Help: Need a way to pick this. (Master lock)

[Woofcat]

Well I always though Photos were worth more than words so here they are.

The Lock itself.

The Key.

My picks incase you wanna see what tools i have. (Fuzzy but i hope you can make out what i have,


Now that you know what the key looks like and what picks i have do you know a way to pick this or a tutorial to learn how. I have been doing Wafers and Tumblers up until now but how do i attack this.

That is a warded padlock. Get this set. http://www.lockpickshop.com/p-WP-10.html

You could also grind all of the key wards away except for a bit of the top ward. This will leave you with a warded key that will open master brand warded locks. Best of all, it's free and easy to do .

If you only want to "pick" that specific model of master locks, you can grind off the prongs off the bottom so you only have the top remaining. I made one of these, but didnt try it on any other locks yet (dont have any, and no reason to get any).



Here is an ascii illustration to make your eyes bleed:

Code: Select all

|------\               
| key   \ _________||
|       /----------||
|----- /


{db edit: added code tags to make ascii viewable.}

Grinding down a key seems like a good idea. I though about doing this but, was not sure how many wards I needed to remove. I bent the bejezzus out of my SO hook trying to help my friend get his keys out of his locker. It was a Master 22 I think. After my hook didnt work I tried shiming it and broke that too. I asked my other friend to help because I knew he had warded picks.

looking at the pic, i (think) i have the same lock, and i ground all off except the first ones

Cut it down to look like this: Works on most warded padlock
