Hi i need help.. what type of lock is this padlock?

Postby darksidedsam2 » 18 Nov 2006 17:44

Hi my friend has got this padlock off of his dad after he quit doing his own buisiness and no longer needed the padlock anymore so his kid uses it on his locker (the best padlock ever)

i not got a picture but i drew what its like.. i wanted to know how i am meant to pick it, and waht tools are best to use ...

The dark grey lines on the padlock represent how the lock is made,, it makes it awkward to put a tension wrench in there. [/img]

You stated in your post that your friend has the lock on his locker. Nobody here will tell you how to open it.

This is just a guess, but I'd bet $5 it takes more then 5 minutes to pick that lock on a first try...
Also, even if your friend says you can pick it or not, Don't pick locks you rely on!
If you accidently break a part of the lock then put it on your locker without realizing it, the key might not work. I have one lock that happened to! (I don't know how, but it did)
Parsley!
