the profile of the keyway doesn't seem too to complex, how many pins are in the lock?

Congrats on the 5200. You may want to try to pick it in the opposite direction now. If you picked it clockwise using bottom tension, try CCW with a wrench positioned at top of the keyway. Some of these 5200's either pick or false set surprisingly easy in the other direction, even with the spool and serrations. If you do (pick it CCW) you end up having to continue rotating the plug 360 degrees to release the shackle.

Here's a picture of how to go about defeating the 5200 going CCW with top of the keyway tension. The tension wrench in just a broken bobby pin. This allows you to bypass the bottom keyway guard that prohibits the key from turning CCW. But without the guard, these plugs are like Boy George, they go both ways.
