Master lock No.5 cake

[ski610]

Now I know the No.5 isn't a very difficult lock but I was trying to SPP it for a while before becoming frustrated and deciding to jiggle my rake in there when it just popped after inserting the rake... I didn't modify the lock in any way shape or form its a new lock I've SPP'd a couple times with a small hook. If this is boring or nobody likes this feel free to delete the post

Nice.

What does the key look like?

Hmm, call me stupid but I browse the site on my phone and don't know how to post pictures.... It's a standard five pin master lock key tho.

I think what Gordon meant that if the key has high-low bittings next to each other or are all the cuts nearly the same height. Makes a HUGE difference in opening time when raking.

For posting pictures here you must go to some external service, like Photobucket, and copypaste img from there.

And we usually aren´t getting bored when talking about locks

[ski610]

Ahhh ok, yeah the key cuts go from high to low in a uniform fashion. The first pin being the highest and the fifth being the lowest.

Well done ski610, I always look for tough keyways if I am going to buy a lock to practice with. Not much sense in getting something I know I can rake open in two seconds flat!

[ski610]

Well the No.5 did give me a challenge for a little while when I was SPP'ing it but now it's just sitting on my desk, I'm waiting for my ultimate challenge practice lock to come in the mail so I can start playing with spools and whatnot.

All the Master locks in that catagory like the 1-3- or 5 are good to hone some basic skills. Skills that you should take with you the rest of ur life. Docjon

All Master Locks #1-6 have the same core and latch mechanism, the differences are body size and material (Odd numbers are laminated steel, even numbers are laminated brass versions or the lower odd number).

I don't think a Master Lock cake would look nearly as delicious.

The notches for the locking dogs cut into the shackle are not even.

But very nice marzipan work on that cake.

GW, the uneven notches are a security feature to prevent opening with cream cheese shims

[GWiens2001]

We can't discuss cream cheese shims outside the advanced forums. Now some kid is going to Google it and figure out how to open a school locker with dairy products.

Well, you can already open safes with potatos, so why not use cream cheese shims as well.
