What kind of Tool do i need?

Postby Allabo » 30 May 2009 15:00

Hey i have been trying to find and figure out what kind of Tools i need to Pick this lock but i dont know what type it is but i decided to take some photos of the Key since the "keyway" is just a 180 degrees Circle. If you could tell what kind of technique and Tools needed it would be really great. And i can add that i am Quite new to Lock picking so please explain in a way that i can understand. Thanks.

That is an Abloy disc detainer key, but you won't find information on how to pick it on the public forums. At the same time, you won't get it on the advanced forums with just a picture of a key and as your first post :).

Not to mention if you've only just started picking you can think again about picking it ;)

As already mentioned the key you are holding is a Abloy lock key. (classic model) Those are just about the hardest type of locks to pick, and are the same brand locks I personally use. They are just about next to impossible to pick.

If your in North America, you may want to check out a restore (construction salvage) and pick up some used KIK`s- Key in Knob locks, like you see on most residental front doors. Failing finding one of those stores, you could also check out discount stores, etc. I have found KIK`s in those stores for about $7-9.00 before.

Good luck, and stick around a while, you never do know, maybe one day you will figure something out with that high security lock.

Cheers.
