Stanley BEST Access Locks

Postby LockSportsman » 17 Aug 2007 15:32

Hi, I have always been a big fan of lock sports picking and have almost mastered all there is to know about basics and locks that you encounter normally. Recently I decided to look at my schools multicore locks and to see if I can pick them. The brand they use is BEST, a sub of Stanley. These locks can all be cored with a core key, and they can also be master keyed. The locks are very rugged and have very little slack in the plug. I was wondering if anyone has encountered these locks? I have tried to pick them, but have had no success. I also wanted to make a bump key to try, but all BEST brand blanks are secured and only sold to institutions that own their product. This is driving me crazy, I can't stand to know there is a lock in the area that I can't pick, so anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advanced

DO NOT PICK LOCKS THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE RELIES ON

what you are suggesting would also be considered a felony in most countries

I would love to own a BEST lock, but you have to purchase a whole system just to get a lock. I am not pick to steal or break or enter, I simply would like to be able to master it. I have been trying to get one from the school dump, hopping they would have thrown one away. So far no luck.

Yes, I have an idea!! Do NOT pick locks that you do not own.

Time for a thread locking.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
