so i would post on another thread but my search for 5200, american, and other keywords came back with no results. anyways, here it is, a super-smooth picking of one of my 5200's.

I was digging around on the web and happened upon the American Lock Company padlock service manual. It has helped me out a bit with understanding how the guts of these type of padlocks work. I may be a newbie but I think it might do some of the new guys some good.

It would figure that just when I think I have found something useful one of you guys has already found it. Albeit under a different thread but none the less. *expletive!

well i am pretty sure i found a bypass to the 5200. only problem is i want to discuss it and cannot. got a new vid up on youtube of picking the 5200 with paperclips (not using the bypass) and would love to talk to one of those people who can get into the "advanced" place where you can discuss it. anyone who can talk about it i would appreciate it.

ps here is the paperclip vid.
