last year, after 'picking up' the lockpick subject and going on a two weak internet research, i picked my first locks.
I had six of them from my work and gave them all a try with a selfmade pick and wrench.
3 of them were picked the first weeks, the other 3 did not go altough they seemed very easy. Perhaps my pick wasn't good for them, perhaps they had some spools or mushpins or i just wasn't skilled enough.
After that i gave lockpicking a rest untill last week.
Last week i was looking for a new lock for a door and in the shop i had the choice from about 100 locks. What i saw there changed my view on lockpicking. From the 100locks 90 of them had a combination of vertical and sidepins and an extremely narrow and very densed Z shaped keypad. All of them traded between 50€ and 80€ (the most expensive ones had some security pins in it)
I went home and went on another information rush about the subject and i'm beginning to fear that lockpicking is more about the other 10locks that don't have such a combo, as matter of facts there seems very little written about locks where the pins are almost impossible to get to while these types off locks are all over the globe.
Look at
www.toool.nl, they hold championships but the locks they pick dont look impressive at all except 1 or 2.
Am i wrong here? are there ever locks picked with side and upperpins and very narrow and z shapped pins?
One more question for now: can anybody give me acces to the high security locks section?? a lock is all about security, for me its very logical to go all the way when learning all about it.
Its like learning another language without the most important words!
keep up the good work 101, this place is nice to dig in
