7 Pin Tumbler Money bag

[Shrub]

What are you going to get when you prove your success? The other bag full of 100$ bills?

Just kidding...

Sorry to drag up an old ass post but I'm new and I got this same money bag. It was cut up because the owner lost the keys and then it was given to me. I thought it was going to be a fairly high security lock, but I got it open in a few minutes with a rake. Besides being a very tight and stiff lock it seems as easy as any normal pin tumbler lock.

I don't know why the pic won't show up but like I said I'm new. I can link more pics of the lock, key, and tools used if anyone wants to see them.

Would be glad to see the pics. We like lock pics!

Ok I don't know why but my pics aren't showing up. If you right click on the word image and then click view image you can see them. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong I'd love to fix this post for you guys.

Here it is picked open. This lock is designed in such a way as to retain the key until the lock is locked. Guess they don't want keys locked in bags. Haha.

Standard front view with the key in it.

If you flip the bag out of the way you can see one of two screws that retain the lock in the bag.

Here's the break down. I wanted to see if it could be rekeyed. You can see the lock, lock retainer plate, and cut up zipper bag.

Here you can see the zipper locking area and if you notice on the key is a serial number...

There's that serial number again. The back of the lock is rivited and doesn't seem to be serviceable. 1 lock and 2 keys. You want more I guess you gotta call the company.

Last but not least are the keys.

Nice job picking that MMF bag. =)

The reason your [IMG] links didnt work is that even though your URL ends in .jpg the way drop box handles it, by showing the image inside a web page make the .jpg link appear as a whatever.html page with an image embedded in it, so the [IMG] tags do not see the actual graphic file. I changed them to [URL] tags so they are at least clickable.



+1 on the Arizona Green Tea!! my favorite!

Thanks for the help. I guess next time I'll have to upload the images to a hosting site like photo bucket or something. I was surprised that I got the mmf lock open so quick. It is very stiff and required way more tension than I would have thought, but with a good rake action and bouncing the tension wrench it popped right open. I suppose for more challenge I should single pin pick it.

congrats on picking it

I've one of the exact same locks. It rakes open in a few seconds. Not what I would consider at all secure, but given the use case, perhaps adequate.

opening it by SPP will take some practice. However a snake rake will open these guys in seconds. Bottom of the key way tension is recommended for the snake rake method. If doing SPP then probably top of the key way tension would be best.
