I'm still having trouble opening my Abus, I got a blank key (free of charge from my local locksmith ) yesterday to eventually make a key so I can re pin the lock to practice and see what security pins it has. My question is: Can anyone tell me if this lock can be bypassed using a comb pick or by some other means.

hey man, now that you mention it im about 80% sure i've seen somebody open it with a comb pick, i'm not sure about any bypassing methods that can be used on it tho, can you get it to the false set?

Yeh I can get the false set but when a back of the tension i hear the pins drop but think I'm getting caught with a serrated at the the back pin 5 or 6. pin 1 is a very high set
I could do with some comb pick dimensions

I just noticed I've been bumped up to level 1 Tanks

it wouldnt suprise me if romstar has one, you could always make a bump key out of the blank you have and try it that way? or if you really wanna you could make a foil impressioning key, this way you could get the lock open and have the biting, this however takes quite a bit of skill to do, other than that all i could really recomend is either light tension and really try and get a feel for the pins or just rake the hell outa it.

haha, yeah the ranking system goes on post same as on other forums.

Thanks for the pointers. Ill have to investigate what "foil impressioning" is.

Thats great cheers Romstar.
