I can't pick this thing. I cleaned it and now it's somehow the most precisely-built lock the world has ever seen. I've tried everything. I used a bunch of picks and tensioners, a burnt potholder, a multi-color ink pen, two other picked locks, a fake Dupont lighter, a 1 oz. silver bar, a AAA battery holder, some tangerine lip balm, Nintendo games, a 2.7V 10F capacitor, an empty American 1100 box, and a rubber maggot. Nothing has worked.
Rubber maggot? Is that a thing?!
Also, if you would recommend a solid lock pick starter kit, would greatly appreciate
Some of both of those in there, plus some Peterson. I'm going to have to throw some dirt in the thing.
Less expensive than most random hobbies. Might see me on pickstr soon 👀
Yeah, our kid has a bunch of fake gross stuff so there are maggots and vomit and poop everywhere.
I always suggest this: https://covertinstruments.com/products/learn-lockpicking-bundle
Or this: https://covertinstruments.com/products/genesis-lock-pick
The aforementioned kid can open enough stuff with that kit that I keep Abloy cores around for locking important things.
Thanks, I’ll give this a look
LockPicking is a very fun hobby
Seems like it. Tools are cheap enough that feel confident I can yolo order the basics and not have any remorse even if they mostly sit unused in a “go bag”
Holy crap this abloy stuff is really neat.
Yeah, disc detainer is crazy. Rear-tension DD picks are basically homemade and like 500 bucks. I have a nice Abus DD that is not really pickable without special tooling.
And now I'm reflecting on how I have very few locks that actually get used to lock things...
When I live in Sarajevo my front door had a lock that you turned many times and it literally lifted the door out of a steel groove in the frame. It was incredible. The key had teeth and 3d dimples on the side. It was hardcore I want that door again.
One stick of dynamite, you're welcome
You and nostr:nprofile1qqsqvf72t8njcepn4culslawx4qw8xe7mja749ftgng66an959yfmrspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhhgetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvsrcs7j3 are on the same page, I see.
Another man of culture, you live to see it.
Well, I spoke too soon. The only thing I didn't try was the OG Bogota rake. I swear those things are blessed with wizard magic or something.
