I am working on 4 locks I am testing for a time challenge for the Columbus L.I branch. I have them down under a minute if I use a C rake and a short hook. I'd better find a harder lock to add to this ...

I wanted to get better on master #3's so I went Walmart and got me a new Master #3 and and a cheap China made lock that uses a M1 key. I didn't look at the keys and try to pick something that might look easy, just picked the first ones I saw. Picked the Master probably a dozen times now, but haven't picked the cheap lock yet. The cheap lock only turns in one direction. I'll get it sooner or later.

I been working at picking pad locks of all kinds. Sometimes the cheap ones are a lot harder than the so called good ones.

Still haven't picked my American 1105, even with one pin missing (because I sheared off a spring when repinning, oops...). Hoping to get it someday, but it's frustrating me to no end for now. I opened a bunch of lesser padlocks today to make up for it :P
