Abus 24RK/70

[CVScam]

I just bought an Abus 24RK/70 at a locksmith shop for $7.00 american dollars my first picture is of the box. My second picture is of the keys with have almost no cuts on them are those called 0 bit keys? With the current pin config the lock is VERY easy to pick. Do I have to use a special tool in the hole at the bottom to remove the cylinder and rekey it?

The key looks like all the cuts are same height.

Rekeyable cool first abus ive seen thats rekeyable.

Yes, that key is zero bitted.

The 24RK is the only model of that type of Abus lock (the circular bolt action) that is re-keyable. Hence the 'RK' = Re-Keyable.

Many rekeyable padlocks come zero-bitted (they are expecting you to have it set up to an existing key that fits other locks you're using).

I removed the cylinder and I am in the process of rekeying it I see the 4 pins but it has holes for 5 pins. I think I can can add a 5th pin and spring to make it harder to pick, my question is what blank would fit the lock if I did make it a 5 pin.

I think the blank you need is a 65SA/30.
