info on medeco please...

[totsie]

I work gate security for an intermodal trucking company and we have one or more employes that can pick locks.I have taken up lock picking to help prevent our locks from beaing picked.I never knew how much fun it was and im hooked.Can medeco locks be picked by novice or more advanced lockpickers?

[WhiteHat]

short answer: the cannot be picked by novices.

long(ish) answer: theoretically if you know how a mechanical lock works you can pick it, you just need a working brain, patience, more patience, lots of patience and a whole bunch of patience combined with the exact same amount of practice.

Medecos are nothing special until you get to the rotating pin ones and then read as above

nice to hear ur hooked on it. medeco (as said) are a bit over your ability atm.

IF you let us know what you have picked so far im sure we can recommend a nice challenge for you.

thanks to everyone for reading my post and not making me feel like a dumb *** for beaing new.I have picked a few things with the home made picks that I made from kitchen knives(which i enjoyed very much).I have picked all sizes of master locks(which is the easiest to pick),a few different deadbolts by tell,ace and kwikset,file cabinets,master combination lock with the numbers on the bottom,my truck doors(98 dodge ram),my van doors (84 ford econoline).The deadbolts and master locks I picked at work for the owner of my company and he was impressed and surprised how easy pin timbler locks are opened without a key.

I don't care who you are, thats funny.

[unjust]

welcome.

if you can pick up an american padlock. they're my new nemesis, trying to figure otu spool pins. great fun. oodles of profanity.

[Chucklz]

Unjust

Its more than just spool pins. There are serrated bottom pins, and serrated spools as well. You can "cheat" a bit by spraying in a good helping of WD40 or some 3 in 1 oil, for whatever reason this helps get past the serrated pins. And if you do either, dont forget to flush that stuff out and put in a proper lubricant

medeco's are great fun, well worth the buy on ebay for a learning expeirnce.

I have a short vid on youtube check it out its not much but you will get the idea.


However, I am glad you took no offence, as asking as always better than assisting, I wish you best of luck and continure to post hear you will learn a who heep.

Best of luck mate

I still want to try one of the M3's they have out now... yet my pockets donot permit it

[MaximumCheese]

Also, for an additional fun challenge, try picking an American that's clogged with dirt! I fought valiantly with one of these, and couldn't do it without first soaking the whole thing in acetone then giving it a liberal helping of WD40.

[Jolly Rodgers]

i need clean up my american. the thing has a hard enough time opening with the key

[totsie]

by american master locks are you all refering to the regular old store bought master locks with the blue stripe around the bottom that says master on it?
