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

Ever since I subscribed to this forum, and read everything I could about locks and lock picking, EVERY lock seems to be an opportunity. At work today I noticed how many locks are in thestore, and how much I would love to pick them(of course I would never try because the boss would kill me). Weird post I know, but you guys/girls ever get that feeling?

I haven't walked past a lock since I started picking that I havent maken a mental note of brand, style, and whether or not I think I have enough skill to pick it.

same here. They have this lock on the safe which Im dying to figure out what it is. The key has straight vertical and horizontal cuts, well if i can take it on my camara phone ill post it here. When I look down it I can't see anything; no wafers and no pins.

Getting changed in the locker rooms with over 50+ padlocks on the surrounding lockers is a true test of restraint.

Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

I pheared the day that I saw two medecos mounted on an empty, not used container (out of date money holder) in a parking lot in between pioneer square and the ferry in seattle. One of them was loose, it would take, like, 15 seconds to take off of the thing without damaging anything (giant cylinder of doom surrounding the core. ph33r)
But stealing is bad, and I couldn't hope to pick that for a few years.
But yes, I do take note of locks, and do the skill judge, and I'm tempted... oohhh so tempted.

Sounds like a lever lock, Torch.

Here's a satellite photo of its exact location.

The lock itself looked like the lock in the blurry as all get out pictures that stick posted of the locks he found.

Thanks! But this begs the question where did you get those Sat maps?

Aye, tis google.
I have google earth, but I didn't want to run it at the time, so I went:
http://maps.google.com
But yeah, that's pretty much the EXACT location. You'll see the parking thing where you insert your cash, then you'll see a sticker somewhere that says that it's electronically monitored, then you'll see two medecos on a white box that has the word pay somewhere on it, but apparently serves no purpose what so ever.
