curtain

[cred]

hi,
can anyone help, i have managed to pick open all my bs locks ie union,yale,era,chubb ect but recently i got a securefast bs lock to practice on, so i do what i always do measure and drill,but when i go to pick the levers and put tension on by turning the curtain it just keeps turning any suggestions
thanx

firstly drilling isnt picking, you have not picked them you drilled them but hey you got in.

on most curtain locks its the curtain that throws the bolt , except in the securefast, the curtain turns a full 360 and is just an anti pick measure it doesnt throw the bolt, when you lift the levers you need to insert an L shape wire into the talon ( the V cut out in bolt ) and throw as for a non curtain lock.

cheers i found out why you just have to like you said throw the bolt yourself, but its the only one you have to do that all the others you just turn the curtain and it dose all the work

you need to do the same with sterling, though they are securefast under a different name.

this is how you id a securefast through the keyhole, if you see a blue grey or mauve lock case with a spindley 7g keyway, put a screw driver in and turn, if the curtain turns a full 360 you know its a securefast.

you can drill no probs , though harder on right, and if you have the bs pick its an easy decode , it takes about 1 to 2 minutes to decode and build the key for the door 100% every time.

its the eaqsiest decoder as the curtain turns 360 and the lock only has 5 lever heights.

great info pinky cheers,you was right about the safe lock the leg was too long, it was catching on the bolt b4 getting chance to sit in the talon
