dont know what type of lock these are?

[luke42]

i have seen this lock a fair few places, it is pretty much what i would describe as a rectangle key whole with the top short side cut off. and from what i can tell it has pins on both sides. and are these locks pickable?

sorry about my descrition, i know its not the best, if no one can still say what it is i'll post up a small diagram.

cheers, luke.

Sounds like you're talking about double-sided wafers or dimples, and yes they can be picked. A picture would clarify things, though!

[luke42]

a better way to describe it would have been by saying that the key whole was like a U shape, i don't know if this diagram will help any more....

hi Luke that sounds like a Bilock to me and is an advanced topic but yes they can be picked.

Only the old generation, the new has yet to be picked as I recall. Globallockytoo, care to clarify here?

[luke42]

yep thats the exact one thanks, so they are un-pickable so far or what?

On the difficulty scale bilocks are on top of hardest locks to manipulate. The only more difficult locks are combination and electronic.

Unpickable... no, but you want to practice on a different lock. If you want to be an olympic gymnast your first day of training the triple twisty backflip off the high bar isn't where you start unless you want to be a paraplegic. The bilock is a triple backflip and unless you want to cripple your enthusiasm for lockpicking you should start with something MUCH easier.
