Worn old Stanley 50mm padlock - Picked 'Monkey down the Keyway' style

Something different.
Just showing some basic lock 'picking' or rather raking of a popular lock in South Africa. About the only thing the Stanley 50mm has going for itself is that the cylinder fit is quite sloppy and wears out even more with age which for an older used lock makes tensioning a bit of an art.

This one was such an older lock and took a few goes at it on camera, but really results vary from anywhere between seconds to a few minutes, usually if the pinning is a bit more fancy.

All that aside these locks are also entirely vulnerable to shimming.
