I have a Medeco M3 deadbolt for my room. Good luck picking that one. They have the rotating pins, plus the multiple side bars. You buy that vise from bosnian bill? lol Lock has a cool keyway. I've got an assa abloy I've been trying to pick for the last 4 years. False sets all day, but no open. I have read people have raked it into the false set, but it took pretty decent skill to pick it open from there.
I've got some new goodies inbound! A set of dimple picks from Sparrows and a couple of locks to go with it. I also picked up a few replacement picks from Peterson.
I want to have a go at dimple locks. Sparrows makes nice stuff. Always wanted some peterson picks, but lack of cert makes purchase tough.
Any security pins in the brinks? Those red safety locks are a joke lol. Although I had one that tricked me 10 times in a row, picked it easily every time. But the stupid shackle was broken.
The brinks is an easy one. Only one spool pin in that. The loto was 6 pins all spools, and the American is a 5 pin all serrated. The yale/ace mortise lock is a 5 pin but only 2 spools in that one.
It's ridiculous how easy the Masterlock 175 is to bypass. And a great example of how they use weight to create the illusion of security.
So very true, this is why I dont use master locks. Construction wise they are reasonable, but resistance to bypassing- they are atrocious.
My set of sparrows dimple picks arrived today. If tracking is to be trusted, I should be receiving some locks to try them out on tomorrow!
The Decoders are very thin and can bend easily, but by necessity of course. I also have a pair of their Quick Sticks and those are thicker/stiffer. But both are so small and light and pack flat that you can carry them in a wallet, etc. and not even know they're there.
I'll have to check those out. I have a bogota set and the mace picks from sparrows, but neither of them quite hit the sweet spot between easy of carry and usability.
Shouldn't drink and pick. I had a few too many old fashioneds and bent my peterson reach beyond repair.
