American Combination Lock with Key Override

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

I disagree that profiling works, and can provide plenty of links to validate that view. I have seen, and personally felt the impact of mistaken profiling. It does not work, is pernicious, and is a danger to a free society.
It's a good day when I learn something new.

You appear to be operating under the delusion that this is a "free society."

You appear overly cynical. Now that we're done with that productive exchange, perhaps we can move on?

Cynical of what? :?:

This forum is owned (presumably) by Josh, not anyone else. It's moderated according to standards set by him and previous experience. Either the former or the latter (possibly both) allow profiling by IP address.

Next question, what are we moving on to? ;)

Lets all play nice now.

This site is not owned by Josh, (or DB).

I am wary of people asking about school locker combo locks with the common school key override- when their IP returns to a school. Yes, the person may legally own the lock- but if the whole school is keyed alike, I would prefer not to give them a direct handout on how to pick it.

I still gave useful (indirect) info on how to pick, and with a little bit of reading other topics of this site, I am sure the OP would figure out how to easily pick this lock.

Next discussion?

Agreed. Let's not turn my post into a discussion on ethics. Thanks for the comments, but I don't think there is anything else to say here.
