Falle Safe Picks

Postby Medic » 4 Aug 2004 10:05

Does anybody have any idea on where I can buy picks made by Falle Safe. Also, I saw a picture in a manual of a Falle Safe Tension Wrench that looks like a long thin oval of spring steel with a notch cut in each end. How does this work? It is drastically different then any tension/torque tool I have now.
Help is on the way

Not only are they very expensive, but you also have to be a registered locksmith to buy them.

neither safe ventures nor mba usa will sell to a non locksmith. The picks are greatly overrated and overpriced. I know this first hand as I own the falle safe standard and deep curve hooks. My lab picks can do everything the falle safe picks can. On the upside the falle safe picks are bigger and fit in my fat hands slightly better than the lab's but overall are not worth the extra money in my opinion. The tension tools on the other hand seem to be great on locks they can be utilized on.

As far as you intitial question goes they cannot be purchased anywhere except safe ventures or mba usa as mentioned previously.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
