What did you pick today?

I did a lockout on a garage door on an apartment storage unit, it was a 5 pin wafer with a chicago keyway, lock was wierd, once picked it only turned about the 12:15 position and then you push the handle down and it's unlocked, really wierd, I kept picking thinking it should turn as much as a normal lock, but not these!

A royal mail postbox bought into a mates shop, apparently theyre collectable

good pick, think it was 6 lever with a spring loaded bolt, so tension felt wierd.

Otherwise not much more challenging than a cheap 7 lever safe

I picked up four Euro-style cylinders from a local Pound shop (hey, eight locks for £4), and have managed to open them all. Feels like one or two have security pins too. Not much, but I haven't had much time for picking recently
[One day, I'm going to apply for the Advanced section, just to see if I get accepted....]

Master Lock #3, Chinese laminated padlock and Mountain Security deadbolt with all 5 pins installed. What can I say other than the obvious--I'm still a noob :lol:

I picked a Marks High Security cylinder this morning. It isn't keyed to the key in the picture because I rearranged all the pins last week. Then started to work on it last night. That was a long enough wait to completely forget the order I had put the pins into the lock.

Between last night and this morning it took me a little over an hour to pick this lock.

If you take a close look at the second picture you can see what makes this lock so hard to pick. They have a false notch in the plug to catch the driver pin (the same nasty trick that the Assa twin 6000 uses). Right now I am extremely happy with myself. :mrgreen:

conquered my nemesis, been giving me some serious headache. One of those where you have to use virtually no tension at all, breathe and you reset the pins
