Disc tumbler lock

Hi this lock you're seeing is on a broken laundry machine in a junkyard nearby and we need to pick this lock before we can get rid of it. I have a ton
of picking experience with regular pin and tumbler locks but this looks like I'm gonna need a double sided lock pick. Any ideas, suggestions, comments? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It looks like a normal Wafer lock, it shouldn't be terribly hard.

Some of the tumblers pick one way, some pick the other. You can use a single sided pick (or rake) and do one side at a time, just pay attention that your tension wrench is in a place that allows you to access both sides.

If I had a quarter for every close up pic of a laundry room washing machine coin mechanism, or dormitory Coke machine lock, I'd be a rich man.

I think there's actually a thread dedicated to people who just joined and are immediately asking how to pick a very specific lock, usually as quickly and quietly as possible, and always including a photo of a close up of a lock that is obviously in use on a vending machine, washing machine, roof access hatch, or dorm room door at their university.

We cannot help you, these posts automatically set off flags and trigger people's spidey senses (thanks Evan for that one :-)

Good luck with your project, I'm gonna leave this open, so you can post a photo of your washing machine sitting in a junkyard, maybe we can help you once that pic is posted, but even then we probably won't since if we tell you how to get into your "junkyard" machine, anyone else with Google search can later on find instructions how to get into a machine in their laundry room.

I know the economy is tough, but theft of service is not the answer.

I think it's a DUO, the keys have more stuff going on than a normal wafer key.

Looking closer at reflection in the picture, it looks like the "junkyard" is a hallway. Don't I feel like a fool for not seeing that until you pointed it out... :oops:

For some reason I thought everybody came here legitimately. Still too innocent, I guess. hehe

Didn't look at the reflection until now, it's defiantly inside though.

@djkub:

Your junkyard is very dark and must be inside since you needed a flash to take the picture...

I know of no outdoor junkyards that are open at night for safety and liability reasons...

Could you provide the address of this indoor junkyard ? It sounds like such a novel concept that I want to go visit it myself...
