy bought.
There are lots of Boda leverlocks here in Finland, but I haven´t seen this one.
I would like to get into levers, but would not start with this. :roll:

Andreart, just a brotherly advice if you wont mind mind. that's absolutely not the right way to start. that lock is not for a starter lockpicker. i wont go further for you did not ask anyway. seek practical and starightforward advice. .. however if you already are a profecient picker and a new member here in lockpicking. you have the lock, you can figure it out. goodluck
hi everyone, im glad to be a member of this very interesting community, our community of locksmiths. i hope i could help others, within my ability, and hope you can help me too, God bless us all fellow locksmiths.

Heh, after some further research this lock is "very" high security (level 7 classification) lock...

And I really want a few!!! It looks like the b@stard son of the two locks types that really interest me! (abloy and lever locks!)

I'll tell you right now, you will not be able to pick this one.. Not for a long while, if ever. To put it in perspective- think of this lock as a high security government/military lock. (I assume level 7 classification is somewhere around that level, any European members who can give me some insight into the classification rating over there?)


Also, we don't pick locks we don't own (your work) and we don't like to pick locks in use. (your residence) :wink:

That sounds like an odd thing to "need" to be able to do. And unlisted is right, any kind of double bitted lever lock is a pretty tough pick... and since it's made by abloy, you haven't a hope in hell without at least a couple of years experience. ;)

Just looking at the OP's pics, the keys appear to me to be the exact reverse of the opposing side. I would think therefore it would be like a 5 lever mortise lock with a curtain. Not 10 levers.

Nice looking product.

I count 9 cuts, so I guess 8 levers.
Levers = plates?
