My first pick was Saf-T-Lock, 5 pin peice of junk. my favorite lock. It makes everyone feel good on their bad picking days.

My first lock was an american lock 1205.

Aren't those comperable to Kwiksets ?

by **digital_blue** » 20 Oct 2005 20:10

Yeah, pretty much. I'd put a Weiser just a small step above a Kwikset, but that may just be my opinion.

Lol.

I remember not to long ago, I had spotted a locksmith shop while riding on the highway, and I said to myself, I am going to have to go and see what they have. So the next day, I go to the shop with my dad, he wanted to come so I said sure pa. When I got there, there was all kinds of deadbolts, padlocks and stuff. So my dad goes and looks at a Weiser Deadbolt and the locksmith says, the one your looking at, is top-quality. Inthat time, I didn't really know what the f*** Weiser was lol.. If he would of sais that at the present, I woulda said to the locksmith, aren't these as qualified as some Kwiksets ? I would of liked to see his face lolll..

Ahh, memories. 'Twas about 5-6 years ago. Me and my friend got a hold of an extremely thin, 'half back diamond' type key that was intended for a diary, you know the kind. We got to picking pad locks at school to lend (yes, lend, not steal) so called 'school cards' so that we could eat double lunches on the good lunch days.

Double pizza, double pancakes, double everything. Ofcourse we returned the cards later, we even overheard one of the 'victims' ", how could this happen?? The locker is locked!", bwahahaha! In the end it became a sorts of school legend, about the missing school cards that mysteriously popped back into their locked lockers, and that's when we stopped.

Now that I think about it, it was even further back in time than so. I must've been 15, maybe 16... altough I moved when I was 16, oh well. It was basically a prank that didn't go on for that long a period of time. Just some good harmless fun, altough I wish I'd known about padlock shims back then, would've made it a whole lot less riskyer.
