Henderson 5 LEVER

[pinky]

ACL
just had a 101 member send me over a brand new henderson bs lock, so had a chance to play, it picks in about a minute to 2 mins every time, so far ive just used the chris belcher pick which is working for me alot these days.

als post was really helpfull, when the bolt moves , dont despair and reset, just go through pack making gentle adjustments, the sucker falls open.

its a very easy lock to pick, just need to sit and play with it.

Does this lock have any anti pick notches or are the levers plain ? Goodlucjk with the 110 p&c, tricky one to master from what sid says.

it has anti picks, just not the usual feel from a standard lever pack set up, but very quick and easy to pick, now ive had a chance to play with one on the bench, its a doddle 1 to 2 min opening , thanks to seagull and al for lock and tips.
another lock not to fear, all curtain picks open it with ease.

Sorry to resurrect a long lost and forgotten post from last Christmas (I get there in the end) but I came across one of these this morning for the first time. Like Andy, I didn't know what it was. Picked it open easy enough with the trusty CB. The anti picks are square and were quite easy to jump out of, like the Legge.

Was on a warrant and spent an age trying to lock the bugger again. The door was the tightest fit I've ever seen (outward opening and you had to give it a right boot to close it), but on opening the lock up and seeing Legge levers I tried setting up a key from the Legge p&c but it wouldn't have it and came across the problems Al pointed out reference the bolt thrower and spring having to be perfectly placed back to work properly, and the highest cut on a Legge wouldn't quite fit in the keyway so a good blank should stop mistakes being made on an ID.

I too thought 'what on earth is that fixed lever pack and plastic stump all about'. I take it although this lock hasn't got a kitemark on it's faceplate that it is still BS and it would appear to fit the criteria, unless it doesn't have enough levers for 1000 differs as mine only ranged from 1 to 5?
