Schlage Wafer Pics?

Postby jla » 17 Jun 2007 17:37

I was looking at Lockpickshop.com and ran across this http://www.lockpickshop.com/SA-01.html. I was just wondering if somebody could post, or link me to, a picture of a lock that this might be used to pick. I have read the information about it and searched up and down for further information, but I still don't understand what the keyway, that this would be used for, looks like.

Try this Justin- http://cgi.ebay.com/Schlage-Antique-Bra ... dZViewItem

the keyway is usually an arrow kinda shape, as you can see in the pic. I've only ever seen them in knoblocks, and never in a deadbolt (however just because I haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exhist)

They are an easy pick, however they aren't really used anymore. Asides from pics on the internet, I've only ever seen two in use.

Hope this helps

I've never even had the opportunity to see one in the wild at all.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Alright, thanks alot. If they are easy to pick and uncommon, I see no reason to go through all of the trouble of purchasing the picks and the lock for such invaluable practice.
