sure its a cam lock but picking the £"^£!T^ is hard

[kroozin]

hiya guys, im sure i have a cam lock here it looks like this:


you can see the pins when you have hod of the lock but not when its in the door. just wondering if it is actualy called a cam lock ? and would i use a bump key or something like bump key? i figured i only need to move the top pins down half way and the bottom pins up half way and the lock is open but would i use a bump key because i picked it with a paper clip but it took ages and i got the paper clip stuck inside but eventualy pulled it out. lol
thanks very much

no, you should never use bump keys on a wafer lock and its is no fun.

looking at the picture it is a cheap wafer lock.

stop using paperclips and either buy or make some real picks.


and until you learn to pick locks, bump keys make you look like a silly kid

If it has a metal piece sticking out like in that photo, yes it's called a cam lock.

If the keyway looks like the one on the photo, then it probably uses wafers. And judging from your "top pins down, bottom pins halfway", it sounds like a double sided wafer lock.

Would you use a bump key or something like a bump key? That's up to you to decide. I would use a pick.

Judging from your previous posts, you seem to like bump keys a lot.

i heard that they are fast and nearly always work, i jsut managed to pick the lock with a paperclip and a thin strip of metal but took way to long, so you think i have a double sided wafer cam lock ? lol forgive me i am faily new been reading up on the threads for a while aswell. will probly end up making them as the prices to me seem rediculously high. so do you think a bump key would be good for speed and reliability, im not to bothered about picking each pin at this monment in time, oh and the lock has 5 pins on the top and 5 pins on the bottom if that helps.
thanks

I would like to see what the lock is on. It seems to be the same as the ones used on the cabinets used to lock up high value electronic items at stores, etc... What is it on and why do you need to pick it? Where is the key?

I don't know, but you're a bit to much concerned with speed, and not with opening the lock.

If you're opening a lock for a costumer, he doesn't care so much how long it takes for you to open it, as long as you do the job right and without damage.
If you're a hobbypicker, time is no object either, since speed comes with a lot of practice and not with bumpkeys.

The way you are only interested in opening a lock fast, makes me a bit itchy.

right, they are for school lockers, at school the teachers say £2 for a locker key and they dont even have the keys to give us, and recently alot of things have been going missing so, i thought if i had a bump key i could lock/unlock mine and friends lockers so i brought my locker door lock home as i dont leave anything in it over night. so i am looking for a fast way to lock/unlock my locker as i dont want anything taking as i am in my finaly 2 years and any course work goes missing that means i have to do it all again and the school can but wont do anything about it. thats why i keep mentioning the bump key as it seems easy and fast.

First, your post juste made me very suspicious of your motives.
Second, if you need to open and close real fast, what you need is a real key not a bump key. You could make one, but I won't explain how.

haha i thought thats why it was so quiet, no im not like that, im no theif or scum bag.
heres one a poor pick of the lock.

I am having a very hard time believing your story and regardless, what you are doing is wrong and illegal. I have never heard of a school using those style locks on locker doors so I cannot believe it unless I see it. The main issue is that it's not your lock. You do not have permission to remove it or pick it. There is a real chance that you will break it if you pick it as a way to open it every day. If your story is true than pay the small fee and avoid the fine when you're caught stealing or damaging someone else's property.

I would respectfully suggest spending more time learning to spell and punctuate sentences, and less on picking locks, especially if they are not yours.
