OK ill work something up later when i have a chance. but instead of pasting over people times just add your lock and time to the list at the bottom of the row of locks. I don't want to turn this in to a competition. its justa bit of fun and a way to get a comparison of realistic times people can open locks in not just there best times.

If the thread keeps on going like the picked never picked list i'll do a fresh empty list every 2 weeks and display the times neatly somewhere.

All the best

It would be nice if for each lock, people listed SPP times in addition to any other method of their choosing. In some ways, the time discrepancy between SPP and raking or other methods is more interesting to me than the times themselves. But if that's impracticable or people don't want to do it, it's still pretty cool. Thanks for making this thread, John!

I was only really interested in SPP times as thats what i think people should concentrate on at first (I know its what im still learning).

But people are free to post what ever method they like. I posted some Bogotá times.

And im happy 2 :P

all the best

ok heres what ill do. if People start posting times for locks in the format i asked. in one week i will put the time in and catalog them all once a week and we can try and get average times for more common locks.

How does that sound to everyone?

Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.

None of this "once you've got your tension tool sorted" nonsense for me.
Code: Select all
Legge Black          - warrant - 14 minutes
ERA 3 lever           - warrant - 10 minutes
ERA 5 pin rim cyl.  - warrant - 2 minutes
Some disgusingly nasty keywayed euro - warrant - 3 minutes

I did a big post with a load of times, but then my PC BSoD'd after I'd spent an entire night picking euros for times for this thread! :-(
