    Default WISE-LOCK (concentric)

    Recently took a gander at my keyless, locked 'wise-lock'.I've seen these on ebay and on KP and LP101 forums but how many actual keyways did this lock have?

    As far as I know, Wise had but one flat key blank for their concentric tubular locking mechanism although equivalents were available from other after-market manufacturers, see attached thumbnail.

    So, if I were to buy a blank or 2 from ebay it would just be a shot in the dark and hope that it would work on my lock.

    A blank is just that, it needs to be cut with the proper bitting to fit your specific lock, see attached thumbnail.

    These are super easy to pick. I took all my vids down but I can add another once i get caught up and a new camera. No tension wrench required. I even have a few blanks left. You just have to pick ur lock open and cut the key blank to the corresponding rings.
