American 1105 help?

ARGH! i found this great 1105 series american padlock, but it has serrated pins, and i suck at picking them. It's a removable cylinder, so i was gonna take it out, but since i cant pick it, its a no go. I'm looking for any info you have on this lock. Stuff like is it a ball bearing? is there any way to bypass it? Thanks in advance

Re: American 1105 help?

well the best method i would recomend is using a wafer breaker and then going in there with the peterson bypass tool and poping it open that way, otherwise your gonna have to pick it :)

Re: American 1105 help?

it shouldnt have a wafer. or at least they are not standard like that...
but yeah it is a ball bearing mech.
i would try light raking with a short hook or offset ball for the false set, and then lightly spp.

Re: American 1105 help?

you slide it down the bottom of the keyway and twist back & fourth until you feel it drop down further then you twist and you should be able to feel the cam turning.

Re: American 1105 help?

I had seen a vid on youtube were a guy made the bypass tool out of a piece of a large three ring binder. He had to do some reshaping but it worked. I've got the bypass tool and it is extremely easy to use, although there are some locks that seem to have tighter tolerances and it is hard to get it in postion. I'll see if I can't dig up the link.

Oh, you are a naughty, naughty boy. You lost your picks? Hang your head and walk in shame for a minimum of 3 days!


BTW I totally agree with USMC on this one. :D
