Scandinavian Jail Lock and home brew key
Got this Scandinavian Jail Lock without a key. Was going to pick it, but decided on something a little more ambitious. Make a key.
Impressioning is kind of out of the question. This is a disc lock with five iron discs. There is no sidebar. When the discs line up, circular cutouts in their outer edges line up with the shackle.
Too late tonight for a full how-to guide, so just the pictures of the lock and key.
First of all, this lock is a bit on the large side. Certainly would not want this lock dropped on my foot!

This lock-on-a-stick is an iron rich food.

Picture of key turned in lock. This does not mean much, as a properly made blank will turn in the lock, too.

The key works!!! The shackle is removed. By examining the shackle, you can see that there are five discs that engage the shackle.

An end view of the key. The metal used is 1/4" (8mm) bar aluminum filed to the correct width, center drilled to 3/16" diameter by 2" depth
