The picks are each designed for a specific lock on a specific type of safe ill be making some for other safes
with the same locks.

The first and third picks there have a brass collar under the al knob this is held in place by friction
and is adjustable they have markings on them to indicate cut depths for decoding.
You attach a magnetic pointer to the door and adjust the collar to its start position after applying torque.
These picks are all for pipe keys that is they are all hollow at their tip and all have a bolt thrower which isnt
shown to well in the pics.
There are more but the world isnt big enough to show them all :lol:
Next ill be building some pin and cam picks but dont expect to see them up here

Safe and vault engineer for aprox 17 years full time and about 3 years part time before that.
Most of my experience is with lever locks for safes.

No I dont design safes but we do design and build stuff to customers specs but that is not something
thats up for discussion here.
Any proper safes for large amounts of cash etc. would have to be rated and tested accordingly by
the likes of UL for example, the costs would be to high and there are already many large manufacturers
out there who can afford to pay for this or are producing a rated safe model for some years.
