What did you pick today?

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Well it wasnt exactly picking but I opened a Kwikset lever entrance set that had a Cyberlock cylinder in it. Then disconnected the lock function so it cannot be locked again.

I opened it quickly using a bypass tool with no damage ( a 3/4" wood chisel)

Last night I picked 7 of the 9 locks that I have and learned that really cheap poorly made locks are much harder to SPP than mediocre quality locks due to their excessive sloppiness of construction.

I picked my two practice padlocks and found an old deadbolt in the garage which I picked, but felt kinda cheated because the mechanism is shot and the bar didn't move, even though the barrell turned. might take it apart and have a go at repairing it for a more satisfying pick :lol:

I got this Wise-Lock a while ago as a gift but without a key.
If you pick those locks (push key) you know how the key is supposed to look.
So I just bought two cheap cut keys on ebay and adjusted one of them with a file so that it operates the lock.

Today just a Cisa 210/40 padlock, 5 pins (of which 4 are spool pins and one is regular). Luckily my burns are recovering too :)

A nice Lockwood kik I got from lunchb0x some years ago. This lock has very strong springs and I was not able to pick it when I got it. I left it sitting in a drawer for so long and almost forgot about it. Yesterday I found it and decided to give it a go... I had to tension it a lot more than usual, and got it straight forward!

Cheers :)

The bypass, was that bypassing the Cyberlock cylinder or the lock itself?

I picked a Master #3 and then a Ludell brass padlock from Hong Kong. Both went quickly with just a half diamond.

I've been on a Mul-T-Lock kick - 2 classic euros and 2 rim cylinders, and 2 Interactive euro cylinders. I've also raked open 2 cheapo entrance knobsets on lockouts, and had my arse handed to me by a small Yale laminated padlock which had to be introduced to Mr. Angle-grinder after steadfastly refusing to come out of false set for the best part of an hour. It's been banished to the naughty box and *WILL BE DEAFEATED* eventually. :)
