BKS LOCK

[murgle]

UPDATE:

I can open the lock now with looking into it fairly easy (2-3 seconds) so now im gonna tape up the side, and start doing everything blind.. lol if i leave it untaped open, i catch myself peeping into the sides when i get lost doing the lock.. lol.. your mind gives you no choice.

but yea thanks for the tips guys.. and yea, as my initial question goes.. like somebody else said, pins just seem that they are binding, they are down, (or up w/e) but they have not truly binded, and therefore the bind isnt transferred to the next pin.. so its just pushed down but not binding. and the tolerances seem pretty low in this lock..

so anybody have any tips for more succes now that im training blind? i already got a good one, im gonna mark out on the pick where the pins aren inside the lock, this way i can line up more easily..

any more tips?

Hey, congratulations on your progress! It sounds like things are coming together for you!

im gonna mark out on the pick where the pins aren inside the lock, this way i can line up more easily..

Just one note, to save you some frustration in the future: you may have already thought of this, but the marks that you make for pin spacing on this lock won't work for other makes/models of locks (there are many different standards for pin spacing). Putting some marks on your pick sounds like a nice way of helping to reinforce the feedback that you're feeling from the lock -- but don't rely on looking at the markings too much, or you'll start to develop some bad habits that will leave you frustrated when you move on to a different lock.

hi, guys.

i have another question. i have repinned my lock, to include a spool pin )in the top part) and a high low set up on top. now my problem is i didnt get the whole thing back together when putting it all back together again, the coupling fell out of the cylinder, but that side was already put into locked position.

so now to take it out, i have to pick the cylinder that was already locked, but this is out of my reach, so i need help:


the situation:

it is a high low set up, the first pin is high , second low, third high, fourth low, fith high.

ok the problem is this:
the first pin to bind is the third, after this the fourth, but the third pin is so high, that when i barely touch it, its already set, anything more makes it overset, and the one after it is low, so its being impossible to pick, and i havent even gotten to the spool yet..

any tips, guides etc. on how to pick high low, or work with oversetting pins?

a long reach hook should do it providing the keyway warding is fairly tame.

shimming would work also but i bet thats advanced

hang on its a cutaway?

and you cant open it using your picks to manipulate through the extra holes

hey loll. wait a second trying now.. lol..
