The lock works very much like a combination safe lock, only instead of a dial, the key turns the wheels.

Picking them is HARD, though there was some codger here a while back who claimed he could do it with a magnet.

John falle makes the tools to pop them, good luck getting your hands on those...

I guess I overlooked that Skold. No need to explain anything then.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

I have an abloy classic lock disassembled right now. If I have the chance I will snap a few pictures of it and give a brief explanation of how it operates :wink: .


Err, so have I. Any idea how to put it back together, I think I have some bits back to front.
:oops:
