Two questions about "Key Chain Lock Pick PRO"

Not to mention the "cover" that holds the tension in place looks to be a piece of shrink wrap....

I wouldnt be suprised if more than just jimb had lost that piece and then the tension....

Other than that, if they do wobble seems kinda pointless when other jackknife sets seem to be better made, at least imho....

can someone recommend for roughly $30-$40 a good beginner's manual pick set (compact is a nice addition)
i saw the southord 14 bit set, but just wanted to know what everyone else though.

Hah...the old crap on a stick huh?

C'mon guys. I'm snobby myself when it comes to quality tools, guitars, etc.

I wanted something small that I can keep in the bottom of my pocket mixed with all the pennies and lint for any lockout emergency. NOT on my keychain!

As I stated in a previous reply, this little tool set is really amazing..(for what it is...) I brought some Schlage 5 pin cylinders with me to work today and could pick them about a dozen times with this tool.

Of course they will never come between me and my "quality" picks that I've collected over the years, but I like this little gizmo. That's my story and I'm picking to it!

get a set of bogotas with a pin that allows you to attach the picks to your shirt pocket, they're pretty small.

Picking a door chain lock???
Why bother? Shim it from the opposite end like a padlock shackle or trophy case lock.

Peice of advice though...
Put a peice of 2 by 4 to keep the door wedged open incase the tenant is home and tries to flying-kick the door closed while your wrists are between the door and frame.

I honestly do not know of a better portable set than safety-pin Bogotas. I carry mine clipped at the bottom of my pocket every day.

And why would the tenant do that?

I mean it's not like he'd be suprised that you are there right?.... unless of course you're doing it without his consent.. :roll:

Well, sometimes you may have the building owners consent, the caretaker escorting you throughout the building, but the tenant (having received a letter 24 hours in advance for demand for access) may still insist they have a right not to be on the master key system, and believe if you can't get in to change the lock, perhaps you'll simply go away and forget about it.

I was worried someone wasn't going to ask

by **illusion** » 13 Mar 2006 10:27

Ahhh... now this is a different circumstance.

If you are doing a warrant and somebody drop-kicks the door, then let it hit you and sue their arse!

The things is, you never actualy said you were talking about doing warrant work, just merely a methord to ensure you could open a person's door without risking injury... hence my......... concern.

just my 2p.

if your hands are in a heavy door, it could break both your hands...

I'd rather have my hands and sue for the attempt than have both my hands broken, unable to pick or work for however long just to get some extra money from renters(who might not even afford the settlement)

by **illusion** » 13 Mar 2006 18:53

Agreed - I was only half serious in saying that... if you are a locksmith and your hands are injured, it's like a football player breaking a leg - you could be rendered unable to work, and this is something which feeds your family and/or yourself.

Why would anyone even try to reach an arm through a door with a properly installed chain devise on it, its made to make that nearly impossible to do by hand, but a piece of coathanger wire bent in an L shape, well, it allows you to close the door to nearly shut, and just flip the chain back to to open end. So if you even could do it by hand, you can do it much more effeciently and quickly with the wire, and never put your arm through the door., only the skinny part of the wire goes through that crack.
