Question about a type of lock

Postby Kinesthetic » 5 Mar 2010 0:59

So I found this lock at the dollar store and it has me stumped.

The cylinder seems to spin as soon as there is any friction or circular force applied. Problem is that pins won't lift if the cylinder isn't at the original degree. From what I understand, all the pins must be lifted at the same time before the cylinder is rotated.

Can this be done with a lockpick and tension wrench or do I really need some kind of blank key or jiggler?

Thank you sir. Perhaps I shouldn't have skipped over the theory.

Warded locks are comparatively cheap and do have their place. Usually as an anti-niusance device, such as on a outdoor garden valve.

Plus, by nature of their construction, they are far less likely to sieze due to corrsoion, dirt and general weathering.
