These are about the only locks that I haven't heard of ANY bypass techniques for, although I do seem to recall mention of a Falle-Safe gov.-only decoder in LSS, I really haven't heard of anything for Abloys...Closest thing I know of is the Falle-Safe Abus Granit decoder as that's a rotating disk mechanism as well, but that's about it. Has anyone actually seen a modern Abloy bypassed in any way (pick, decode, impression, etc.)??

Acually, yes.
It's the only pick I have. It started a few day's ago when I found HowStuffWroks.com/lock-picking.htm. I rushed to my front door and used an old sharpend screwdriver (see pic) and had the deadbolt open in 30 mins. (this was the first time I had ever picked a lock)
then I found this form and got a practice lock. But yes, this does work and Its the only one I have. I was thinking about getting a pick but wanted to be able to pick with just a paper clip and dont plan on getting a real pick anytime soon. I figure this way I'll get to be really good in a few years. But then again, I alredy went through my first practice lock but think I might be getting better at not destroying the lock. just resently my dad lost the keys for his toolbox and I opened it for him. I think lockpicking is addictive because I just cant stop.

I've succsefuly picked all the deadbolts in our house :D and any other lock I can find. I got our gunsafe once but cant get it again. I just apply pressure and start by raking and then slowly pick one pin at a time. Its really hard but I'm able to do it on most Deadbolts consistantly in about anywhere from 3-10 mins. one thing that was really helpful was to take out all but three pins then once I get the hang of that move on to 4 then 5. (Digital Blue was the one who suggested that to me.) My goal was to be able to pick all our locks in our house with a paper clip and a scewdriver. the real hard part was to convence my parents to let me do it, but there totally fine with me using a practice lock. (I'm 14) sence I found this form, with the exeption of the toolbox lock, I am not going to pick our house lock because it could destroy them.
Thank you, Austin

Hey, being on the topic of quick and easy picks just wanted to suggest something that could be quite usefull and better than a paper clip. A very large saftey pin. If you don't have one around the house they won't cust much. All you have to do is file down the tip so you don't poke yourself and bend the tip a bit and there ya go. It's great for pickin but its a little hard on the thumb.
Meet my ninja pick. 100% Satisfaction guaranteed.

Yes the paper clip, and lets not forget the hair pin, just bend the two ends over and you could pick every slay maker lock in the school bike stand

For an abloy classic impressioning, I have. It involves Coppertubing. Don't want to go into detail though.

Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....
