Technical Drawing

[beebo123]

Any locksmiths here ever get handed a technical drawing at a job and have trouble figuring out the projectional plane? Maybe the dimensioning was a little confusing? Any locksmiths out there on the entire planet ever have to read a technical drawing figure out if it was perpendicular or orthagonal and dimension it? Cos I am getting my ass kicked at technical college by technical drawing and i can't help but wonder how pertinant it really is to being a locksmith.

I've never been asked to interpret a technical drawing within the locksmithing world.

I can, but I've never needed to.

Closest thing is maybe a electrical schematic if you do a lot of access control or maybe some stuff in automotive.

Interpret this! HA!:

P.S.: I know it isn't perfect, so please stick to lock picking and don't bother nit picking.

That doesnt seem to hard to read at all, though dont get me wrong Im not a locksmith, and I know there are lots of more complex drawings...but the part in the original post about "figure out if it was perpendicular or orthagonal and dimension it?" is what I would have trouble with...

I know about tech. drawings from doing ALOT of CAD drawings for off-road frames, in case your wondering....Im not just talking out my rear.

I believe the part that's .085 deep could be specified a bit more?

Just figured out one of the mystakes that was subconciously bugging my, there's only the radius of the concave part around the keyway but no indication of the center and it's position relative to the plug. Anyways, moving away from my nit picking statement...
