W00t..!! Do you know what lock it is ? Alos, any cheap 4-pin padlock that you can get a Wal-Mart, is good for you.

My first lock

Postby virgo66 » 17 Oct 2005 1:16

Glad I found this site. I lost my key for my Brinks lock box (battery powered keypad type). I looked up lock picking and came up with this site. From there I used two pieces of piano wire ground down to a rectangular shaped tip. A couple of minutes of pokin around my lock box is open at last. Brinks says its "Home Security", I say even a chimp could get into it. That was a blast for a first time. The sad part is I planned on using my milling machine with a carbide on the lock if I had no success opening it. Darn. :D
