Abloy 3015-3017 padlock

[geoffreyhowes]

I have been given a Abloy padlock 3015-3017.
They lost the key and bolt cropped it, i would like to have a play at opening it. I know it is maybe a little advanced for my skill level but it is worth a try. I have been serching the forum and I think it is only for the advanced section but I though i would ask, is it worth me posting any pictures?

You can post pictures of the lock but opening procedures are not discussed in the open forums. Not that there are any real opening procedures for most abloy locks. Atleast not for us mere mortals who do not have access to government tools .

When I work out to do it i will.

There is a sticky detailing how to post pictures here:

That looks easy enough.

there are special picks for it, expensive, however, you could probably xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx the rest of the pick is a xxxxxxxx some handles, on the expensive ones, the handles are knurled knobs, but I think plastic or even wood would make better knobs, since they are much lighter, steel knurled knobs are a machinests conciet. heavy enough to bend the delicate parts of the pick if its dropped.


Have a read of zekes post above,

I do love these rough guides u type out. when i know what ur explaining they make perfect sense but when i was new around here and didn't know about some of the tools you explain i had no idea what you were trying to explain

Jack you pretty much got it dead on. I am new here and have absolutly no idea how what he posted has any relevance to the topic at hand.

well thats for good reason, the tool he was describing is restricted to the advanced forums. but stick around and you can read all about them when u get in.

Hope you can see the pic's its the first time I have posted images.
I know its advanced stuff, is it similar to the Tibbe locks is Ford cars where you have to line up a bar which drops into a notch on the edge of the tumbler and allows the cylinder to turn.
any help in understanding the mechanics would be helpful.
cheers
