Bi-Locks

Anyone who has had any experience or success at picking Bi-Locks, please contact me. I am trying to put together a video on a Bi-Lock pick success.

Please do not post any information on how to pick a Bi-Lock, as this falls into Advanced Locks and is not suitable for public forums. If you have ideas on tools or techniques, PM me or post in Advanced Locks.

Thanks.

Regards,
Chrispy

Bi locks if I am correct do not utilize top pins so bumping would be out of the question.

Sorry, forgot about the no picking discussion bit.

If anyone has an idea on the best type/design for a Bi-Lock tension tool, please post your ideas here or PM me.

See below for the shape of the keyway.

*NOTE: This is only a tension tool, please do not discuss techniques or methods regarding the opening of this lock. The extent of this proposition goes as far as the design for a tension tool, nothing else.*

I'd go with either a tight fitting rectange at the bottom of the keyway, or a two prong and place the prongs at opposite corners of the keyway. The first could be made form a ground down allen key, but the second would take some creativity.

I wonder if there are any austrailians here that wouldn't mind having some american locks in exchange for a bi-lock :wink:

there is abut a 1.5mm clearance between the bottom of the keyway and the pins.

I'm not sure if I understand. So you're saying that taking up that much of the bottom of the keyway, hinders pick movement too much? I'd go with the 2 prong idea, or make a U shaped wrench out of brickstrap then. You can bend brickstrap like that by pinching it between two appropriately sized square rods and bending up the edges with a hammer. You might want to grind down the edges a bit to give your pick some breathing room if it's a tight fit.
