Fontaine Pump Lock
Posted: Wed May 22, 2013 2:56 pm
I've recently got hold of a Fontaine lock, and I was wondering if any of you out there has any experience picking this type of lock. I'd really appreciate any tips or info you may have.
I've also no idea when this lock was in circulation.
As you may know, Fontaine is a French lock maker. Apparently, this type of lock is used for some sort of pumping station / facility or equipment. The lock type is known as an Umbrella Lock.
So far, I have one small source of info here from Rickthepick. He links his blog entry in a lp101 post here.
I'm looking to collect any info/know-how you may have, especially on how I'm going to tension and pick this little puppy.
I'll update with any progress I make myself.
Many thanks.
