Abus are very hard lock to start on, get a era cylinder or a yale cylinder i'd suggest Era is the best you can train your self on, cause yale is a small keyway
Here is the guide :D


viewtopic.php?t=10505 :D Repinning is the best direction for you mate,

Good luck! 8)

The ERA and Yale are identical in keyway sizes. The ERA locks tend to use softer metal for the plugs, and I've noticed they get worn away faster making them seem more open.

As it happens, I don't believe yale to be a difficult keyway.

Congrats, Skaka04. :)

To me, the ABUS 65/40 is the easiest lock I have to pick herre, and no it's not only because of the pinning, I have 2 and I can pick them very easily.

Just realized they are 85/40's lol...Well anyways, here's a video of me picking it in under 10 seconds.
