Just got this HEAD padlock. There looks to be two bibles. They both have brass capped chambers, one has 5 one has 4, which makes sense in a blockout situation. The 5 pin keys I have will only turn clockwise to open the lock. I haven't attempting picking this yet but I may try picking CCW to the 2nd bible. The lock has side pins so I can't see how a 4 pin key can work as a lockout key unless the side pin cuts were moved on the key to compensate for a loss of 1 cut. I also can't see a way to remove the plug, there is no retaining clip. The fact that there are brass caps over the chamber holes makes me think I can't gut this without destroying it. Any ideas?

Now that I'm not posting while talking on the phone... it looks like the 2nd bible is for the side pins perhaps.

That makes a lot of sense.

What a beautiful padlock ya got there! I really like it.

yea holy hell that thing is cool. samus aran vid in the works?
