Just got myself that lock....

Anybody no of any cutaways of these locks, or any sort of diagram that might give me some heads-up on what I am in for when trying to pick it??

It looks like a nasty bugger lol :(

five pin lock,

Postby raimundo » 10 Feb 2005 10:39

five pin lock, the numbers indicate its dimensions in metric, and there will be a few security pins but not a difficult lock.

Its mostly the restricted keyway that gives me trouble. Euro ('slimline') picks highly recommended. Use a fairly light touch, remember it doesn't have a spring like most padlocks, so treat it like a deadbolt.

Yeah the key-way is restricted like a bugger :( I had noticed that lol.

I had to start of with one of my smallest/thinnest little reaching rods I call them.#

Just basically a strip of metal with a slight curve along it's axis towards the front tip.. That and a safety pin are about the only things I can sue on it so far...

Going to be interesting this one :)

Restriced keyways are my achillies heel too. I asked about it a while back and Romstar had some instructions on pick modification the have worked fairly well for me. Search it up and give it a whirl, if I'm not mistaken the title of the thread was "restriced keyway"

abus

Postby raimundo » 12 Feb 2005 10:39

that abus uses a yale type keyway, of the smaller type, probably a y12, if this is too restricted for your pick, you are using to large a pick, make yourself a nice small pick with a smaller shaft.
