Unknown lock found on ebay

Postby tehfrr » 15 Apr 2009 18:00

Can anyone give me some info on this lock please? Is this some sort of warded lock? I assume its not some fancy high security lock since I just bought it for one dollar.

The description stated:

TOP SECURITY LOCK PADLOCK HEAVY 60MM 4 x KEYS
A New Dimension in security Lock Skeleton keys Not Open.
SIZE: 60mm
avoirdupois: 15 OZ
RETAIL FOR $39.99

It looks like a cheap Abloy knock-off. So it uses a disk detainer system, and is probably very easy to pick/bypass.

Did you ever stop to think maybe you just have an exceptionally hard steak knife? Did that just blow your mind or what?

here is me picking open an identical lock...
9 discs.

with a bit of practice,a total pushover of a lock.
however,an essential and effective teaching/learning aid,both in learning the operation of disc-detainer locks,as well as
learning how to pick them.

Looks like a cheap Abus Plus clone. My book has a write-up (see my signature :) ). It's like an Abloy, but with a symmetrically placed keyway and rectangular profile to allow the key to go in either way round.

i believe it is a â„¢Solex knockoff.
(they show almost identical locks to this as counterfeit on their website...)

Does anyone know how to dismantle these with minimal damage? I purchase one awhile ago and I am very curious about the guts of the lock.

Cheers,
