Any recommendations for nice tubular locks? This ones just one of those cheap cabinet types so not much of a challenge.
minus-squarepezhore@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 months agoI’m just getting into tubular lock picking, and I cannot seem to get the Sparrow Mantis wrench to fit on my first tubular lock. I may grab some smaller bike locks this weekend/go thrift shopping to see what I can find.
minus-squarelfisk@infosec.exchangelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months ago@pezhore @ilovecheese Might want to post some images, showing the problem and/or the Name+Model for the lock in question. There are quite a few different size tubular locks and not all of them can be tensioned in the same way. If you know the name/model… you could also try searching youtube with it and see if anyone else has opened it and what they used😉
minus-squareilovecheese@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoI’ve only picked a few tubulars, most can be tensioned with almost anything as long as you can get it into the notch of the centre. There’s a couple of common diameters used so a couple of tensioners are handy. Time to dig out my tubular locks again!
