Whats your easiest lock?

[KBsecurities]

I would have to agree with the Master 22 I as well picked it with a paper clip, but any warden lock is rediculously easy and is not much of a task.

Master lock No. 3. I have one that feels like you only set the back 2 pins and it opens.

muggings here didn't know that WD40 was bad for locks when he first started and so now mine are all gummed up and little sods to pick. they take as long as some of my euros now, absolutely no feeling of whats going on inside.

Jack is onto something, WD40 as a highsecurity additive for kwickset.

The first lock I picked was a small ACE lock. It was super easy. You just hit the back pin and the shackle snaps up.

Whoa, that's a hard one

Once they get below the 5 seconds to pick mark, it's hard to time them accurately

I'd have to say my american padlock on my tool box at work that has no pins in it. illusion is a powerful thing

U pick locks... you must have a half decent collection of padlocks and the one you chose for your tools is the one with no pins? at least put A pin in it so its not a latch!

Howdy!

Since this is my first post on the forum I'd like to say hi to all of you
I'm new to The Noble Art of Lock Picking and I'm looking forward learning alot from you guys.

I've only picked one lock so far and it's an ABUS 85/40. It took me 5h to pick it the first time, hehe. That time is now reduced to about 11s.
Now I know why you guys do this. I got goosebumps all over me the first time I picked it

I must go and buy a new lock...

Granpa that is great to hear... keep on picking

Cheers

easiest lock i have in my collection right now is a brinks R70.

i find it easier to pick then my masterlock #3 most of the time.

[cjames73]

my easiest is a 90mm sterling disc lock.
lightly jiggle a half diamond to the back of the keyway and its open!

[xnoobandrew]

One of these locks, with a keyhole.

I can do it with a snake rake is less then 15 secs ( of course plus a tension wrench ).

[Bumpk3y]

a small master lock (not sure what model). all i did was bend down all the prongs on a fork except one. i stuck it all the way in, flicked my wrist, and the lock opened

[xnoobandrew]

maybe some picks? Well everyone has their own methods..

My easiest has to be the far-eastern twelve-pin cylinder I got off of ebay and is described here:

viewtopic.php?t=17739

It has three sets of 4 pins spaced 120 degrees apart from each other. The keyway is completley circular, and at least 6mm in diameter.

Tensioning from the back (if fitted to a door you'd have to knock up some form of tension tool) each pin can be seen and manipulated easily, you can very easily feel the pins set, and there are no security pins.

I can pick it in under a minute. To fully turn, you have to pick it three times, but you are still looking at around 2 minutes to get it fully turned. A plug spinner would mean you only had to pick it once.
