Jj taylor lock manipulation

Tomorrow I get to go try and manipulate a JJ Taylor lock. Ive done many many sargent and greanleaf/laguard locks without problems but the 2 jj Taylors ive tried before I was unable to get. But i never let an opportunity pass me by.
Anyone have any tips with manipulating these locks?

Re: Jj taylor lock manipulation

Do you need pictures of the inside or do you know what you are working with? I have one on hand I could take any pics of that you need.

Re: Jj taylor lock manipulation

So it turns out its a diebold 4 wheel lock
According to the savta information its possible to manipulate. I was able to get the 4th number before I had to leave.. it sure doesn't give up numbers as easily as a laguard or S&G. Make you appreciate 3 wheel locks.
The owner had cut off the hinges, tried to drill in 1 spot and the handle to retract the bolt is broken off..
Going to give it another go in a week or 2...

Geez, lol.... sounds like you're lucky there's even a dial left on there to work with. Ha!

Sorry I have nothing helpful to offer. But I am curious - where's the CP's on that one?

Re: Jj taylor lock manipulation

Its a roller lock so There are 3 contact points, you ignore the second contact point and only take readings from 1 and 3.

If i recall 1 and 3 were at 90 and 10

Re: Jj taylor lock manipulation

Thanks! I always like to hear about & gather info on locks I have yet to encounter.

You talkin' bout the bolt type? A roller bolt?

So this is interesting. Given the container & handle, I was thinking along the lines of a
Diebold/Eagle 171 lock, or maybe a Peerless. But obviously, you catching more than
than 2 CP's suggests otherwise. What lock exactly is it you believe you have there?

If you were able to catch at least one gate... that's promising.
I'd say you've a pretty good shot at an opening. I'm rootin' for ya!

Re: Jj taylor lock manipulation

Oldfast, here is some pics of a J&J Taylor lock. They made them themselves instead of using a premade IIRC.

Front of the dial

Change index to the right instead of left like most

Back cover and change key hole

Re: Jj taylor lock manipulation

Yes that's what's definitely in there. I can always feel 3 contact points on these locks. The second point being very subtle but I have a sensitive touch..

Here is what I mean... Sorry for the confusion

With these locks you ignore the left contact point #1..

Re: Jj taylor lock manipulation

Actually come to think of it I could probably try ignoring the middle contact point.. Or graphing all 3 contacts point..but I've moved on from graphing but would be willing to pull out the graph paper to finally get one of these opened... Frustrating to go from 15-30 minute openings to complete failure!
