You'll find a lot of topics about abloy and other high security locks already posted.

Abloy requires a pick designed only for Abloy locks and will still take a long time pick (An hour or more on average from what I've heard).

I think you'll find the "so-called" high security locks very worthy of their name. Abloy lcoks are a special disk wafer system that is extremely difficult to pick, and allows for a LOT of key combinations...

Our company's been an Abloy dealer for over 25 years. I'd sure like to see anyone pick one of their new keyways. Even the original Classic, I have my doubts on being picked.

Then you are about 25 years behind the times. THe Abloy classic has been broke for years, and the decoders and picks are available comercially.

The real bear is the Protec.

Even if I sell a high security system, I would far rather be able to pick or decode it rather than drill it. Now of course if I installed it I probably have the codes, but at any rate.......

I remeber posting this post in another thread awhile back,

Could somebody (im not experienced enough to do it.) make a guide on picking tips and tricks for various companies? (Master,Abloy etc.)


It would help the waves and waves of people asking "why cant i pick this Master No. 5" or whatever.
