are there more difficult or easier wafer locks i can pick an wafer lock on a safe but having trouble on and old roller door lock. I can get the lock to turn a little bit but then it just stops until i release tension.
so my question is is there any security wafers or something like that? :oops:

I do know that there are wafers out there that has teeth on its edges like a serrated security pin. I have never seen one first hand but I've seen pictures of them. You may be the lucky one to discover something pretty rare. :wink:

They are actually very common in automotive locks, but that's not really within the scope of this conversation.

Doh! Yeah I should have realized that. Both domestic and imports do this. Can't believe I forgot about it when I see it almost everyday at work.
