EVVA A TRUE DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NKT]

if I can get in the keyway I know I have a good chance of defeating the lock.

Don't you believe it!

I can pick a normal Yale with one security pin, and sometimes with two (depends on pin arrangement), and cheap ERAs in 20 seconds. I even did my pretty high security Yale front door lock once (though that was mostly luck, I think!)

Obviously I don't know how good you are, but I've got two EVVA's, only five pins, but tricked out with a hard keyway, security pins, and a fairly taxing key. I've spent probably dozens of hours on it, and never set more than three, maybe four, pins. The keyway is just too tight and the lift on the pins too far.

One day, though, it will be mine!*

(* I own it, just like the dozens of other locks I "play" with! Play safe, kids! )

Does the keyway look anything like this??


If it does, I used a thinned down tension bar and two falle picks,
The 5/6 large curve and I used (for the first time) a progressive curve, cant remember which one though!
Medium tension and no apparent nasty surprises
The red line is the part of the keyway where I found best placement for the tension, could not get a falle double sided tension to fit into the key way.
Nice little project if you play with it! reversed for a euro
