4 bucks, people, 4 bucks!!!

No keys on any of them. This is the kind of picking i love the most. Old unkeyed locks that you pick open, restore and even rekey where you can.

They are some real good looking ones in ther too. Like this one, if anyone knows what kind of lock this is i'd love to know:

Anyways, I'll be working on these for a while and if any have anything good in them i'll be sure to post some more photos.

I like the lock in the last pic! I can't remember which lock that is, it reminds me of the Kaba Quattro but I don't think it's that.

Looks pretty darn similar. Probably works on a similar premise.

Nope, they had these 10 foot shelves stacked with boxes of lock knobs and other door hardware, just had to dig deep to find all these cylinders at the bottoms. No padlocks unfortunately. But still plently still out there waiting to be found. Once i'm done with these i'll be back out there again!

Indeed it seems to be. Managed to disassemble it. Wish i could say i picked it but all you need to do is take it out of the outer housing and slide a cover off.

The plug

the hull

One of the pins stacks, there's 22 of these

Here's some info I found on the web. Check out page 123.

Yeah, not happening.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone picking a Quattro.
I believe there are tools available.

I think it's definitely the KABA, i just looked at mine and it's exactly the same.

Sweet! Pretty bloody happy with this score. Given up trying to pick it though, its just one for the collection.
