A few locks have me completely confused

Postby Slicer250 » 28 May 2009 17:36

Hi, I'm new to this hobby, but I've gotten hooked pretty quickly. My dad has a friend that's really into picking locks and he let me borrow some of his high security locks *that are cut-aways* so I could see how they worked and maybe try and pick them. Well, I honestly have no clue on how to pick these locks or if I even have the right tools to do so. The locks in question are: Abloy, Schlage Primus, ASSA, and a Medco. So I was just wondering if you could spread some light on the subject of picking these locks for me, thanks!

They are all high security locks. I'm afraid they are very difficult to pick and a poor choice for a beginner. The site rules prohibit posting any specific information here about picking them.

Talk to the person that loaned them to you. Also you could google "sidebar locks".

It's alot better to start picking regular locks before moving on to these.
Yes there cool and have alot of interesting things happening inside of them but you got to start at the beginning of the process if you well.
If you have picked locks before then it's just a matter of time and a little effort in post to get to the point of being able to find the answers you are looking for.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I have a few regular locks that I practice on a lot, and since I'd only practice one them before I had no idea how you could even pick that so I figured this would be the place to ask, anyway I'm hoping I'll be able to talk to the guy who loaned them to my dad this weekend, thanks!
