odd lock, what is it/key lookslike/how to pick?

Postby xtc » 7 Mar 2009 16:31

I'm new to lockpicking and locks, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of lock this is...it looks weird (has two prongs, pics below) and I have no idea where the key is. I was wondering if it's pickable.

theres no writing on it, so I don't know what kind of lock it is.

If you lost the key, I'm sure the manager of the Self Storage place where you are renting space, will gladly use his bolt cutters to help you out.

Alright. Thanks.

Is there anything special I should take into consideration with the pins/prongs when picking this lock or just do it like a normal padlock?

Well he did say he can't find the key anywhere, so I guess he's implying it's his, but who the heck takes pictures of their storage unit padlock the middle of the night? I don't like it.

Who in their right mind would use a warded padlock on a storage unit? Every school kid can open with a paper clip by about the 6th grade.
