Some cutaways I made today

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

You should really make a through guide on how to cut locks in general with plenty of big and nice photos:D !
Once upon a time, there was a lovely little sausage called `Baldrick', and it lived happily ever after.

Is that an Abus 65/50?
And when you removed the shackle, did you use the same method as on the retainer bar or did you drill it completely out?

Hey SnowyBoy, you're making marvelous jobs!
I'm impressed, I've never thought a cutaway lock could be so cool, so nice to see!

If you have the chance to post a video, I'll be happy to see you working on this locks.

Cheers :)

Varminter its an Abus 60/50 but they mostly follow the same rules as each other, the rod to hold the shackle is normally in the same region of the lock.

Here's the same cut as the 330 on the 231 disklock. I've also machined the basket, but it bent slightly as it was fragile but its still 100% functional now its traightened out.

I done a bit more to the EVVA 3KS, I gave it another window on the opposite side and machined the slug slightly so you can better see what is going on inside.... This time I left it so you can chose if you want both sets of sliders and sidebars or not depending on your taste.

I also had a go on a KABA pin tumbler RC because I could NEVER pick it, so I had to see what was going on inside!

Hi SnowyBoy,
on ebay you asked "strangers" to contact you before bidding... do you ship to Italy? How much it'll cost?

Thanks :)
