Jason: Those abus locks are not that easy. Try to get an easier lock to train and come back when you are up to it.

Like perhaps one of those plastic things that hold the bread bag closed?

:twisted:

Sorry, that was a little offside, but I just really really really had to say that...

Ah, that was almost as relaxing as an afterward smoke. I am glad you said it DB...... :lol:
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

No, those little plastic pieces are easy. I think they're the easiest.

Well, watch out for those twist ties. Now *they're* difficult!

No kidding! Every time you try to pick those twist ties, you don't know which way to turn! You turn it one way, and it gets tighter, so then you turn it the other way, and it still gets tighter! Maybe I'm only dealing with high-security twist ties that are acting this way. I'll try to find some cheaper Kwiktwist or EZTIE ones before I graduate to the Mul-T-Twist and TwinTwist ones.

Does anyone else have any picking suggestions for higher security twist ties? Thanks! :wink:
