Bowley's doing a kickstarter for their new padlocks, with an improved double-bitted key...

Pretty interesting stuff. Anyone know if anybody has had any success yet picking the original Bowley deadbolt lock?

A video of a Bowley lock being picked and gutted was posted to YouTube yesterday.

In the comments below the video, Bowley respond by pointing out that perhaps it is more a case of making a 3 piece jiggler key to suit that individual lock's bitting & they may have a point.

They have agreed to send the person another lock for a blind picking attempt. The video's creator thinks that they will succeed in picking it. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.
