Re: Cold War Decoder Lockpicks

Never seen anything like those. Cool stuff.

They look like they pick/decode lever locks.

Re: Cold War Decoder Lockpicks

I think that photo was originally from an article that Marc Tobias wrote for Forbes a few years ago. Unfortunately, there's not much more detail in the article, other than a note that they're for cruciform locks: "Shown are two versions of a clever decoder and pick for a special type of pin tumbler lock that contains four separate rows of pins."

Re: Cold War Decoder Lockpicks

I was wondering about cruciform keys, but could not be sure if my old eyes an small phone screen were not seeing correctly.

Thanks!
