How did you make the cut-a-way? I know Kwikset uses inexpensive materials, but did you really just saw it open, etc?

dremel 400xpr. cut off wheel. A glass of water.

I took apart the lock took out the cylinder pins and springs and spring cover, then just cut a line down on the side of each pin chamber, I only did it so you can see the driver pins or the top pins. To see the bottom pins I would have to cut off the screw holder and that would take like forever and like 200 cut off wheels. and then I would have to cut through the thick inner cylinder. Ah, I couldn't be bothered. But is great for learning how to pick with spool pins!

Hey, after much practising whith everyones great input and tech's I have finally been able to pick a 6pin cylinder with my BPG-10.

I finally have the feel for it now and the lock is extremely easy to pick with my gun!

Cant wait to use it some more!

Thanks all!

I think it's a very useful little item also....I may just give it a go. It's not like I have to see the bottom ones also..... darn good idea.

ya. it get a fiber glass reenforced cut off wheel though. the other ones like get grinded down to nothing in like 3 seconds. But the FBR wheels are big and so I cut a little into the screw holder thingy. not beautiful, but works. I may take some pics foryou if you want.

O MY GOODNESS. I keep making photos way to big. I am so stupid! I keep forgetting. I am like one of the nerdiest computer oriented guy I know, and I Know how to. I thought photobucket made them smaller for you. Crap.

I am going for thumbnails from now on. Here you go

and mods if you could delete the big pics and put these ones in. Thanks.

whine apparently

by **n00bking** » 4 Jun 2007 10:18

yes i am very good at whining and arguing. i know that.

Good stuff! Thanks for hasseling the pics.
This is not only do-able, but from my perspective - well done......that "non-magnetic metal" is easy to saw through but what's nice is that the illustrations are self-explaining. Useful item!

Ya I was really happy when I finished. Took like idk, an hour and was super easy. Still I am not done, but it works great for what it is.

And lets compare. Professional cutaway lock...30+ maybe...probably more

mine, 13 bucks and labor...
