Masterlock Commercial

Postby ThE_MasteR » 26 Nov 2005 19:01

Hey guys,

My friend brought me a Masterlock No.5 Commercial to me today and it looked different, and he asked me if I could pick it, so i gave it a try, and after 3-4 seconds the lock poped open !?! Only pin 1 & 2 where binding. So what's the difference betwwen these and the normal No.5s ? I already checked on Masterlocks site and I didn't find anything.

I think I remember reading on this site somewhere that the "commercial" types one were actualy a gimmick, and were essentialy the same as the others.

That one had a nifty yellow casing!

It may have had a thicker shackle and a larger case!

Good thing you had your picks, huh? :D

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