Practice tubular locks

Postby Shyfted » 17 Mar 2011 2:29

So I found a nice cheap resource for tubular locks to practice on. Ebay. Theres a whole bunch of really cheap laptop cable locks. Ive purchased 2 so far, one is a 7 pin and the other is a 5 pin. Id like to buy a few more but when i ask how many pins they have i get the email equivalent of a blank stare. Ill keep buying and hope I can get some with different amounts of pins.

lol. "How many little dots can you count in the circle?" might be a better way of asking :lol:

I initially asked how many grooves were in the keys but they said none

On that note, I figured I'd share that I discovered that keyswitches are dirt cheap.

The BiLock isn't the first bump proof pin tumbler because it isn't a pin tumbler.
And it's called a shear line, not a "sheerline".
