Lince - the unpicable

Postby zendude » 20 Dec 2009 8:01

for the last three weeks i've been playing with a Abus 65/40, but now i can open it in about 12 sec. with a bobby pin. I can't find more than a single spooled pin, so i guess its a sorry excuse for an A-65/40.
Moving on, i borrowed a key less lock from a friend, trusting my emerging picking skill and my lucky amulet, i locked it right away. in retrospect, not my brightest idea!
The lock i a 5-pin padlock named "Lince" made i Spain. Aside from being least a couple of years old, i know nothing bout this lock, so any information on this brand would be much appreciated

light tension wins again, :wink:

bouncing/intermittent tension also works on some locks, it allows pins that are binding to fall

I just returned the lock, so i wont be able to get my fat greasy fingers on any Pic's before 'next year'.
I can't find it on the Lince page,but its a ordinary brass pad lock with a steel shackel. There's no logo on the brass part, just the brand name.
after picking it a handful of times i found that the tension should only be light until the sheer line is set, then it needed medium to light destructive tension to open.
and thx. for the link, even thou my spanish is worse than bad, it still looks like they got pretty fancy locks.
