Brinks Stainless Steel Shielded Storage Lock

I hear that Brinks shrouded locks are really ridiculously hard. A lot of security pins.

Success! I was finally able to pick it. Man, it really took me a long time to get it open! (Two weeks actually) I was able to open it by using a rake pick and jiggling the thing until my arm got numb and almost fell off! But she popped open real, real nice.

Now that I know what to feel for, I'm working on getting consistent...and that is the name of the game.

What a sick and addicting hobby. I love it. It gives me goosebumps.

Picked:
Master Lock 130 (might of been the 130d)

2 things,

1 congrats on the locks, and dont worry, you'll get that 532! It was my enemy for the longest time. go after the second pic and when the lock rotates just a bit, loosen the tension and rock the curve of your S-snake pick over the second pin while sightly loosening and applying more tension. the spring is pretty tough on that lock but you will feel a nice smooth turning when you pick it, until it turns all the way and makes a great noise when it pops the shackle. good luck!

2. it's not "might of been" it's "might have been" think about it... might of been makes no sense right? but everyone says it so fast it sound like of, but it's really the word "have". And since we're talking past tense with the word "been", "have been" is the proper way to complete that phrase.

good luck with that No.532 and enjoy that fresh new smell of proper grammar.

Someday you are going to be the geekiest dad. Your kids will beg to come to Uncle Schuyler's place where grammar is more a thought puzzle than a way of living.

I have a feeling that you'll be the cool uncle who teaches them how to pick locks when they're 10 years old. I'm holding out to teach them till they're at least 15.

=)

see you tonight at the TOOOL meeting. prepare for a full frontal assault for your geeky dad comment.

[Schuyler]

prepare for...full frontal...for your...dad.

[n00bking]

Well I have a couple to add.

Picked-master lock 40 knockoff
Master Lock 1 Knockoff
Another Kwikset deadbolt, I can pick it with up to 2 spools

Not Picked
Acursed 140
Master Lock 3 Weatherproof

well see, with the weatherproof lock, the night I got it I could pick it consistently in under 10 seconds. The next day I couldn't, but I could every once in a while. Now I can't for the life of me. Bump key and snap gun don't work either....GERRRRR!

To the guy who got the brinks shrouded, I am VERY envious of your skills...I thought of picking on up, (meaning buying one not picking it, well of course picking after buying) but then I thought, n00bking, you aren't gonna get it you will get very mad and then you will end up never picking it up again.

Also, can you re-pin them? Doesn't look like it but I don't have one...

Also I wanted to pick up a Master Lock solid steel body re-pinable one...they look o so sleek compared to the ugly numbers 1,3,5, and 7. But I thought to myself it is just a 4 pin cylinder like all of the Master Locks...but just more expensive...am I right? Or are they harder?

Picked:
(spp)

Padlocks:
1.Various Masterlock #1, #3's
2.Mastermocks from the dollar store
3.Arbus Diskus #24 (hockey puck style lock, not sure of the correct nomenclature)
4.Masterlock #140 although I'm not sure I'm spp'ing this right since it pops as soon as I lift the second pin after the binding pin. this was my step up lock from the #1 and #3's wanting a little more challenge so I'll probably buy another to help me feel and understand the security pins better


I popped a 5-pin deadbolt that was unattached and laying around my buddies basement but it didn't have a name on it, and am currantly bested by a Dexter 5-pin deadbolt

Picking the Brinks shrouded is somewhat of a rite of passage. You should pick one up, it's a very difficult lock for the money it costs. You will not be able to pick it in a few minutes, likely not even a few weeks, but you will be able to pick it if you keep trying. If everyone who failed to pick a lock right away gave up on it we wouldent have much to discuss here.
