escaped criminal

j/k

i actually carry some homemade handcuff shims...

i dont really know y... the terrorists dont use handcuffs i dont think...
but just in case they wont keep me long lol

i made 2 so when you put em together they protect eachother and dont get bent too much in your pocket...

they still get bent a little but they wont kink up when they are together

or you could just use a bobby pin. smaller and works just as well.

ya but ive met many a coop thatll take away bobby pins on initial inspection... ive not met 1 yet thall take awat a chunk of metal rubber and electrical tape... they just think its junk

plus if the pawl is too far up in the shaft of the handcuff the bobbypin might not reach unless uncoiled all the way and thats kinda hard(not impossible) to do behind ur back... and if u keep it uncoiled you could get stabbed.... and if you cut the tip it wont work as well at all...

any way were gettng off topic:

i picked 2 american 5200s, faild agin at the american ams100
and i found a new way to pick warded locks

Those would be really handy for Gringo Warrior, in case you ever get to play. They are doing it again at Defcon, I think, if you are going out there this year.

Picked a Master Lock 930... before my first coffee. Interestingly, it's the first time I pick that lock with the tension wrench in the bottom of the keyway. Usually I had to top tension it to have room to move in there. Wrench was the same size too.

[on topic] Picked an antique simmons 2 lever padlock[/on topic]

i dont normally try to get away from police . A bobby pin can be held in your hair or under a collar. I have never shimmed a double locked handcuff before

Mul-T-Lock Classic

I got a hold of some moderately challenging locks today. Both with nasty broaching to prevent most picking attempts. One is a Kaba Peaks, and the others are all Medeco Keymark cylinders.





I wasn't able to use my favorite hook pick in either of these locks. But I found tools I have for other locks/uses to work great. I used a miniature half diamond on the Kaba Peaks. And I used a "wafer free'er tool" I guess I will call it that since that is what I usually use it for. All I did was add a few marks for spacing, normally I wouldn't need that but it certainly helped on the Keymarks. It ended up being a perfect pick for these, since it doesn't matter how radical the cylinders are keyed.

Picked Russwin Emhart today.

Lock is a LFIC, uses 4 of the standard emhart interlocking pins, each interlocking pin is has an interlocking master pin which locks interlocks between the bottom and driver pins, this is how it came from eBay!

The control lug uses regular pins with regular master pins as found in your regular IC.

Pretty challenging lock!

Was just reading this site, as I was considering the Foley Belsaw class. One of the classes included is emhart interlocking pin construction, but not a picking class, so I found this page: http://agentddr999.googlepages.com/corbinemhart

Says cant be picked has never been picked, and looks crazy! How do you get the pins to rotate?

Anyway, congratz. Opened my first deadbolt kwikset with all 5 pins in today.

im tryin to get this "true value" generic padlock picked, but it has spool pins or something, and i can NOT get it, lol so i just go pick some shlages or kwicksets i have lying around

These are my latest high security victories. All from earlier today!
They are displayed from easiest to hardest (left to right). The Medeco M3 took roughly 5 minutes. the Schlage Primus took roughly 10-15 minutes. The Medeco Biaxial fought with me and took about 20-25 minutes. I didn't know how those ones where keyed. But full disclosure on the Assa V-10, I was looking at the keys while picking on it. And it took roughly 20 minutes.

I was ecstatic, until a co-worker handed me a General knob on an sc1 keyway. I couldn't pick it , there wasn't even anything special about it.

I'm happy though, I got a lot of practice in today.

Rotate the pins in the same fashion as a medeco

The Emhart's i have are all masterkeyed and only four of the six pins are of the interlocking type, a standard Emhart with no masterkeying would be a lot more difficult.

Today I picked a DOM ix 10 and got the time down enough to make a video of me picking and gutting it so here's a link to that [urlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDrXhgq8FUA[/url]
