Tensioning a tubular lock?

[Wozzlock]

I bought this cool tubular lock from uklockpickers after seeing that picking vid on YT with that custom tension tool. Thing is, this lock doesn't have the notch in the centre so I can't tension it that way.

The inner plug and key are hexagonal in shape so I was gonna grind some metal off one key where the metal usually presses the pins down, about 8mm allowing it to still grip the corners of the hexagon, but giving me enough room to get a pick in there. / Thinking about it now, it's gonna be a bitch to get a pick in with the bulk of the key in the way, maybe slice the end of the key off/ drill through/ attach bar for tension?

Good idea or am I gonna just wreck a key?

Anyone got any better ideas? ...and not to buy a tubular pick

Cut the key like that and it will flare out, and be a waste of time. It's brass man, don't expect wonders.

I'd try modifying the original tubular tention wrench idea, just make it so tight that it will fit over one of the flat spots, but will bind as soon as you turn. Might take some careful filing.

These are the picks for them locks

Yeah but that's no fun.

I made a tension tool that works but when I press down on the pins I get nothing. No click, no binding, nothing? I am just going off that youtube vid and have no knowledge of the workings of a tubular lock... which would help! Don't know what to do next?

Just by the few standard tubular locks I've had to pick with a tention wrench, they need heaps of torque to pick. I don't know if you'll get enough with that wrench. you may need to make one that engages opposing flats.

I've never had to pick one with a TW so it may work, I don't know.

Another thing that sucks is that you have to keep picking it over and over until it turns around enough to open the lock.
