Best Control Shear

Postby john5 » 30 Jul 2013 19:19

Hey Ya'll!

I'm picking a Best A keyway 6-pin lock. I got it picked to the operating shear, but I still can not get it picked to the control shear. Any tips that you guys would be willing to share on how to get it picked to control?

Thanks!

Use a modified tension wrench.

Those wrenches ARE available from the wholesalers (and retailers)!

The illustration in the reply posted by cledry was from a very old edition of the locksmith ledger from the early 80's BEFORE those SFIC wrenches were widely available...
