Saw another new type of lock today~

Anyone know what to call this thing?

It is similar to a tubular lock in that you have to push down pins to a correct depth before the lock will turn.

I tried picking it but once you set 3 of the pins the tension is so strong on the last pin that it gets locked up. I try releasing some tension, but that usually unsets everything else. I am still working on it. I am not sure if a special tool is required.

It uses the same locking principles as a Bramah, Fontaine, Pollux, and Supra. It is a clever design, with wafers shaped almost like a U, instead of pins. Would like to get ahold of one of those locks with keys. If you are up for a trade or sale, PM me!

Yeah, I love high security tubular lock types. I would like one too!

And no special tool is needed. It just takes practice. That will not likely be built to Bramah standards.

Gordon

thats pretty cool, I'd like one too.

whats the name on the key? where'd you get it?

thanks for sharing.

Hey Guys!

I found this lock at a random store here in my town in Taiwan. I am not sure how many that store has left. There is no clear name on the keys, just a logo (the "S" shaped thing) and some numbers (789).

If it's worth my time I could try to go hunting for more and sell/trade to you guys.

PM me with an offer to buy/trade if you guys are interested and I will get back to you if I can find more.

I am going to hazard a guess that shipping from here to the USA will cost somehow around $5 USD, but I would have to go to the Post office and confirm.

I'll be sure to post any more interesting locks I find here in case you want any for your collections.

Thanks!
