ebay find: Brinks SC1 (Schlage) padlock you pin yourself!

[Squelchtone]

This is a real cool find. The padlock comes with a bag of pins including spool pins! and and and! a Schlage decoder to figure out your house key's bitting and pin the padlock to your house keys! oooohhhh ahhhhh.. I have to say that's the coolest thing I've seen in a while. These Brinks people are starting to impress me.

They also made this lock with a kwikset keyway. If I remember correctly it has 3 spool pins in it.

Yeah, isn't that cool? I bought one last week, still waiting for it to arrive, but it seems awesome.

Does anyone know if this uses standard size pins?

[Omikron]

I'm sure this is just Brinks' bid to make friends in the locksmith industry...

[zeke79]

Yes it uses standard size schlage pins. Wouldn't it have to?

You could make it work with smaller pins......

But yeah

I'd say Kwikset has a better policy in place about being friends to beginning pickers

Yeah, no kidding. 4 spool serrated pins, one standard pin, its pretty nasty in there.

The cool thing is it has 6 drilled pin holes.

I heard you should never have a padlock with your house key combo on it. To easy for someone to hack the lcok off and make a key for oyur house.

I wouldn't put one on, doubt a thief woudl do it.. but you never know. I would probobly expect them to throw the padlock threw the window first

thanks
i just looked at lock city and it said boxed. the ebay one is in that plastic so thats not boxed right. but that site has alot of house key rekeyable locks its 7.50 for shipping 1 lock or ten.

interesting concept..

if they start to sell them at our local walmart, im looking forward to the new customers at our shop..

looking to save a buck on rekeying- then using a ultra worn out key, or not comphrending why their kwickset key does not work the lock..

is interesting, and nice in that it will introduce more of the public into whats actually happening on the inside of their lock

Until I joined lp101, my mental picture of the inside of a lock was something like this:

(C)Nintendo "Gyromite"

check out those spool pins.

I'm getting a little slow tonight. When I first looked at the ebay ad, I thought, "Gee, how can they include a key when you pin it yourself?".

then I realized they give you the correct blank.

I can see a locksmith wondering when I take a key blank in and say "please cut this to 2-5-2-5-1-4
