What lock next?

Postby tokf » 19 Jul 2008 5:21

Hi all

Managed to regularily pick my masterlock no.3 and no.130 with the one spool (possibly more by luck than judgment).

Could anyone recomend what would be the next thing to tackle from here?

Many thanks
Rob

Then come security pins, followed by mid-level stuff like sargents and the schlage everest.

Are the Kwiksets you're refering to the door lock ones or do they make padlock and other types as well? (as far as the repinning goes i reckon)

yea the door locks. the deadbolt ones are best for repinning, except you don't actually need to buy the deadbolt part.

yes its a deadbolt. i recommend (which was recommended to me) that you buy the double deadbolt for a few dollars more and then you have 2 locks to mess with ;)

Yes, Kwikset is a US product. You should include UK in your location for better identification ;)

I'm sure some UK members here can help you with the choice of brand and model for an easy beginner lock.
