ABUS 34CS/55 High Security Padlock.
This lock has 6 pins, of which 5 spool pins (pin 2 through 6) and a restrictive key way to make it harder to pick it:

Tri Circle 264, was ridiculously easy, I saw people fumbling with it on youtube but it's not even close to being a challenge. I heard it has security pins but I can't really believe it. Anyone know for sure?

i just gutted one and not a single security pin.
however the chamber bores are countersunk,so you do get a tiny false set.
i was going to post pics but i cant get a properly lit shot of the chambers.
mine was ridiculously hard to SPP.

Medeco biaxial with out the side bar but with all 6 pins, and i picked it with the sidebar with 4/6 pins in my defense i just got this lock today and its brand new so everything is really tight and its taking some getting used to because the only Medeco ive picked b4 was a 5 pin Medeco classic and the biaxials key way is much more restricted

Hi so excited, first picks in a long while, two padlocks, one blue master padlock and a brass master padlock, Bought from B and Q yesterday, both took me about 2 mins to do, using a southord slimline pick set, intially picked with half diamond, but found a lot easy with a feeler.

Setting up my pick board with cylinder locks ERA and yale locks, with Padlocks on too, I'll post pictures when its finished.

Really having difficulty with the Yale and ERA locks , not managed to pick them yet, cant quite feel when the pins are right....

this scorpion lock...
cx 500,as far as i can tell.
6 pins,five side finger stumps,for the sidebar.
trying to get my time down to under 10 minutes,but i need a better way to manipulate the sliders.
( i am currently using a broken pick, bent slightly askew ,with a notch filed out,to accommodate the finger pins.)
hope someone has already broken this trail,but i know that this type of lock is exceedingly rare.
its the only one i have ever seen,and most people never heard of them.
especially in a padlock.
this one was custom modded, prolly a KiK cylinder retrofitted into a Schlage accommodating lock body.
scored keyless from eBay, i am glad i got it open,but sure would be nice to find a blank....
