Padlock Pick

[dazza]

Hi Illusion

I wouldn't mind seeing a photo of this padlock anyway, could you get one to show

I will post a picture first thing tomorrow never done it before but got a good idea from other posts.

The lock is rusty on the outside with no writing on the lock only on the keyhole cover witch says five lever's inside of the lock works great easy to turn etc. There is 2 keys with the lock and they both say era on them. but the lock is definitely 17 years or more old but still works great .Now you come to mention it it does look a bit of a tight squeeze round the pin for picks?will post pic in mourning then you can see for yourself.

Hi illusion

heres the photo




its a bit wonkey the picture thats why you can only see one side off key hole.there does seem to be enough room for picks?i know it looks rusty but it works great except the key hole guard doesnt come down its stuck.

Hmmm... Are you able to get hold of some piano wire? you may know it as spring-steel rod.

Make a tension wire, and a wire lifter, and get to work - if you can get piano wire which is thin enough it should get around the centre pin easily.

Looks like a nice pick - let us know how you get on.

Looks like an ERA Insurance. Easy peasy pick with the RB 2-in1.

Easy Peasy . OOH ark at im!!

Have you got the RB 2-in-1's Andy? The ERA Insurance takes about 1 minute to open with one, as does the Asec 5 lever. The ERA Big Six takes longer, and the Chubb's are a lot trickier as they have anti picks, as does the Walsall, but is easier than the Chubb's.

I've yet to open the Chubb 6 lever Battleship, although I've not given that much time to it to be honest, but it certainly appears far from easy. In fact, when faced with a Battleship on one door and a 110 on another on a warrant a while back, out came the p&c, which is testament in itself to the Battleship...!
