I've opened roughly:
7 Master #3's
4 of another Master type (I forget which)
4 small Brinks locks
1 Brinks R70 (My only one with spools)
10 or so quicksets, or other cheap knock-offs.

So somewhere between 25-30 locks. Yay

I think that 'dog eggs' would be more understandable than road apples :P

I lost count of the locks picked sometime in the 1970's, but I know I have made more than a hundred picks. :wink:

ha ha :lol:, but no what i mean is you turn the lock around so the numbers are backwards, then you apply preasure to both ends of the lock and then you turn the dial from left to right until the first dial goes stif and when there is "play" in the lock mechanism itself continue to do this from left to right you should notice that the "play" increases when each dial is in place and that is it
