While your ASCII drawing isn't too helpful unfortunately, I believe you mean the SECUR- 32 lock. If so, it's a so called dimple lock and if you search for it you should probably find a lot of information on picking these locks. Try raking with a six-mountain pick.

As a sidenote, why do people always try to make these ASCII stuff, in most cases it'd probably be easier to make a quick drawing with ms-paint or a similar simple drawing program and link it via tinypic.
It's not the tools that open the lock. It's me.

Well thath delivered the final blow on my crappy low skill to do ASCII, after searching arround with the term dimple lock, only two pages with most of the stuff having nothing to do with, in the very last of the final page i found and link under the Lock Break Down Diagrams

10. Tesa: Pin tumbler and Dimple key:
http://www.tesa.es/pdf_eng/CYLINDERS.PDF

but the link does not work, and im not sure if it would be useful since it refers to keys, found a picture of the matador picks and by looking at them my lock as to be defenetly a dimple lock cause the picks look perfect for it.

Finally i came across this precious thing

viewtopic.php?t=2980&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=matador&start=15

im going to make them today hoping to have sucess, and im positively sure its a dimple cause in the post above are some pictures of the thing, i know i should have looked harder but i did not knew the name of the lock so it was gething hard to come across anything, so thanks to all and im planing on getting back here to give my review on the making of those picks and the actual picking of lock.
