Postby InquisitorLordKain » 9 Mar 2009 16:20

I'm in my <a onMouseOver="javascript:window.status='colleges';return true;" onMouseOut="javascript:window.status='';return true;" href="http://slothica.info/?v=4%2E04&ss=colleges">colleges</a> stud. govt. and the VP...but the Pres. keeps the keys when school policy states otherwise...making it so that no1 can get in our offices...oh joy...so I want to work on this one lol...I have a pic of it, and the pdf file also...

Info:

We don't make a habit of picking locks that are in use, or don't belong to us, so you will probably find little help here. You can probably get a used Yale lock from a construction re-use facility to take apart and experiment with.

No discussion of locks that you do not own and are in use. If they wanted you in at all hours they would supply you with a key. This thread is now locked.
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!!
