masterlock 17

I tried searching but 10 pages had no topic heading. Any tricks to this padlock.

That's a $15-25 padlock that has 5 pins. The padlock is locking on both sides, to it must not be easy to bypass using shims (but I never tried). Try to rake it first, then pick the remaining pins. If a pin looks like it sets at several position, there are mushroom or serrated pins in it, but for this price I don't think there will. Still, I don't know for sure.

The only challenge with this lock would be the security pins. That being said it should not be too difficult. Have you picked any security pins before? If not read up on security pins in the forums.
