Lockwood 110/40

Difficulty Notes

Considered 'very tough for a beginner' and 'causing grief'. It is a big step up from Syneco and Master Lock. It is generally considered easier than the 120/40 due to a more open keyway, but harder than the Abus 55/40.

Picking Notes

SPP (Single Pin Picking) is mentioned as a challenge; raking is mentioned as easy for a different lock (PacSafe) but not explicitly confirmed for the 110/40 as a successful technique.

Sources (r/lockpicking):
- u/mrgisi (2pts): '...made SPP more of a challenge'
- u/MarkSwanb (1pts): 'Easy to rake the small keyway' (referring to PacSafe, not Lockwood)
[confidence: low]

Bitting Variance

The lock is classified as an 'Orange' belt lock (Australia). It typically features 4 spool pins, though some users note it may have at least one standard pin. The 110/40 has a more open keyway compared to the 120/40. It is widely available at Bunnings in Australia.
