Oh and also, I was hunting around in a garage today to try and find another padlock to practice on becasue this ERA I got is getting on my nerves, I wanted something easier to build me up. Anyway I found this padlock

http://www.power-tools-4jp.co.uk/shop/20875-abus-diskus-26-70mm-keyed-alike-rr00131-padlock.php

I've found some info about it on the net

DISKUS PADLOCK DISKUS 26-70
ABUS 5 PIN TUMBLER MECHANISM
The original DISKUS with a worldwide reputation for quality, now featuring an improved 5 pin tumbler mechanism and is protected by a hardened steel anti-pull/anti-drill plate.
· 10mm Hardened steel shackle
· Hardened steel plate protects shackle gap
· Keyed alike and master keyed available
· 4/5-pin tumbler master keyed suites available
· Anti-drill plate Available Keyed Alike or Master Keyed


Just wondering whether it can be picked with my slimline southords? I can't even open an ERA lock yet so I'm wondering whether this would be any easier by the look of it I think it'll be a lot harder? Should I just let it get dusty with my Yale lock for the moment? :(

Let it go with the Yale for the moment. You probably can pick it eventually, but its got a very restrictive keyway with spool pins.
