Came across a really cool tubular lock today.
At first I thought it was some model of Fichet, but it's a tubular lock with the bitting on the inside of the key.

@kwayk42 I didn't think it would be well-received to ask the company if I could pick their lock on camera...but I really wanted to.
Found the cores for $15, I think I need one in my collection.

@LockEx yeah. I have a couple tubular turning tools, and a few tubular picks, but given the style, I don't think the picks would workβbut picking it partway and then impressioning a key would probably be easiest.
@jacklund for the original tubular Kryptonite bike locks, you could heat a Bic pen over a lighter and then cram it over the pins and wiggle it until the lock opened. When the pen cooled, it became a (shoddy) multi-use key that could be used to open the lock for a while (until it got too chewed up).
@LockEx @alice @kwayk42 this is a Supra-C and yes it is a rather interesting axial type lock. Those aren't really pin tumblers so much as they are wafers that have gates in them.
It's not too different honestly from the very famous and very old Brahma lock. This model is popular nowadays on some rapid entry boxes made by the Supra corporation
