For example, rake ???

Thanks

A nice way to introduce yourself to the board.....i bet the other members are just falling over each other to give you tips!!

Why not fill in your profile and then introduce yourself and your interests etc. You may get a more friendly response if you say why you need to open the lock.

Use your rake on the leaves in the yard....come back when you are finished and we'll give you more tasks.

BTW....what is your question? A Best Camlock? Pick A Best Camlock?

IMHO...the best camlocks include Abloy, Bilock, Ace etc.

camlocks as in the locks on candy machines and vending machines? I like the one's on bubble gum machines the best!

best pick? that's easy! The one that works!

Rake? I don't rake any more. I have a bad back and pay the kid next door to rack for me.

Welcome to the board :)

Most cam locks I've seen are simple wafer locks (Though I have 1 petite little pin tumbler cam lock in my collection)

Anyway, search around about Wafer locks if you'd like.

Also, I really loved that movie. Kid gets hit by a car, which wrecks his bike, the guy who hit him cuts him a blank check, which he goes nuts with. Then his brother calls his girlfriend (or girl he likes) a gold digger and he punches him (which was a big twist, because previously the brother had been punching him and telling him not to rub it, or something like that)

Anyway, great movie.

I thought camlocks were mostly tubular locks?

Tubular camlock, use a tubular pick. If something like the Camlock 10 pin, pick by hand using a special wrench and feeler pick.

Generic Pin Tumbler - Use a hook or half diamond, maybe even a rake. Impression.

Wafer - ball pick. For the snazzy versions like the Duo lock - hald diamond SPP. Impression, or 'read' the wafers.

Medeco - Decoder, Prayers, and half diamind or hook.

Abloy - Decoder, depending on model different tools can be used.

Mul-t-lock camlock - Souber MTL picks, New Sparkling pick.

Assa camlock - Half diamond, hook, rake.

Tubar - Decoder, or flat pick. (The feeler included in the Falle Safe set)

Bilock - Lots of prayers, decoder, hook pick.

Kaba - Matador rake, saw-toothed rake, half diamond.

Flat Keyed Lever Lock - 2 Pieces of wire.

Combination - Brute forces since 3 numbers, shim the dials to decode.

Miwa - If simple wafer lock - ball, if magnetic - decoder or brute force magnet attack.

Van Lock - Eraser with wires, I hear this works.

Meh - that's all I can remember off the top of my head... Should cover most.

Feel free to throw in any I've missed. :)

Bud Weiser, clearly you were wrong. :lol:

Camlock is a term for any type of lock that has a cam (lever/activator) on the rear.

It is not exclusively owned by Ace or Gem or any company.

The link you provided is to Camlock Systems. I am a distributor of their product here in this country (USA). Their products are more tailored for the vending industry.
