Abloy locks

Postby Tatti » 18 Jul 2005 1:40

Hello
I just found this forum but I have been interested about lockpicking for a long time now. But every lock in our house is ABLOY classic and I don't know anything about them. Should I just forged those locks and get some else? So I could use some help.

Ps. Sorry about my bad English.

Ps2. Ja terve vaan kaikille muille suomalaisille jannuille.

edit. Oops. Sorry I wasn't trying to make new topic :oops:
Sorry about my bad English.
I will pick Abloy someday :D

Use the search function. :) Also, it would be better to start off on something easier and work up.

Get a pin tumbler lock, the abbloy is easily picked with a specific decoder but otherwise its a hard manual pick for a learner,

Try out a normal lock that has pins, have a look for a padlock or somthing that you will find easier to hold to begin with,

Look in the FAQ sections of site, read the MIT guide and you will get a better idea on what to do.

Welcome to the site and ALWAYS search before posting a question.

Even in Finland, surely they have some cheaper locks? They can't all be that rich!

Actually I had one pin tumbler lock on my desk. But I detached it when I was little. Like I told you I have been interested about lockpicking for a long time :D
But in some bikes desks we have those other locks.

So... Are Abloy locks too hard for a beginner? And is it totally different picking technique?

Abloy's use rotating disks. You'd be better off starting with pin tumbler locks.

Have a look at the Abloy's here: (Cormu has some excellent images starting on page 4 I think :? )

I can't believe it. Every lock in the sovereign territory of Finland is an Abloy?

It's sad, but true.. I think 99% of all door locks are Abloys here :(
Of course we have all kinds of padlocks.. :roll:

I think more. I haven't never seen anything else doorlock in Finland. If there is only one lock at the door it's surely abloy.

In appartment houses they have usually these http://img.armo.ru/partners/662_1.jpg I think.

Here is good pictures about Abloy Exec: http://www.padlockpeople.com/abloy/exec.htm

Quite safe country I think :D

Far better than most of our users' Finnish, (disregarding the Finns of course) and better than some of the English-speaking users.
