PG&E Lock

Postby no11550s » 19 Jan 2007 22:13

Hello all
I have been working on an older PG&E padlock (no other marking on it). I have found you need to push in the shackle to get any of the pins to set but Im still missing something as it hasnt cracked yet,. Ive individually picked and scrubed.. but something is still catching.....any ideas?

should you even be trying to open a Pacific Gas & Electric padlock? :wink:
i know one of the manufacturers of utility padlocks is WILSON BOHANNAN PADLOCK CO if its any use.
i'm assuming as its a utility padlock it's going to have security pins so picking it should be like any other. do a search for security pins and maybe adjust your tension.

I got the lock off Ebay, unlocked no key. I presume it came from another pick fu student. As far as I'm concerned it came from a legit source perhaps surplus or something of that nature.

A little embarrassed to say, but I cant figure out how post the two pics I took of the lock and I couldnt find it in FAQ... can anyone post a link on how to do it? thanks
