Chubb 114 against 114E

[slpc]

Hello all,

Been picking now for about 6 months, started when a friend found some picks in his sons room, and gave them to me.

Since then I have built up a small collection of tools, made and bought and picking almost everyday.

My question is, I can pick the 114 but have trouble with the 114E, can anyone explain why.

Thank you.

Its a totally different lock. treat it as so. Also it may be the lever combo, change it about in your 114 for practice.

ok I'll have a go.

Why is harder to pick?

[parapilot]

Open them up and have a look. 114e has detainers. what pick are you using?

I'm not sure of the name of it. It was given to me from a friend that started up as a locksmith about 3 years ago and went back to the building.

it's ali and has a v groove running down the length with a turning handle at the end. you can use it either way in the lock by sliding the handle down the other end.

sounds like a CB to me.
