You gotta be kidding me...

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Wal Mart again, this time I'm embarrasing my bride by peering into a lock I see on a display case, 7 pin tubular.

The thing had color coded pins - I was aghast. Is this common practice? If I run short on bic pens I guess I can get myself a blank....

A tubular would've been fine, BUT colour-coded pins? C'mon Wal-mart! I thought you were better that than! I guess you aren't, my wal-mart.

Lol. :roll:

Well, that shold make it a lot easier to pick. :) Even though there's two possibilities for each colour, how many people are going to know the colour codes for pins?
