Hi y'all!

Who makes this lock? Sorry bout the crap picture.
It's a padlock with the text "alfa 2"
it's got a logo: a dot inside a triangle inside a circle.



Thanks!

i doubt youl get much help on methods to open it mate, for one thats a lock in use if im not mistaken? and im thinking it might not be yours?, sorry if it is yours of course but generally new members making a first post like this are usually up to no good :lol: but im sure theres others on site who can help you out with a manufacturer of it, good luck and happy pickings!
if everyone who tried something new liked it but didnt bother telling anyone else there would never be anything new to try...

Post a pic of the lock opened with keys, and you'll get a better response to your question. I have to agree with Chris on #1 posts of locks in use. :twisted:

So far the OP has only asked who makes the lock. I see no problem in that being answered. I do not know who makes the lock, I've never heard of it and google shows nothing. There will be NO discussion on the picking of this lock however, It's in use and we don't know who's it is.

The body shape and color remind me of Anchor Las padlocks, but the snowman shaped cylinder and keyway scream ASSA / RUKO. It does not look like a Twin keyway, but could be a 7 pin ASSA.

Anchor Las does make padlocks with the snowman cylinder. Here is the specification paper:
