REally need help

[Ishmeel]

ok i got a poker set that comes in a aluminum case... its got 2 really chep looking simple locks but since im a noob i cant even pick them succesfully. so i have a really good poker set locked with these 2 cheap locks i cant figure out. can anyone give me some advice?

Probably very basic warded locks. I should think a 90 degree bent wire should turn it. But if that doesn't work, don't call me, Ishmeel. ( )

Put up a close up photo if you want more help...

sometimes these cheap locks can be a pain because they are just so small.
can you tell if it's a disc lock or a warded lock?

Ok someone may know better, but I did one for my son recently which looked very similar. Used the bent wire on it and it opened straight away.

I've got a chip set much like this with what looks to be the very same lock. I'd never locked the case, so just now I tried locking it to see what it would take. I was surprised that after 5 or so minutes of fiddling I was unable to open it. The lock is very poor quality and requires quite a bit of force to actually turn (enough so that my key was twisting a bit during normal operation). Because of this silly amount of pressure I was unable to open it with even with a diaper pin bent to 90 degrees.

Best bet might be to duplicate the key. Other than that, you may well get it if you keep at it, though if your lock is like mine a paper clip will probably not cut it.

PM if you're stuck and I'll take a photo of my key for you. My guess is that these keys are a "one size fits all".

My son's was on the case of an old video camera he was given. He tried locking it with a random key from my collection, which worked immediately but wouldn't unlock again. I took it as something of a challenge and bent a piece of wire...

Alright. I hope you get it. I know what it must be like to be separated from your poker chips.

disc lock

Please, let's stick with "wafer lock"... I don't want people confusing crummy file cabinet locks with high-end Abloys.
