What kind of lock is this?!

Postby Ippanjin » 25 Jul 2018 19:35

Hello. I've just started picking up lock picking, and I'm trying to open this lock, however I have no idea what's its kind and how does it work!!
I've been trying to open it for hours but I've only succeeded once by chance, can anyone please tell me what kind of lock is this, and the proper technique to pick it?
Thanks in advance!

Reason: sigh.. the [image] command cannot show a whole website, the link HAS to have the http://site.com/path/FILE.JPG in it to actually work.

What is this lock on? could you post a photo zoomed out more? Is it your lock? Is this lock common in Japan?

It looks like a generic MIWA JN dimple lock.

Thank you,

First thought was Fuel pump lock, with 8 push pins, not so much once zoomed in.
