Oops! I mean the tension wrench return on the Roto is greater, so the lighter touch is needed on the Commando.

SWEET! Great job!

Schlage primus. Oh yeah.

Nice work on the Primus - they're on my want list, but I've yet to get my hands on one.

Todays (actually yesterday) pick was the DOM fusion 1109 - he's been in my naughty box for eveeer, so I was chuffed to finally get him picked. The BEST is another naughty box veteran, finally got him picked a few days ago.

Nice one mhole! DOM can be a really tough pick, I have one lying around here which is just a standard 5 pinner with an easy bitting and I can't seem to crack it. Really weird.

I finally got this after months of trying, right after having a big binge on ASSA/Ruko cylinders. I'm not sure what the security pins in the Dom are like, but i was getting a big false set rotation, then getting totally stuck. Approaching it like an ASSA after thid big rotation is what finally did the trick, so I suspect a mix of spools and assa style pins.

Actually this doesn´t deserve to be here, it was ridicuosly easy to rake open. Still has to spp it once I get it cleaned good.

But wanted to share it here because it´s celebration time, this was my 100th lock I have picked!

[GWiens2001]

Congratulations!

Isn't that a wafer ignition lock? Seems I've seen one before.

Might be ignition but it´s a normal 6 pin tumbler.

I just used a bogota-esque rake from the sparrow pick set to open an American 1105 lock (in a single stroke) that I've been trying to SPP for the past couple days. It actually kind of made me a bit angry that I could rake it open so easily but not SPP, takes all the fun out of things

Aside from that, an American 1100, Master ProSeries 6840, a couple Master 532s, a few random clones of the Master disc-shaped lock (forget the number) ... some other things ... we're getting a bit of a compilation of random locks here at work where it appears I've gotten my co-workers into lockpicking.

acquired a Master 3UP and some small Garrison lock. Both super easy and straight forward picks
