Beat the brinks and the American 1105? Step up to Kryptonite padlock. It has 6 pins: 5 serrated key pins and the 5 spool drivers that are serrated at the bottoms as well. The first column of pins is plain.

this is the hardest padlock I have encountered.

Buying one would be cheaper than mailing it. These little things are extremely heavy for their size. I have to take the core out because it is daunting on the wrists to hold it for so long.

I don't have a scale, but I venture to guess that it weighs 3 to 4 lbs. Heavy little bugger for a lock.

Around here if i want a lock like that, i have to go see a locksmith. And most of them will rip you off!! It's kind of cheaper to get them off the net !!

kryptonite

Postby raimundo » 28 Apr 2007 8:59

kryptonite has many varieties of lock, many of them very easy, but one I encounterd had a wicked zigzag keyway, I couldn't pick it the time that I tried, it belonged to a friend, it was on a bicycle cable lock, very tiny completely paracentric keyway, nothing I had at the time was getting it, this is why you eventually need to learn to make your own picks but if you arent gonna sand them then forget it.

That about 40 USD!?!? Did you get the same lock as in the pic I posted above? These locks here in the states run about $20 USD per lock.
