    That master lock I’m familiar with, I’ve actually got one sitting on my shelf righ now. I could be mistaken; but I could have sworn those were warded lever locks; needing more than just the tip, but at least one if not two other positions to raise all of the levers as well. Perhaps I was wrong there, they may be even cheaper than I had thought (I’ve not actually dissected one as they’re riveted together).

    As I had said; exceptions.

    The tubular lockpick is what I posted… So yeah, I’m aware of it and it’s usage…


    Or you buy the right key, which is what OP did.

    This has been my point in this entire conversation. OP didn’t buy some magic ‘universal key’, they bought a regular key that happens to be commonly used. Nothing special.

      Well there is a point to be made how many systems are keyed alike and the game isn’t “who has the right key” but more “who has bothered to buy a key” Using standard keys like the CH751 is very close to locking your cabinets with a security torx screw.
