I've always wondered how to do that. Do you eff around with it with a screwdriver? Hit it relentlessly with a hammer? I have 4 of them, so I wanted to see that was inside! (all normal pins for sure)

Yeah, probably, there isn't a screw at the bottom of where the shackle goes. It's probably not worth it, but I'm sick of them b/c all you have to do is put the back of your pick in it to open it! :mrgreen: (LOL) :mrgreen:

this works well on pretty much any brass padlock.

They are Diane Von Furstenburg (clothing/luggage designer), and I cant even get a pick OR wrench in there (TINY keyway). The key way is set really deep, so I need to make some mods to one of my picks and make a realy tiny wrench. I should post some pictures. THey are kinda pretty LOL!


Yeah, my master baggage locks are weird b/c the bottom of the keyway is bigger than any other lock that I own! Also, my grandma has some "pretty" swiss baggage locks. (no pins) Maybe I should post some pics too!
