This lock is looks very much like the 2 brick wall safe's that was for sale in my shop recently. Also in barry's blog... he picks this lock and takes around 2omins i think

Every crucifix or cross style lock I have ever tried to pick opened very easily with a cross pick. Its great becuase the tensioner is all built into the pick. I think it is due to the sloppy tolerances usually involved with this style of lock and the limited range in pin variation. I have only needed it 1 time for a steering column guard, but it got the job done in no time.

Agreed, but excellent for the newbie lockpicker looking for somthing differant besides hand picks,these work very simalar to jiggler keys (easy)

not cross, star, or crucifix.

Cruciform.

In the US I have only heard it referred to as a cross lock, because it was a popular lock brand for steering column locks in the US for pick-up trucks a while back. I have never seen that style lock on anything else.

A quote from Greymans excellent book

Cruciform locks, from the Latin word "crux" meaning "cross."

I could call a Milled key a "long pointy" too. Still wouldn't be correct.

HHHmmm - seems to be confusion

not cross, star, or crucifix , = Cruciform. Ive heard all these sayings - they all mean the same thing

simalar to usa and uk sayings - trunk mean boot in uk,
trash can , means little bin - in uk
truck means - lorry in uk
are we on the same rail rd / track / train lines /

catch you soon guys - hope this clears it up

These are Star Keys. This is a cross pick, me's thinking. Just to throw a hand grenade in

Bumping old topics is eye-stab-worthy.

Don't make me stab your eye.
