FB lesson 11-15 changes and link

I am including the following link as not to reinvent the wheel.

viewtopic.php?t=12723&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=foley+belsaw&start=0

here is the links to the first 2 sets of lessons

viewtopic.php?t=20436&highlight=

viewtopic.php?t=20641&highlight=

OK now I have done lesson's 11-15 while at work and it only took me about 2 hours (with interruptions)

all quotes are from jimb off the link above.

Lesson 11 – Disc Tumbler Lock Construction And Picking
Objective: To learn the construction of the disc tumbler locks, how they work and how to pick them.
Supplies: 1 lock, 2 lock picks and 1 tension wrench.
Returned work: 1 open lock


Same except work card is sent back not the lock. Be careful when taking the lock apart not to lose the springs. I crawled around for a while searching for 2 of them. This lesson was fun. I was able to pick the lock with all of the tumblers installed in many different combinations. I am not sure that I wasn't getting lucky when I was filling the pins though because once I set 3 no matter the combo the lock would open. oh yea no keys are included with the lock.

Lesson 12 – Combination Locks
Objective: To learn the construction of the combination padlocks and how to open them when the combination is not known.
Supplies: 1 combination padlock
Returned work: Combination lock


Very very interesting lesson. You no longer send the lock back just a card. You will have to figure out the combo for this lesson but is very easy since the lock has been drilled for easy viewing.

Lesson 13 – Side Bar Wafer Lock Construction
Objective: To learn the construction of the side bar wafer lock and how it works.
Supplies: None.
Returned work: Exam.


Nothing has changed. I found it interesting they said these locks could not be picked without drilling a little hole first. I bet some peaple in here could prove them wrong.

Lesson 14- Car Opening And Lock Outs
Objective: To learn car-opening techniques, how to open cars without keys through the use of specialized tools.
Supplies: Detailed drawings of car opening procedures.
Returned work: Exam.


Same. I have a little experience here so it was kind of boring. I am sure some one with no experience would find it very interesting.

Lesson 15 – Automotive Lock And Cylinder Removal
Objective: To learn how automotive locks are contained in the car, how to remove, disassemble and reassemble them.
Supplies: Detailed drawings for typical installation.
Returned work: Exam.


All I can say is its the same.


Well all and all I liked these lessons. I guess I am half way done with the lessons but feel I have just scratched the surface of my training.
The search button wants to be your friend. It is getting really lonely. Would you be its friend?

I thought the car opening lessons are in seriuos need of updating. Wait till you get the last lessons and they show pictures of mobile locksmith operations, 1950's model trucks with toppers driven by old men wearing horn rimmed glasses. They also explain that mobile locksmiths are dispatched to jobs with a something called a radiophone.
