Easy id really 7g curtain and it turns 360 degrees, i think a few suppliers get them from the manufacturer painted a different colour and market it as their own.

plenty of grey ones and some black under the name adore, just turn curtain if 7g and turns 360 its securefast, the bs pick is a 1 minute opening

These really are the simplest to open with the BS pick. I haven't yet been fortunate enough to have come across one of these on a job as yet but, practising a bit yesterday, I thought I'd kill 2 minutes and got a Securefast out and, in under 2 minutes, first time decode as ever, it was open.

Makes you wonder why a certain association and training school teaches their students to drill 'just 2 holes' to open one really doesn't it...

i'm aware they are easy to open with the decoder but onsite it isnt so easy ,especially if the door has been kicked a little in an attempted break in and the bolt is slightly bent , you will find the number 1 pins will bend and the decoder will not work , i know this because it happened today,and as for drilling only one 7mm hole is required to open this lock . just passing one my findings hope this is a help.

the secret is to make your own bolt throwing pin out of hardened pins, saves the kit ones from getting bent.

Does the hardened pins really make that much of a noticable difference?

by **pinky** » 14 Dec 2004 7:24

for the bolt thrower , yes it does, the kit pins are soft and bend easily, these stops you ruining your pins with the kit.

Pinky - Where do you source the material to make the pins ?.

model shop

Ta.

I need to pay the local model shop a visit anyway, to get a new control for my sons Scalextric. The triggers a little sensitive - keeps flinging the car off the track.

Came across a mauve (purple) coloured securefast the other day. But as the experts say regardless of the colour if you can turn the curtain 360 degrees using a screw driver it is a securefast.

i came across a 5 lever bs in blue the other day identical to the securefast but it was a sterling ?

by **EvoRed** » 16 Feb 2005 5:24

If the curtain turns 360 degrees then it's a Securefast. If named a Sterling it's still a Securefast, just branded differently...
