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.
Try using a paperclip to push and turn?
What do you think is the most valuable coin that could possibly be in there?
Also what is the least valuable thing that makes a coin-like sound?
Use paperclips if you dont know what youre doing.
Is probably pretty easy to pick. And banks usually also have keys for these locks. I bet you can even find keys on Amazon.
