it has been less than 5 minutes since you told us you were going to do it...

that makes a maximum of 4 minutes you could have picked it in.

you're learning fast either way. :)

Spools can be in anything, and they are in padlocks more so than anything.


Mushroom pins are easier.

I prefer spool pins to be honest :)

it has a different way to trick you when you pick it - when you understand how it happens and learn how to overcome them they are easier.

Having said that Tricircle with their 3 spool pins are a nuisance somehow :lol:

Well im going to take credit for it all :wink:

He also got a yale cylinder that has 2 pins in it and the others in a bag, not sure why the sudden spool urge but its time to fully pin the decent yale and try that,

Leaving the back off the plug isnt really the thing to do.
