Lever padlock

[Jason13]

Ok so I have this new Lever padlock which has no curtain cause i can see the levers through keyhole.

All I need to know Is how to apply tension to this,
I know how to apply tension to a lever lock its self just not the padlock ones so can anyone help me out here?

tension the same as if a lever lock

[Jason13]

Ya i know that but is the bolt just same place ya and that gap the key catchs is same and sutff.

Look at the key, the biting furthest away from the handle is the bolt thrower.

Make your tension wire as long as that part is and insert into the keyhole.

Turn the wire and engage the bolt - turn as far as you can - tension is now applied.

Lift each lever slowly untill set.

Alternatively overlift the levers and see if that works.

Got a photo?

Havn't got my dads camra phone so I used the New camra Watch.


Not the the best photo but hope you can help by the way i found the bit to push saw it through keyhole.

these i used to pick with 2 pieces of piano wire as a bar trick, they are very simple to defeat.

look at the lock as a simple non curtain lock, the talon will be in the same place as in any mortice lock, as will the levers.

fashion 1 piece of wire to size of keyway, this will be your bolt thrower, the 2nd wire should be a fraction shorter to lift levers, or try an L shape wire to tension bolt and a small J wire ( button hook) to lift all levers at same time, and watch it pop open.

Thanks for the info Pinky and it doesn't have a spring on shackle so I need to lift it.


Thanks anyway I also added this to my Lockboard I'll show it again on this topic once I got all my locks on.

That's a very nice-looking padlock by the way. May I ask who's the manufacturer?

[Hardliner]

Looks like a knockoff of a Squire "Old English" padlock to me...

[Jason13]

Just by looking through keyhole i can see the to apply tension.

[Jason13]

Is there a way i can Make a tool which i can apply tension easy.

Would something like a Square handle do the trick for grip?

[illusion]

Yeah, or make it round.

The handle I showed in ym guide works well enough.

[Mutzy]

You can try something like *this* for a bolt throw, depending on what type of lock it is.

[Jason13]

Wheres the Picks you made if you dont mind sharing them here and i'm getting use to Applying tension, one thing is wrong but.


I cant seem to lift the levers does that wire which is attached to lever and if its big low tension is applyed and if the wire is small heavy tension?

I can lift the levers with no tension so maybe im using to much tension,
and do i need to get tension rite on the ^ part our just if it catchs its alrite?

[skold]

the ^ part

Lets start calling the ^ part the tallon.
