Beginner's practice lock

Postby ElGatoNegro » 19 Aug 2014 23:39

Hello. Im new to the forum. This question may have been asked in another post. But I have searched and can not find any good info.

So as a beginner. Is there any recommendations for a lock cylinder. That allows easy access to changing and removing pins?

So i can start with one pin to practice. Then as I learn to identify the feel of the binding pin. Be able to add a second and so forth.

Thanks.

Ah, yes! I did read that thread earlier. Just being new to the forum. I don't know about how to order one from Mr.Wizard.

Send him a PM and he will get you the details. That's how I did it a long time ago and I still mess with mine now and then when I want to try something out. It is a great piece of equipment that I expect to last for my life at least! :D

Like phrygianradar said, send him a PM. To do that, hit the 'search' tab above and type "MrWizard" in the 'author' field and you'll come up with his posts. Click on his name and then click on 'send private message'.

Or follow this link: ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=116654
