  • This is the lock picking lawyer, and what I have for you today is a vintage Vero padlock that I'm told was made in Italy during the 19 seventies or eighties.

  • These locks appear to have been marketed as a stylish option, being made in five different colors.

  • This is obviously the blue one, but there were also red, yellow, white and black versions.

  • The construction is fairly solid, with a roughly 2.5 millimeter thick grip steel lock body in a 10 millimeter thick steel shackle, and that shackle is held closed with a non schimmel mechanism.

  • The court is a way for design that actually gave me a bit of trouble the first time I tried it because of restrictive warding.

  • However, once I put a light in that key way and so what the warning looked like, it became a whole lot easier.

  • So let's get this open right now going to pull the shutter aside and put tension on the core with this wiper insert.

  • And to manipulate the wafers, I'm using the standard hook in 25 thousands.

  • Okay, click out of one click on to and then from three back, I need to rotate the pick to get on top of the wafer.

  • That was 34 five can six.

  • Let's see what's holding us up.

  • Not 12 Here we go, number three and we got this open.

  • So as you can see, once you know how to approach picking those wafers, they're not terribly difficult.

  • But if you just try to break this lock, I think you'll find the warding does a great job of protecting it.

  • So hats off to Vero for making the most of an ordinary wafer lock, but it is still a wafer lock.

  • In any case, that's all I have for you today.

  • If you do have any questions or comments about this, please put them below.
