You'd just need a specialized tool. :)

If they have a sidebar, then yes it compicates things indeed, but simply having 10 wafers does not provide a huge amount of security from certain attacks, at all.

p1ckf1sh is right - it's all a question of having the right tools. :)

I was not saying that all wafer locks are easy, just that the one in the photo was. of course there are illionis duo types that are well made and difficult. and some greenleaf types as well (aren't duo and greenleaf the same internally? I think so)

What types of tools would you suggest for either a double pinned lock (pins on top and bottom) ? I've never attempted that type of lock, but it would be interesting...

AMP, Pins or Wafers?

If you left-click that little search link, I posted a good tool to use with Double-Sided wafer locks a short while back.
