What did you pick today?

[fgarci03]

I might get lucky and just... OOOOOH! BUMP me! A'right

...

BUYA!
Holy BUMP!

Yeah, I know what you mean ahaha


Tell me one thing. How is that pick called? And lever locks does it open?

I was typing up a reply, it ended up getting really long, and has now turned into a full-blown project. Thanks for that... I think.

You can see the thread here. And I'll be replying to your PM shortly.

Hey Solomon alias DrBlint,

great video, no need to see more pictures.

I was a bit worried about you swearing, but then found out you just use the F word a lot Thanks to your accent and language I'm sure I've seen some of your videos in the past.

Good stuff mate, glad you liked. You've seen videos of mine before? Glad to see you've made a full recovery since.

Non capisco, come si dice "Sláinte" in italiano?

[femurat]

Salute!

I purchased a Master M141 with a ton of letters and numbers following. It took approximately 30 minutes of exploring, then maybe 2 minutes the second time around.

[Muskedunder]

A master, abus 65/50 and 85/40 and a lince lock i got today. Very happy. I am making progress. Anyone know what master lock it is?

Getting familiar with my DIY bogota, first 7 pin lock I have opened fully pinned



Key pins have slight bevel on them, might have helped a bit...

[fgarci03]

American Padlocks


First one, regular pins, with only a bump stop driver
Second, regular pins, with one serrated driver (to make my first approach to serrated pins)
Third, 3 serrated drivers, 2 spools and serrated pins

Fun fact: if you notice, the first one isn't picked. It's actually the only one I haven't managed to pop open

[fgarci03]

2 spools and serrated pins

"2 spoorated drivers and serrated key pins". Sorry the mistake!

Here's the configuration. Key pins size 1,2 and 3 don't have serrations because they are too small.

[zeepia]

Well done fgarci03!

Those pins seem to alter according to pin´s lenghts, here´s mine:

[fgarci03]

Thanks for sharing that!

One thing:
The serrated drivers (not the spoorated), aren't they upside down? I mean, if you notice there are no serrations on their bottom, but there are on the top. It makes sense that the un-serrated part should be on top, thus pressing the spring, or it would affect a bit the hole purpose of the serration.

Or am I missing something?

[zeepia]

No, you aren´t missing anything. They are indeed upside down. Took them all at my hands and didn´t think it more when composed that photo.

[fgarci03]

Ah! I was begining to think I was an idiot



Ok, maybe I am. But at least not completely!

[fgarci03]

Today I went through my lock collection. It's small but it already gives me plenty of challenge. What I managed to pick was this:



From left to right:
American Padlocks - regular pinned with 1 bump stop pin (ironically the hardest of the 3), regular pinned with 1 serrated driver, and the last with 3 serrated drivers, 2 spoorated and serrated key pins:


Guard Padlock (actualy left the naughty box today. Only 4 pins but without any reliable feedback), Sady padlock (easy), AVA wafer lock, cheap wafer lock:


Dimples - 6 regular pins MF, 10 regular pins GLK, 6 spooled Mul-T-Lock Garrison 7x7


5 pin regular pin tumblers - Jeff (easy), Vito (hi-lo configuration, also came out of the naughty box), Gotta (the key looks double bitted but it's an image deformation).


The picks I used:





In addition, I picked my small safe lock wich is a regular tubular lock, but didn't take a picture.


Now gotta work on the still-way-to-difficult-to-me locks
