Hi there. i have been trying to pick this sucker for a while now.
i have had no such luck, i can pick schlage, weiser, master, with some or no problems at all (mainly schlage lol) this has a schlage keyway and the resistances seem very narrow.

any body manage to pick this sucker, any kind of information on this lock would be appreciated.
i think it has spool top pins but im not to sure.

Sorry for my Necromancy here, but I recently bought one, same insides, different exterior.
This thing makes me want to cry, I've got it once, but it was just a raking fluke.

No need to apologise, I've got one of these aswell and it's an absolute nightmare. I've been looking to see what's inside but had no luck, so this helps a little... but not much. I'll put it down to not being used to american keyways for now.

Sorry for the lack of info but I'm in the same boat. None of my other store bought locks have been this much fun. I'm close to having it water jetted in half to be honest. Like some other posts I have raked it open as a complete blind raking would do. Awesome lock still loving the challenge and can't seem to get a good false set.

Whoo! This thread again lol... since my last post I've cracked mine, so I will offer some insight.

There are security pins in these, but there is no false set because they use a type of serrated pin. You need to pay very close attention to what you're doing, make sure you know which pin you're on and the way the pins are binding. If you set a pin and none of the others bind, set it again. If you set a pin and pins drop, reset it and repick back to that point again, making sure not to set it more than the amount of times you did before. The most important thing is to take your time, use slow and controlled pick pressure, and do your best to only set one pin at a time.

They're very tricky locks, but you'll crack them with patience... just remember, only the drivers are serrated so it could be a lot worse!
