(835) Brinks from White’s Locksmithing

Will the different sized hex screws EVER stop tormenting me?  Wow!  I don’t often get Brinks padlocks in the shop and was totally unprepared for that pesky 1/8″ recessed screw.  I initially thought it was an American padlock and didn’t realize it was a Brinks until cutting off all of the black tape.

Anyway, my new motto is: Never trust a locksmith when he says “don’t worry, it’s EASY!”  White’s Mobile Locksmith send this threaded nightmare to the LockLab and I was probably lucky to get it open.
