practicing with analogues of real situations

[shortlineflyer]

Ive been trying to setup different things that might be present in real life situations, mostly lockouts.
padlocks attached to chains and hasps
installing a door knob/deadbolt on a board(like a 2x4)

Does Anyone one else have any similar ideas?

Perhaps try picking handcuffs while bound naked to a bed and covered with chocolate syrup and whipped cream?

Id also recommend this but make sure you have someone very very close by to help you out if you cant pick it. And they should also be naked so you dont feel embarrassed.

i think the chocolate syrup would actually gum up the lock and then you would be stuck and even more embarresed when you need to call someone to get you out

Yes any good locksmith will practice on oddball situations, theres nothing worse than having to think fast on a real job when things go wrong.

for example. my snapper bar broke a few weeks back rounding off the end of a thumbturn cylinder, that took some fiddling

other good things to try that iv encountered:

- deadlocking snib on nightlatch dropped with no letterbox on door.

- lever spring damage in a lever lock, ie: lever goes up and doesn't come back down

- opening a superglued lock

- missing bolt tail in a lever lock

No course can train you to deal with the things that really occur you need to use your noodle and be as prepared as possible.

I would love to hear how you took down the super glued lock. And then I'd love to hear how they managed to pour super glue into the lock and what exactly the goal was in the first place. That's great stuff.

Once i had a chubb ava lock on a nightsafe jammed up with green heiniken bottle glass. Then a week later there was a spider who decided to move in to the same lock he didnt get out before the key got in true story poor spider

One way to sort a superglued lock is to get a key prefferably steel and get it red hot stick it in this will burn away most glue or at least soften it so the propper key will work.
