Whats this Assa lock?

[Squelchtone]

just out of interest, without going into too much detail to get me in trouble again...

would a strategically placed hole render the sidebar useless or are those pins held in by other means

coughcoughcowboywithdrillcoughcough.. but seriously, They have drill protection and even without sidebar, picking the 6 key pins is a real chore, I think jkthecjer was working on it recently and not getting too far and he's a really good picker.

Cheers,

I've picked one and I could possibly give some insight but I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say out here in the open. Guidance anyone?

Im finding it difficult to get the sidebar pins to bind.

DO you try set the top pins first then move on to the sidebar?

[Rickthepick]

easy enough to take apart so il practice one pin at a time

Is that acceptable practice? I'm not trying to be rude. I am more than happy to help a fellow picker. However, I haven't posted here very much and I don't want to get myself in trouble. I do know that discussion about high security locks is generally reserved for the advanced section.

the sidebar mech is immense.

jruther2, I'm pretty sure that pm's will be fine. Rick has been here for a while. I think LP101 mainly doesn't want the info searchable through google.

Good luck picking that Rick, I gave you warning earlier that they are very difficult. And now you can see why. Just FYI, the lock you have is the older style. They have changed the driver pins since then. So if you ever get to where you can pick that one consistantly, the next challenge would be to get a newer one. Either way, if you pick that lock I will be thoroughly impressed. Just like I am with jruther2's picking ability.

I see, thanks for the info pal. Also thanks for the nice compliment, the respect is mutual.

They made them harder?

to be honest this is out of my league

Anyone that can open locks of this calibre have some serious patience and sensitivity

I take it you've not seen inside the Twin Combi then

Biaxial style rotational pins along with the serrations
