I admit, I have got a lock fetish. Especially when it concerns government or military locks.

\"nato<\/a><\/p>\n

Well … Yesterday at some sort of flea market<\/a> in Amsterdam I found some interesting suitcases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some with labels and stickers that caught my attention.
\nTriggers like: Nato unclassified<\/a>, Nato Awacs<\/a>, and various <\/a>other stickers<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But the best was yet to come: some cases had locks on them, with complicated looking keyways!<\/a><\/p>\n

So getting the cases for 10 euro each was not a problem and I immediately took them to my favorite locksmith. He studied the lock for a minute orso, and then tried a DOM blank (silca DM28)<\/a>…. It was the correct blank …<\/p>\n

\"flight<\/a><\/p>\n

On one hand I was happy he had blanks for me, on the other hand I was a little disappointed the locks were not extreme high security and had restricted profiles. <\/p>\n

\"dom<\/a><\/p>\n

Needless to say I went home and tried to make a key for the locks via impressioning. But that was much harder as I thought as the plastic from the side of the case<\/a> the lock was mounted in absorbed my movements. <\/p>\n

So I first had to pick the small five pin locks in order to open the cases, then remove the lock and mount them in a vice.<\/p>\n

But after that it went relatively smoothly and a correct key was made in a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n

Now I just need to find a purpose for the damn cases …..<\/p>\n

* Update: in the comments, Agent X is asking for more images of the cases.
\nHere they are, enjoy: cases1.jpg<\/a>, cases2.jpg<\/a>, cases3.jpg<\/a> and label.jpg<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
