this is a really easy lock believe it or not cuz the key has 2 sides so i thought it was a warded lock but the key has 2 side just so when you put it in it wont be upside down. so here it is

that was way too dark... show us the keyway, the key if possible and the tools being used....otherwise it becomes a pretty lame vid

Its a 4wafer lock with a square key way. well on the one i have anyway. one wipe with a batman rake seems to open them with the right tension.

Glad 2 see u back hello man. but as said better lighting and a look at the tools is more helpful otherwise its just showing off and not really instructional.

All the best

When you forst started posting I figuered you would come and go.. kinda wierd post titles...but all in all ... your doing pretty well.. Keep it up and you will be suprised on what you are able to do.

Your video was a lillte dark, and ...you should tell us what your doing and with what. show us the key. the keyway, the pick and such. also your raked the crap out of that poor lock.....slow it down....take your time..your going to break something ripping the crap out of it. a lock is a small little thing..be easy on her.

you will find that those "double sided locks"{wafer locks} are not to hard to beat. Use a ball, half ball or double ball pick. or a small jigglers set. sometimes the tension is a little wierd...double sided tension tools are great for these locks i have found with my own experience.

I wish i had a video camera.. I would love to make some video's for ya all. .....some day...

Definately a great name for them!! :lol:

Have you ever noticed the similarity in shape to a 3 pointed Bogota rake? It lacks one undercut, and of course lacks Rai's incredible finishing....but I can't help but wonder if the 'batman rake' came about as a result of the big manufacturers getting their hands on a set of Bogotas? There is a strong resemblence.
