Picking High-Low combinations on locks.

[qwerty125]

I've wondered.. is there any company thats made a lock (for educational purposes) with like plexi glass or some kind of plastic so that you can see ALL the parts of the lock and see what you're doing exactly when picking. I know they have locks that are cut so you can see just what I'm talking about.. but I mean a totally transpartent lock

well noone really mentioned this so I though I would put it out there.

A selection of 3 or 4 good High low rakes can come in handy if you have tried every thing else. While single pin picking is alway best for understanding the art, having a good set of emergency rakes can mean the difference between getting paid more than your service call or not(not to mention sav your pride), I know they have saved me in a few lock outs where single pin simply wouldnt pop it.

so like they said mabey you should give a crack at pick making, there are countless forums already on materials technique ect...

I think the Peterson reach is better than the Falle deep-curves

Isn't that like saying that a knife is better than a fork?

I prefer the fork over a knife or spoon anyday.

You call that a knife? Now thisis a knife.

If the reason that they don't make sure there is a high-low combination in a lock is that it would reduce the total number of possible bittings, are there any combinations that are avoided, like for example constant pin heights?

In that extreme case you could use a torsion tool like a key!

That, my friend, is a tear-shape handled extra large staple remover. Jeez....

You know, I actually have a couple Schlage mortises cut to all 1s (six pins), and they're harder to open than you'd think. You continually overset unless you know what's going on, and even if you do and just stick a wrench or something in there straight, it's WAY harder than is reasonable to actually lift them all the same height simultaneously.
