Abloy 242/362 padlock

[boris73]

Hello, i was wondering if any one could advise me on what pick to use for this lock, i was thinking a small diamond pick, also has anyone ever attempted to pick any of these before because i have found them laying around my house and i wouldnt mind having a go at them, allthough looking at them i would say some time in the future.

They are the same as any other lock,

If you can fit your picks in and manipulate the pins then you can use that tool, the tool that you cant fit in you cant use and the tool that you cant lift the pins with you cant use.

If you use a tool and cant set all the pins due to reaching them then try somthing else.

Place you pick on the side of the working key, if you can move it under each cut in the key without it overlapping the bottom of the key and can also reach the end cut then try that tool first.

The tool doesnt pick the lock its the skill in the hands holding the tool.

Also this lock has a series of covers which you have to move in order to get to the pins, and the key is curved i just thought it might have made it a little more difficult, i guess not. Thank you
