I just started lockpicking..
I allready picked an old 4pin Abus padlock a zilion times, so I bought a few new ones.. 3 the same padlocks (different keys offcourse)
But I can't open any of them..
I'm just starting so It's not really a mirracle that I cannot open them, but since they're all three of the same brand and size I thought I'd open one up so I can see how it works and maybe find out why I can't pick them (spool drivers maybe or some other tricky thing)
But I can't find a way to open them

it's not like they're very expensive, the abus locks that were sold in the same store were more expensive, I bought to cheapest since it's for beginner practice anyways..
But I don't know this brand..
the fron of the lock says "Tri-Circle 264 Made in china" and the back of the lock has a sign of the olympics...
Doesn't mean a thing to me,
But does anyone here know how to take one appart?
I cannot put anthing between the pins I think because there's a small kind of border on the bas of the lock so I cannot put anthing in there while the pins are on the shear line....
I have the key though, so there's no problem with getting the pins on the right position....
All help is appriciated
TIA
