Master lock No.5 cake

Postby ski610 » 12 Apr 2013 17:31

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 :)

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 :wink:

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!

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 :wink:

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.
