Its been ages since iv had a leisurely pick so iv been a bit rusty lately.
Had a good session today and conquered two iv never beat before: the garrison and integrator, the latter a lot easier than i expected with the tighter keyway 8) its nice to have the touch back

Notice the two multilocks, they´re my first read dimple locks. :D
Really fun to pick, huge feedback.
Otherwise pretty standard / easy locks.

Curiously, I have discovered that this 4-5pin padlock by 'Sterling' (cheap) can be picked with extreme ease by putting a hook(feeler?) pick in to the rear of the lock and depressing the ?pin there, it unlocks immediately.

Anyone know why this is? it seems like a design flaw to me.

Bpl152 thats it.

Security rating 5, I'm hoping thats the lowest rating not the highest.

Well I'm struggling a bit with these 5 pin Yale locks.

On the other hand, these other ones seem to be ok for some reason... :lol:

Weird, always used to struggle picking Mul-T-Locks back when I was consistently opening Medeco locks.

About an hour's work, makes a break from reading secondary criticisms. Nothing very special - 5+6 pin euro cylinders for the most part, have a Sargent 6 pin rim cylinder there and an MTL classic. :)

A cool viro "totem". I had to use a bogota since the drill protection covers almost all the keyway, and the need of using 2 tension wrenches makes difficult to play with a hook or a diamond.
