Identify keyway EVVA lock

Postby Anders78 » 8 Jan 2018 18:31

Hi All,

I am fairly new to lock picking and I set myself a goal for motivation and I am wanting to be able to pick this type of lock:

I think it is an EVVA EPS? Could someone say what type of lock it is, so I know what type of pins there are, is there a sidebar etc so I can practice to get there? And the lock is situated in Sweden.

the [image] command needs the direct URL to the image file, your actual pic is here: http://oi68.tinypic.com/2u7r2ue.jpg

Why do you need to pick that lock, it looks like it is a locked door to something. Is it your door? One of the main rules of hobby lock picking is that we do not pick locks that are not ours to pick.

Thanks for the help with the image.

It represents something to me, it is a high-end lock in the area where I live. As I said a motivational goal.

Nobody that can identify this lock and keyway and what it contains?

What a shame, there does not seem to be a way to edit post.

Thanks for clarifying the site rules, Squelchtone.

Let me say that I am not picking incorrect locks I am going to buy a lock like those to pick, I just want to know what to buy and what the keyway contain so I can progress in a reasonable way.

You just posted 1 day ago, please be patient, sometimes it takes a few days for people to visit the forum and see posts.

You can visit ASSA website and look at different model locks and see if any of them have that keyway. Usually we do not identify which mechanism is in a lock by the key profile alone.

*and yes EDIT is disabled because too many people would be tough behind the keyboard and talk sh*t and then delete their posts later and pretend they are angels, so Edit was turned off years ago.

It looks like an EPS to me. They are on the lower end of the EVVA lineup so you should be able to find one for a reasonable price. I think it's a particularly hard lock to pick due to the keyway. I have gotten all the other EVVA locks picked (excluding MCS) but was unable to open the EPS. I think the lock is similar to the d12 in that if it has high cuts in the 5th or 6th positions it makes it significantly harder to pick.
