I'm trying to decide what's a good followup to the S&G 6804. My original plan was to try the S&G 6824 double-bitted 7-lever, and then move on up the chain to the 6860/70/80, but I read you can't pick the 6860+ with a hobb's tool... apparently a pin & cam tool is required? Not sure if that applies to the 6824 or not. I'm curious how much more difficult double-bitted locks will be to pick, assuming they can be picked with normal tools. Any other suggestions for a good challenge?

Have not picked one, but the lock works like a dial-type safe lock. But no flys. The key turns all the wheels at the same time, lining up the gates under the fence, which then falls into the gates. Guess you could think of it as being similar to an Abloy Classic, but the sidebar is the fence, which moves the bolt.
