Quite logical, but don't believe I ca modify the plastic sleeve existing on my Trek Kryptonite, planning trip to the hardware shop with the calipers... Well, I quizzed a lockmith on this a little while ago, and he sai that it's not a general flaw in barrel-key locks. The pin plungers i some cheaper lock cylinders (which Kryptonite went with when they move to Taiwan) are at just the right setback from the slot to be depresse by an angled object stuck in the keyhole. Older and higher quality loc systems have a different plunger arrangement which makes it mor difficult to pull the same trick. I tried it with an Abus, and an ol Citadel, with no unauthorised entry. The keys still worked afterwards. That's why monopolies are bad. When they finally exhibit their fata flaws, we're all in the #$%&. M "old U-locks make good boat anchors" -- mfhor |
