Russwin 6-pin

Postby nooj » 11 Dec 2007 2:51

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of picking a Russwin 6-pin lock, and I picked it and it turned clockwise about 135 degrees but came to a dead stop. I'm guessing I picked it the wrong direction, so when I tried again wit the tension going counter-clockwise, I couldn't get any of the pins to lift.
Any advice? Anything would be appreciated.

Hey guys,

So I just picked it using counter-clockwise tension. But another problem has arisen, it only turns 90 degrees and stops after that.

Help?

AGH! This lock is driving me nuts!

If it has picked to 90 degrees then that is most definately it picked, as far as openening it I have no idea. I don't know the lock, any pictures?

Is this lock mounted on a door and in use? Other than that it shouldn't really matter whether it turns past 90 degrees in either direction.

It may be that the lock is a classroom function. this means that the key locks the knob when turned one way and unlocks it when turned the other
