Need D&S info for ABUS 24 Diskus padlock

I got one of these on a chain and after much effort got it picked. Now I would like to make a key for it. I had a couple of Y6 (997X) blanks and tried to impression it before I got it picked. I still need more practice with impressioning and I over cut my first blank.
I have been able to get a read on the first 3 pins now that it is picked. I think I can get close but would like to have the D&S info to make sure.
Thanks for any help anyone can send. I tried the net but can't seem to find any info that applies to my lock.

TIA
Steve

Here is what I got from IC

The 24/50 and 24/60 should be the same specs. That is a 4 pin.
The 24/70 is a 5 pin.

Re: Need D&S info for ABUS 24 Diskus padlock

Thanks Mastersmith...I had those but needed the 4 pin 24/50 info. Thank you for your time.

Werewolf...you win! That is just what I needed. It fits very close to what I had guessed from looking in the key hole. I will add this info to my notebook for future use.

I did note that the first 3 pins in my lock are each at a deeper root depth and the 4th pin is at a very shallow depth (learned from picking).
I plan on filing down a blank until it just fits under the first (highest pin) and that should give me its root depth. I will then file the blank down more until it just fits under pin 2 and the repeat with pin 3. That should give me accurate root depths for the first 3 pins.
I can then cut a blank to these first three depths and then file the 4th cut a bit at a time until the lock opens. That is the plan for now anyway.
I can get good measurements for the first 3 pins since the lock is still picked and the pins are at the shear line. I will have to re-lock the pad lock in order to cut the fourth pin notch.

Thanks again for all the help. The folks here are great with sharing info and I have not been able to "stump" all the members yet. Someone always knows the answer and is willing to share.
Thanks to all........

Steve - let's try to stump them. We need the depth cuts and spacing specs for a MIWA EC. :mrgreen:

Re: Need D&S info for ABUS 24 Diskus padlock

KEY UP DATE.......
I was able to make a key for the lock and it works well. However the measurements I made and the cuts that worked were different from 24/60 etc.
This is what worked out;
pin 1 .218 (root cuts)
pin 2 .193
pin 3 .165
pin 4 .201

I think these are too far off from the 24/60 specs to be due to some +/- factor as the lock is to well made for this.
Anyway, I wanted to give an update and say that I now have a working key.
Thanks to everyone for their help......
