It's really a weird key, you don't see much of these

Do you live in france? it looks like one of the locks from chez/montmartre,serruresdehautesecurite' I am not gonna say I can pick it because Ive never seen one of them, Can you buy that in your local hardware store? How much? Does that type of key/mechanism come also on padlocks?

I do live in France. When i moved in my appartment the lock was already there. I once lost my key, we had to buy a new one and it cost us about 150$, just for 1 key. aint cheap...

I am not going to say it cannot be picked, but you have a very secure lock that is highly pick resistant and also bump proof.

For what it is worth, I do not classify the abloy protec as pick proof either. I consider it a highly pick resistant lock.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

Its a fichet, and im guessing from the image names its a 787. although I don't believe Deep linking is allowed on this forum.

As for the lock i don't have any experience with them but i hear good things about them. discussion of opening these will be restricted to the advanced forums.

All the best

This lock could be pickable.


If you are a beginner better try somethin else :wink: .

Please note that I've never seen such a lock. My theory is just based on your pictures.

You deserve a pat on the back, well done for being so sensible,

NIC, yes it is simular but only in the same way as a tubular pick is, it is closer to the latter :wink:
