Trying a Corbin and not winning...

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Trying a Corbin and not winning...

Postby Gapper402 » 9 Mar 2011 14:02

So I found a Corbin padlock laying around the other day and got excited for something new and free. Well the last two days I have been trying to pick it and no dice. I am definitely an amateur picker and I think this lock is a little much right now. Just looking for some advice, thanks.

Can you post a picture of the lock or describe it, model number or whatever? I've picked a few Corbin padlocks, some of the older ones can be a real pain to get open. I'm not sure about the new padlocks, but a lot of the older one's have ball bearings under the key pins, makes picking it a bit more difficult, in my opinion.
