Pretty neat idea. I've been thinking about making my own comb picks instead of buying. Wanna try them out, but not sure it's worth spending money on just to try it out.


Definitely worth making a 4 pin and 5 pin comb pick. I've gotten the 5 pin to work on schlage and kwickset just a few times but about 20% 4 pin masters it's worked on and almost every cheap knockoff lock. Plus it's a great tool to pop open a 140 master lock quick. I made mine with old pick handles and heat shrank them together. Used old lock cores a sharpie and a Dremel to make the right cuts
