"best lock" padlock

"best lock" padlock

Postby Dinnella » 4 Apr 2007 8:24

I'm still very new to lock picking, so it may be a while before I can pick this lock, but currently it's locking something, I don't have the key, and picking it would be much more satisfying than cutting it off :twisted: .

It's a "Best" padlock, and I'm pretty sure that it's a 7-pin wafer tumbler

I'm hoping for advice on tackling this lock, as well as forseeable problems I may encounter, etc.

Since this lock is probably out of my league for the moment, are there any similar, easier-to-pick locks that will help take me towards my goal?
I'm hoping to go to home depot later to find something to practice on.

I did search for "best padlock", and looked at maybe 20 posts that had potential, and gave up, sorry I'm so lazy. :?

I realize that padlock may be out of my league for a while, but it's my longterm goal. I'm still only using makeshift tools, though hopefully not for long.

Best locks are very very rarely owned/used by private individuals. If it was your lock, it would be even more likely that you would have the key. However if you do own the lock, pick away. If you don't own the lock... don't pick it!
