Whats your favorite lock?

[Jaakko]

Probably the American 2000 (puck) or one of my 5570s that I've repinned to 6 pins. I love the serrated, plain and spoorated mix. I can usually open them in about 5-10 minutes now but are still a new challenge almost every time I change up the pins.

On topic, my favorite lock is a nameless 6 pin padlock. That is the one I will pick when I'm frustrated from something else The second favorite is my combination padlock, pretty much like Dudley (can't be shimmed) and I haven't found a way to manipulate it, but it feels so relaxing to just turn the dial, feel the wheels picking up and opening and closing the lock The same goes for my Abloy cutaways

I think the Kaba president A has great appeal. Perhaps not my favourite, but its probably the best looking lock i own atm. Its all about the looks you know

I would like to know what everones favorite lock to pick is? Right now, mine is a Master #140. I like this lock because I can feel what is going on in side and it has some spool pins I think.I've learned alot from this lock, but want to try something new. Any suggestions?

Took the words from my mouth. My favorite is Master #140 and yes, it has some spool pins. My record on it is 5 seconds : ) I think although it has "security pins," a lot of tension works best. (Only this lock)

[JackNco]

strange light tension works best for me on the 140s i have

[What]

Definitely my Evva DPI, I have only successfully picked it 6 times in about as many months... and it ate a hook pick...

I would one day like to buy the 833C. It is a nice lock. I like how it is liquid nitrogen proff. Right now my favorite lock is my Master 7035.

Where do you buy the liquid nitrogen picks

[Schuyler]

hehe, nice to see spoorated standing strong

I certainly didn't coin it, but I am a HUGE proponent of it!

My favorite lock for the longest time was my first gen sargent keso padlock, but presently it's my 7 pin yales. I have a ton of them, they feel great to pick, and it's just fun to open a 7 pin lock, you know?

Got plenty of interesting locks, but those ones are my favorites.

I'd like to buy some spoorated pins to drop into my locks. They sound fun.

My favorite is either: a 'Master #3' (first picked), Kwick-set deadbold (painfully easy to repin), or a 'Master #911' (kicking my ass)

You can get LN2 from AirGas.

I guess I would have to say a brinks security type box thing. I very new to this so i will describe how i can.

It had pins on top and bottom and surprisingly I did it, took about 37 min, it was my uncle's and I wanted to see what was in it and he had a gun and money.

Anyway is that good for my first lock???

[rewt]

no, it isnt!

why? because it didnt belong to you!

there was a GUN in it... what were you thinking! how would he feel if you committed suicide with it? everyone would blame him.

[BobbO45]

bmn: That would also most definitely fall under the category of: DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU OR OTHERS RELY ON!!

Please, purchase some locks off members, or your local hardware store, and leave locks like that alone.

We say this because too many times someone who doesn't know what they are doing will pick a lock and over-rotate it, etc. and be left in a bad situation.

... well at the very best its a foolish first post.

use your self as an example to how any idiot has access to his gun and Convince him to get a better Gun safe.

And buy some locks to practice on.

PS where are you from in the world?
