Which Curtain Pick Do You Recommend

Postby Airborne » 22 Aug 2006 14:02

I have a Safe Ventures and a Rimmer Brothers curtain pick. I find the Safe Ventures the better pick out of the two of them. i think this is because i can feel whats happening with the levers better with it. Does anyone use any different picks? Is there one you can recommend that will improve my picking skill, especially on the BS locks?

Please fill in your details then use the search button cos this topic has been talked about many times in most of the forums.

A brief synopsis, you'll find that you will get a dozen views on this topic but overall you can't beat the Chris Belcher CP if you can afford them.
They are the only CP that can deal with lowest levers, especially those in the Union and Chubb range and they under constant development with additional wires that can cope with Legge, Securefast and ERA Fortress.

The other CPs you mention have their pros and cons and will depend on your personal taste' feel and pocket.

I cant say much more than that really, i use the cb picks myself,

They will take a bit more practise than the others but will pretty much open most locks out there,

CB picks get my vote too by a distance.
