Canadian lever lock

make another pick to put tension on the bolt thrower.

one wire goes in and puts tension on the bolt. then with a second wire you then lift the levers as they bind. after its finished binding it should go lose and have a couple of mm play in it, then that lever is set. some times you will life a lever once and it will bind sometimes it will go a little bit and another lever will start to bind.

Although ive only picked a couple of lever locks a few times so im no expert on them.

Yeah all internal doors over here are fitted with an identical type of two lever lock ( the keys of which go missing quickly, and are never to be seen again!). It's only external doors that have a higher security mortice lock.

If that's the only type of mortice lock you can get in Canada, and they are cheap, you could cut small notches into the levers and a small groove into the stump. Result: A cheapo DIY security mortice lock, that will be a little harder to open :-)

Get a few and mix about the levers their maybe the possibility to add a lever and make it a three lever lock. They are fun locks to play with...

Enjoy :-)

You might find this a little hard to pick for a first lever lock 3 lever locks are easier to pick than 2 lever as the bolt tallon is quite thin and the pick tends to slip off ,where as a 3 lever bolt talon is thick in some cases 3 times the thickness as one lever therefore the pick used as a bolt thrower stays in the space ,Maybe its just me but thats what i found when i started out .

I still find centre thrown locks a pain if they are badly worn as the throwing part simply is too rounded and a wire wont stay on it,

I solved it by grinding a v in the end of the wires and they grip very well :wink:

No !! I'm looking for piano wire because the 2in1 that i'm making is to big for that lock.

and now you'll have to make a curtain pick for the chubb!

its pretty easy if you look at the stickies in the Eu Locks, Picks & Hardware section.

Choosing a 114 as a starter lock for learning lever picking is like going out and grabbing a 6 pin GEGE or Schlage to start learning cylinder picking, rather than an old kwikset or cheap Chinese padlock.

Stick with the 3 lever locks until you are sure you know what you are doing, then get one of the easier curtain locks, like the old Legge, or a 5 lever non-curtained lock. Then get yourself something like a Union or Legge BS. Once you can open those, *then* set your sights on a 114. After that, you can take another step up and try the 110.

To start on a 114 is, in my opinion, lethal to your chances of success.
