again? its his first post...

Anyway as one user has showed concern and in your first post you have asked how to open a door without showing damage.

You claim to be an hobby picker but have no idea how to pick a euro or any of the many bypasses there are (well i can think off 2 off the top of my head but we cant talk about them in the open forums)

Im gonna recommend calling a lock smith. if you damage the lock you may end up having to pay even more to get it open, and lets be honest. locks are cheap compared to exterior doors which lets be honest are on average about 10 times the cost of a lock.

Apart from that the search button is on the left hand side and the top right. more than enough info to open any euro lock in under 5 minutes with practice

The canny alternative I have seen by developers in apartment blocks is to fit a master keyed system and retain the MK as a "key Holder". This ensures that they can gain entry for their client without calling a Locksmith and/or damaging the door.

Worthwhile doing as MK systems can be bought off the shelf for only a few pounds more per lock. For a little more you can have a bespoke pin code for a particular account holder so more of the same can be ordered at a later date.

Either way you might want to talk to a local Locksmith who can set such a system up for you. Or if you cant pick or bypass Euro's too well make sure you don't install difficult ones.

thanks for your frank advise and i hope everyone understand that everyone has to start somewhere even if it is by asking the wrong question . the institute i work for is a charity and can't always aford to pay for a locksmith . i am hopeing to go on some courses at my own expence but i have made some picks myself and i have practised on some yales and some abus padlocks.with some good results . but not had much practise on euro locks yet . all i was looking for was a little guidance and was supprised to be greeted with suspision by some people. i have learnt alot from from this site and i appreciate the advise from all members , thanks again and i hope to interact much more in the future with everyone .
