clear biaxial practice locks?

Hello all,

Does anyone know if clear biaxial practice locks even exist?
If all fails, use nitroglycerine.

Very doubtful, i think you would rather be looking at a cutaway to be honest,

yeah, usually clear locks are either generic or widely used locks that are low security. they are really just to learn the basics. so as shrub said, a cutaway is what you should look for.


best of luck

I bet it'd be worth a whole lot of cash if you did have one.

Han Fey showed an example of a Zeiss Ikon clear plastic euro cylinder in his article regarding cut-away locks... They exist, but I'm willing to bet you have to pull strings to get one. :wink:

A cut away is far more realistic on terms of aquiring a practice aid... John Falle, Barry Wells, and Han Fey may be able to get hold of these locks, but I imagine they know some people who who some people...

I hate it when people who who other people. it makes me sad :(

I think N2oah or someone has cut-aways from time to time, the last one was a really nice Medeco cut-away that sold for $70.

it's in the "something interesting on eBay" thread or something.

That should have been "They know soe people, who know some people..."

I don't know why it came out that way, could have sworn it looked OK when I previewed it. :roll: :P

on a biaxial cutaway can you even see the rotation of the pins though?

i've never heard of a clear one, unfortunately.
