    Default Picking Norman Locks

    Picking should really be difficult. Some decoding techniques come to mind, however. Go between disks and feel for balls, or make a pin and cam style setup key.
    With the little market share of these locks, likely nobody made such tools.

    Add to the fact that no keys were every uncut from the factory and none from after market sources. So all keys will have to be made.

    Well, a few of the key blanks did make it out of his factory. Yes, I have 3. Here is a front and back shot.

    Ok.... I am really wanting those right now. I do thank you for the pictures now with the broken keys I have I can maybe make some keys maybe. I knew the tips were broken but the locks still work. You can pull the keys out upside down with the tip broken. Another Locksmith did that and handed me the lock like he had picked it. Good joke really.
