how many locks have you done?

Picking during Micro...... Somehow I can see this being rather bad later on. I know theres a joke about Bacillus and pns in this somewhere..... But, if I had the choice between picking, and say... gram positive pathogenesis...

Maybe he should write a novel instead.
I've done about 25-40 locks now. Most difficult was an American 1105 series padlock.

I have been picking for about a year now. I would say that I have poped about 300 locks. I found best, 7 pin to be easy (picking one at a time)
Most american 5-pin cylinders to be easy and six pin with serrated lower pins to be quite hard. Never had a problem with master locks, but Keymark SFIC's Give me grey hairs. The hardest I have come across would be Primus, Medeco, Abloy Disclocks, Zeiss Ikon, Assa high end locks, Sargent high end locks, Sargent and Greenleaf locks, and some Tri circle.

If you want to practice on that many locks, make friends with a locksmith....... or their dumpster.

I suppose a locksmith, of 20 years that does on average around perhaps 2 locks a day whether it practice or work, would have chalked up over 7000 lock openings !!!

If you do some sort of training you will probably open somwhere in the region of 30-40 locks in a week.

Now if you get 20 locksmiths that have all trained and been doing it for 20 years thats a lot of picks and a lot of locks :lol:

Are you sure it would not be more like 14600 locks picked by a single locksmith doing two a day for twenty years? 365*2*20=14600. Just a thought. :lol:

I had opened 30ish locks before I quit for a half a year. I am back into it now, and have too few locks to play with now. (Pay check = money = locks) though, so more locks I will be getting soon enough. I do not open locks that do not belong to me, so that limits what I can and can't to greatly.

Keep up the good work.

I never really kept track, probably less than 300 more than 100. That's just a wild guess though.

Yes you are right,

I need to start learning again,

I am somewhere around 100 locks

by **GateTwelve** » 27 May 2005 11:15

I have to be somewhere in the 75-100 range.
Ever since I adopted the hobby, all of my loved ones buy me locks for all holidays, special occasions, or just for no reason at all. I only still have about 20 of them. I usually pass them off to my other buddies that pick locks when I'm done with them. Only the important/expensive ones do I keep (along with a couple confidence builders - master, weiser, etc).

just wanted to say that im up to 14 locks now...most of which are padlocks, maybe padlocks are easier for most. because of the feedback from the spring.
