Anyone successfully picked this lock???

As I have stated on other posts - I'm new and haven't began to lock pick yet. While I'm waiting for my first pick set to arrive in the mail - I'm mostly researching. Here is a lock that I have in my collection that is supposedly a real good oneone. Has anyone ever successfully pick it, is it possible and with what kind of picks?

Oh darn, I began this thread and didn'r realize that I can only link to images and I'm not able to upload any images. Well I do have some - I guess I will look for some photos online and come back to put a link here.

The lock is an Abloy "The Enforcer 341" Made in Finland. I'll post then go look for a link for a visual image and edit this in a minute.

Gosh, I can't edit either - ok well here is a link with a pretty good image as well as a great description of the lock's functionality.

Is this lock pick-proof? If not, then what kind of picks could be used to pick it?

So how do I learn? Do I have to pay to discuss this in another area?

Well, I guess I will have to wait 3 months before I learn if this is a lock that is pick proof and or just how difficult it is to pick. I'm guessing that as someone stated that this lock is for advanced discussion. I didn't know that as I have seen many posts in the general forum discussing all kinds of locks. It might be a good idea for someone to make a list of locks that are for general discussion and locks that are for advanced discussion for newbies like me so that I don't repeat the same mistake with another lock in the next three months or so.

Thanks anyway :(

Well, I think I have my answer - still not sure if it is pick proof or not however after reviewing the picked and not picked thread - the only place that I saw Abloy was in the NOT PICKED sections and that was reviewing 6 pages of posts.

So I'm a newbie and should be getting my first pick set and two DVDs on basic and advanced lock picking techniques this week - I guess I can expect it to be sometime until I even attempt to pick my Abloy. Luckly for me I have a few kinds of Master locks to begin with.

no lock in unpick able, just different levels or ability

I wouldn't recommend it as a first lock. get your self a Kwikset and have a read through Digital_Blues beginners guide.

All the best dude

As said not open for public discussion,

I can advice those of you that want to know more now to go to the toool website and look for Han-Fey's pdf's on Abloy and other simular working locks, theres 4 papers i think on the Abloys and you will find all the information you want there,

Sorry chaps but L-O-C-K-E-D
