Hey, How would i go about removing the cylinder from this lock?



Is it by drilling what seems to be somesort of brass retainer pin?

[darklighterz7611]

ugh, here are the actual images

should be bypassable.... im sure you can work it out

[Rickthepick]

sorry (i must read question properly before replying)

Yeah the bypass was no problem, Thats how i had to get into the filing cabinet in the first place.


Oh well i guess im just gonna have to go at this with a drill.....if it messes up Irl learn the hard way

If you drill the retainer you still need to pick it to get the plug out. Why not get a key from the number on it ?

[darklighterz7611]

Its no problem i can spp this baby in seconds and its quite fun cus the keyway is quite small for my regular picks and tension tools.

I just wanna have a look at the mechanism inside thats all.

I also dont think there is a key biting number on it (its a 5 pin lock).

[aussielocky]

The key number is SC154 ......

[darklighterz7611]

what does the sc stand for?

[globallockytoo]

each different manufacturer applied their own key codes and prefixes. I believe the first letters determined the person who built that cylinder (their initials).

The thing i dont understand then is that this is a 5 pin lock yet only 3 numbers are printed so these cant be the biting of the key.

They probably aren't, but due to MACS restrictions they may only have 1000 possible combination.

Unlikely though, I believe that the entire code "SC154" corresponds to the keyway and bitting.

just for argument sake, here is Instacode's S&D info.

without revealing the cuts.

Space and depth is different for the SC series I think. It would have been one of the old Yale restricted series.

cool, thanks for the info guys i thought it was just the make and model of the lock
