Poster Frame locks?

by **theflyjar** » 30 Sep 2005 0:16

I was wondering what someone could recomend for a poster frame you would find outside of a movie theater or perhaps at a bus stop?

Do they always use the same sort of lock, as I did not think so? Also I have never tried one, for obvious reasons.

i can't seem to locate the locks on a bus stop frame, but as for the ones outside of a movie theater they have tubular locks i know. two on the right.

The ones that I have seen always look easy, but I did not have permission to try them.

You have no business picking locks like these.
What would I recommend for them?

Probably a new hobby that won't get the sh*t kicked out of you.

They're wafer cam locks. Don't pick 'em unless you own 'em.

You ruined it, as I hoped he would have one round of treatment first.

On the way to work I had another look, and most are wafer locks, but not all. None of them looked anything special.

The locks on the bus stop timetables take like a triangular prism with
rounded corners type key, by the looks of the Perth, Aus ones.

From what I've seen, no exposed pins, etc, they look like a fancy
wardrobe lever lock.

But they keep the local losers out, so whatever, hehe.

It's not a triangular allen key is it helix? How deep is the keyway?

by **helix** » 30 Sep 2005 5:33

5 mm?
I'll have a look tomorrow.
May even be some sort of big allen key bolt.

If you want to steal the poster just ball up and smash the glass you greasy punk.

Stealing posters to put up in your room is awfully 9th grade don't you think?

I read this post as asking what locks should he put on that sort of frame, Chrispy answered right in that they are cam locks, you can get a few differant types, tubular, wafer, triangle spigot etc etc,

You can also get differant cams to fit, straight, angled, offset etc

I suppose it could read that way, but you'd have to assume that he wants to fit a lock in both a movie billboard AND a bus stop billboard. I'm having trouble understanding why one might want to do that, so for the moment I'm going with the assumption that it is in fact a "greasy punk" that wants to decorate his room with Kewl Posterz.
