What did you pick today?

[adi_picker]

Congrats Grey! Always nice to have new faces joining in this thread, keep it up mate.

More from the 'I finally found one to buy!' series.

ASSA 600 - New style barrel drivers throughout


This was great fun to pick! Light tension required due to the heavy countermilling.

EVVA DPI H24 Padlock


Crazy keyway, but did have cutouts for the pins through them, so a tall pick was the order of the day. Surprisingly for an EVVA, not particularly hard.

I picked my Ultimate Practice lock, pinned to only 4 standard key and drivers. 5 more opens and then I'll add the 5th pin.

Keep at it! Doing good so far.

I've made it to 5 standard key/drivers with 2 successful opens. I've identified my current biggest hurdles which will be solved in the morning with the purchase of a hobby vise.

I took a short break from Abloy for the last couple days to work on this Anchor Las tool. This was a little more challenging because the 810-1 is their only padlock model that cannon't be disassembled so I had to work only from the dimensions of the key. I couldn't find any space/depth info on the Anchor Las and ended up just marking it the same as the Classic. After picking it open I think the 18 degree and 2mm spacing is correct though.

Well done, GGL.

Just a little different from the typical pick...





Nicely paracentric keyway...



NOTE: I did not design this, I just printed it. Credit for the design goes to redcatimaging at Thingiverse. If you want to print one, here is the link. Check out redcatimaging's designs Clearly a locksport enthusiast!

Well done, Gordon. To be fair, you should use 3D printed pick and wrench!

Cheers

Abloy Protec:



Making a video to show this in operation is pretty difficult without showing some of the tool, or some of its workings.

Look forward to seeing the video, Hux!

Protec II:



I realise that this shows very little though!

Gordon - I have since posted a video of the Protec I picking. The tool for Protec II is different and so I will definitely not be doing a video on that one for now.

Very nicely done!

Will go check out the video.

Awesome Hux! Well done mate. Something not quite as special from me, but I am always happy when I pick another Lockwood Gen6!

Lockwood Gen6T w/ B14 profile


The profiles in this restricted series have hands down the tightest keyways I have ever encountered. The little wibble at the top still manages to grab a specially thinned .013 pick everytime, so you get very little feedback from the pins. This cylinder is also from the latest revision of the series, which has added 2 ASSA 'T' pins to extend patent life. For those who don't know, the 'T' pins are just pins with 2 different faces, with each one sitting on a different cut in the key. I imagine they have to use a special cutter on the key machine to achieve these type of cuts, I will have to ask for a demo next time I am at that LS.

Nice, adi. Never seen one of the eight pin versions of the BiLock.
