did i get lucky?

Did a job on an interior door for my local Barclays today - lockout on office door. The door had an EVVA thumbturn euro fitted. I was expecting a tough job of it so went for snake pick first to see what feedback it offered. A couple of quick rakes, and then a bit of jiggling and it popped. 15 secs max!

Are EVVAs susceptible to raking more than any other technique? - or did I get lucky this time?

Sounds like you got an easy combo, hence you were lucky!

Nice work though, picking an EVVA in front of a customer who knows EVVA to be the high security brand!

Gets your lockie rep up!

I have found in my limited experiance with the Evva's that they do seem to pop easily with a snake for some reason, especially if its used upside down,

Good call though

Unfortunately the Manager had left me to it, so was unable to show off - except to some rather attractive blonde piece with legs up to her armpits. She at least gave me a little cheer! :wink:

Luck is when skill meets oportunity.

Any hole's a goal.

By hole I mean security loop-hole... If a snake rake works, then use it! :wink:
