has any one tryed or successfully picked a publics storage padlock

What... seriously? What kind of padlock are you talking about? Why do you want to know. How many seconds to I have? This is a questionable question.

Indeed, very questinable.

For the OP, we do not pick locks that are not ours or locks that we don't have permission to pick or locks that are in use. Also we don't support this kind of activity here, as we are a hobby lock picking community, not some "I have 2 legs 2 hands, I have to steal" -forum

Various companies rent storage lockers and sell branded padlocks to thier customers. These padlocks are typically some kind of master or abus knockoffs, made in china, I have picked one or two but so long ago that I cannot remember if they had any particular tricks,

When people no longer need the storage locker, they move their stuff and the padlock belongs to them, so its just a padlock with a brandname. Its not like picking a brinks can get you into the brinks truck.

Right now nobody is answering his question, it's really to vague to answer anyway. When the OP comes back and lets us know his intentions it may be locked. Raimundo is correct about the locks, we are giving the OP the benefit of the doubt right now.

Dilweed PM'ed me with his response for some reason, and it was to the tune of, my cousin had a lock sitting around his garage and I went to pick it, but none of my picks fit right and I can't feel the pins. He said it was a Public Storage brand padlock. I told him to search for warded padlocks and post in the forum so everyone can get something out of his experience. The details of his reply, and Raimundo's insight give me resonable doubt. I think what it's like to ask for a key blank at your local hardware store and get the look, or price gouged, even downright refused as often happens to me, at stores I have many times bought blanks at for 50 cents apiece. Anyway, I just thought I should post something.

Something interesting about Public Storage (not generic, but the company "Public Storage") is that you can use your own locks, but you have to take the lock to the manager's office and get a sticker to attach on the lock before it's approved.
