And since we are here, this is how it looks once disassembled.

I picked the Master Lock #3. I've picked it before but I want to perfect it! I read that it's the easiest lock to pick and that's why I started with it.

Nice Habo..never seen those before, the key is exactly like an ASSA 6-7 Oval Cylinder. Is Habo a generic one of those or is that key way patent expired?

Regardless, nice job, those locks are awesome. Love 7-pinners.

The majority, if not all, 7-pin keyways have blanks made by Silca and JMA.

I honestly don't know nothing about HABO. :roll:
Yes the keys are the same, ASSA is just a little bit thicker. And the keys approach to the opposite cylinders.
Thanks-yes, there are very nice locks. :wink:

I´m working all night so at the slow stretch I thought I would get at these:
Image

From left is:
[*]Sargent (thx to ChemicalRobot)
[*]Schlage Everest (thx to ChemicalRobot) First attempt with sidebar, we´ll se how it goes :?
[*]Unmarked Cylinder 7-pin
[*]A small Assa cylinder box lock 5-pin
To PICK a lock all you need is self control, patience, endurance and a pick...
To OPEN a lock all you need is impulsivity, anger, intolerance and a sledgehammer...

I know, had a real hard time with that one. Didn´t get it picked :cry: Need to dig up a shallower hook that´ll fit.

Picked a Hi-Shear Military Padlock with a Classic 6 pin Medeco core.
I don't have a picture, but here is the video of me picking it.
