Lock Pick Practice Setup

Postby monkeE » 30 May 2004 13:10

Hey everyone, I had some free time on my hands, and decided to make a little practice picking board. I have a few Schlage C, an ABUS, some YALEs, a few ILCO types, and a bunch of unmarked. I rekeyed the left hand side to have a progressively greater amounts of pins (1 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 pins) to serve as a kind of "stepping ladder" for training. Here's a picture:

Hope you enjoy!

Oh, kudos to whomever can guess where I got the wood for the board...

Wood?

Nice lock board. I never made anything that big.

Looks like you used the seat from a dining room chair to me.

It's a nice, nice job.

It does look like a dining room chair (with a little handle screwed on to the top)

Looks like you hacked up the dining room table.

Wow, you guys are perceptive! :) I confess, it's a dining seat... Mohagany wood :). Nice, but not the best for drilling huge hoels in.

I'm getting 17 more locks from off of EBAY pretty soon... Maybe I will make the next setup on a toilet seat :)

Rig it up so you have to unlock them all before the seat opens?

:twisted:

Oh, that's nasty. Just plain nasty. I couldn't do that to an enemy.
Well, maybe it would depend on what sort of enemy. :twisted:

Ever do the old saran wrap on the toilet bowl trick? Makes a horrid mess.

Anyway, do you find your new lock board to be a good size, or is it too big, or what?

The size is great. I actually added a tripod leg system on the back so the seat "sits" almost upright on a table. Kind of a fun conversation piece. It leans back at about a 5 degree angle, but in general, works well. The two bottom locks on the seat are hard to torque, as they lay pretty close to a table top, but they are easy, and it adds a little bit of a dynamic problem to the picking :).
