Urmh, I think you mean wafer locks.

Hampton should be shot for calling wafer locks disc locks... it like soo drags down Abloy and Abus Plus. :(

Urmh, use a ball pick, a standard of dual tension wrench, and just rake gently. :)

a ball pick is generally the weapon of choice, and make sure you know if the lock is single or double sided

these locks aren't picky about pressure or tension but if it's not in bad shape then you should be pretty gentle.

if you really mean a disc tumbler, that's probably something for the advanced forums
