Hello Lemmy! Is it time for our own locked safe story? I found this old piggy bank in a second hand store in Sweden. No key, and there is a few coins in there by the sound of it.

Anyone recognize the type of lock? How would you get it open? Is drilling my only option, or could a total beginner (except in Skyrim) pick the lock?

Thanks!

The word for “key” in Swedish is apparently “nyckel”, so I searched for “Boras Sparbank nyckel” and found this image: https://img.tradera.net/images/126/359485126_7256c982-4769-42b6-a266-35ab201f8fee.jpg

It looks like it could be a very simple lock with only two pins. I don’t think it would be very hard to create some kind of tool that fits in the two channels on either side of the brass piece to allow you to tension the lock. Then you’d just need a simple pick to reach the two pins.

This. I’m no lockpicker myself but I’ve seen enough LPL to expect that with the right tools, this probably is within the realm of skill of a fairly novice lockpicker.

Those aren’t pins, it looks like a lever lock, or a warded lock.
