lever lock play

Postby alfabravo » 7 Nov 2010 12:55

hi guys. i've done some research and found nothing. i know woh to use google searching capabilities but unfortunatelly...

there are tools for cisa/atra/mottura loks, 3in1 picks, 2in1 picks... what if lever lock has post? i made 2in1 but didn't have any positive results. tools for locks mentioned before cannot be applied. self impressioning also is lost in this case or have you ever seen self impressioning tool for posted lever lock? i haven't and was looking really hard for it. at least some ideas, gossips about it?

what about setup keys? i thing it can be done for posted lever lock and have some ideas and have seen some handcrafted tools for this purpose. it requires fine machinery park, skill, and precision. maybe i'll go in this diresction. but to make a setup key we must first decode it right? there are so many locks that making decoders for all of them is almost impossible. i've never had in my hands any lever lock decoder. could you give me some insight in the subjest? what to look for, what to pay attention? how to start decoding lock? i have some basics, know the theory but practise shows otherwise.

i've also tried impressioning but must have done something wrong... i had all the time markings on blank and filed down half of the wing so i bet it wasn't right. what about plasticine?

hoping for nice discussion
