Sargent and Greenleaf 831

They've been replaced by the 833 nowadays (Medeco Biaxial core), but these do pack a Medeco Original core. The most typical application I've seen them used in is securing stores of explosives and small arms. Have fun picking it; do some research and find a way...make it work :-)

If you've only got a week with it, and you're not familiar with the theory behind picking a medico, my guess is you won't be able to pick it.

Medico locks are rough to get open. Search around a bit if you're not sure how they work though. Interesting locks, they are.

You're gonna really struggle with this mate.

You could try googling it for information, but I suspect that informaiton on how to actually open this lock would probably be restricted to the advanced forums.

Best of luck

Play by play of a lock being picked. That's pretty funny.
