UK Padlocks without mushrooms

Hi

Can any of you brits help with this?;

Have the southord 9 piece set, most enjoying picking, repinned a couple of cylinder locks with the great advice on the stickies and practiced feeling pins, picking 1,2 pin set ups. Most grateful for posts from Shrub et al. and generally glad this place exists! Now I'm a tad stuck.

All the padlocks I seem buy end up with security pins in them, even the relatively (Â£3- Â£4) cheap ones. The only padlock I have got hold that hasn't is a token samsonite travel padlock.

Do any of the main brands (yale etc.) do padlocks that don't have security pins in them? In an ideal world I'd get hold of a 4-5 pin padlock with no security pins. Can anyone recomend a make or model?

Any help would be much appreciated
Regards
Rob

With reference to yale i have a Number 45 padlock, 4 pin and no security pins. Easiest lock I have, not sure if they still make them however. Most Tri-Circle locks are low security and unlikely to have security pins. As previsously said, 1-5 master locks are your best bet.

Genius. Many thanks guys.

I have a tricircle "263" that i'm convinced has security pins in it. i.e. two pins that when raised move the barrell clockwise a fair bit, then when subsequently raised seem to move the wrench anticlockwise...

either that or I'm imagining it!

Does this concurr?

I would have thought that i doesn't but havent picked one myself. Some of those small brass padlocks do however.

Nice one UWSDWF, I thought it was the case. Mushrooms are way beyond me at the moment.

Mater lock 1-5 it is.

ususally spools in the tricircle

Ah, you identify my newbiness.. thought mushrooms were spools....Taxi for Rob.

by **UWSDWF** » 5 Jul 2007 17:11

close but but not the same ... mushroom pins look like.. well a mushroom and spool pins look like a spool (like that of which thread comes n)

Ah opologies then, mushrooms react much the same as spools giving a false set but are less common.
