@znhunter:

I have seen locksmiths struggle with U-Change cylinders using electric picking guns...

Learn how to SPP...

There are only 5 pins and 4 bitting depths with U-Change locks...

Everything inside these locks is much larger than a typical split pin tumbler lock...

In addition to the thread linked by mh, there are others which discuss U-Change locks here:

A detailed internal breakdown of the lock: U-Change user-rekeyable lock breakdown

It seems a bit odd that someone with such a low post count would be seeking information specifically about U-Change locks which are a niche market item... I am not accusing you of having malicious intentions or anything but this lock is definitely not a newbie type item... Care to explain your interest in more detail ?

If you search on YouTube "U-Change Lock Picked" you will find quite a few videos of them being picked open.

@znhunter:

Yes, U-Change locks can be picked...

As far as bump keys ?

You can not obtain blanks for these locks... You could machine your own but you would have have a key which you would sacrifice as well as measure the adjustable pins to determine how deep to machine the key...

It is just a larger mechanism than most other pin tumbler cylinders the plug being almost 3/4" in diameter...
