Lock has a keyway in the shape of a U

Postby Shyfted » 23 Feb 2011 23:42

Ive seen a couple of these locks kicking around but I dont know what theyre called (so i cant really do a search for them). The keyway is in the shape of the letter U but with a flat bottom. Are these anymore difficult to pick?

That sounds like Bilock, search it.
I don´t have one, but yes, I´ve read those are hard to pick.
