I picked my first pin-tumbler lock today!
Granted, it’s a practice lock with only a single pin in it, but…hey! At least I learned the basics.

Thank you so much to #RedTeamTools for sponsoring me for the upcoming conference I'm teaching at.
@deviantollam was kind enough to send me enough 2-piece kits to cover expected participants, and apparently there's another delivery on the way with some door straps and other goodies 🥰
BTW, you can get your own starter kits here: https://www.redteamtools.com/learn-about-lockpicking-kit/ (I also highly recommend Dev's book)

@boghan I mostly see them near the #LockSport hashtag

Oh, and as a dull #LockSport note for myself, Lockshop Warehouse has Federal Locks branded locks that you can order affordably in the UK. I've struggled to find them in the UK otherwise (at least without paying arseloads of money).
-
Oh, and a quick #LockSport question: does anyone know of a UK seller where I can get core shims?
I've found plenty on sale in the US, Australia and Germany but the postage is absurd.

Hah! and I got my Abus 80Ti/45 open.
This was an absolute bastard, but it taught me a lot about binding order and how to use different levels of pressure.
Amazing lock. (Even if it was hand crafted by Satan to destroy my sanity).
Right, I'm going to play daft computer games for a bit.

Hah! More boring lockpicking stuff!
I just picked an Abus 64Ti/50.
Yes, I'm a bit obsessed with this brand at the moment, because I find them so difficult.

And in more lockpicking bore news, I managed to get another Abus lock open - my 60/50.
It's a pain in the arse, but at least I'm learning a lot about the inside of locks.

CW: locksport
So I tried some lockpicking way way back, but then life happened, you know how it goes. So I stopped.
Today on a whim I picked up a padlock (a simple but functional one). Not having any picking tools, I fashioned a pair from, what else, two hair pins.
It took me a long time, and I was starting to wonder if I was doing this right. I had to change hands a few times because my turning hand kept cramping.
But I finally did it! Just as I was thinking I was probably gonna stop.
So I'm back in the hobby ^_^ as unskilled as I am.
EDIT: I've just retried the same padlock to check (as Lockpicking Lawyer would put it) it wasn't a fluke.
And I managed to do it, now that I remember the kind of movement I am supposed to do, within less than 20 seconds.
Given I have no experience in this, you bet your ass I am incredibly proud of myself!
EDIT 2: nevermind, third attempt went so badly, after a while I quit and started from scratch. Fourth attempt didn't succeed either, I am done for the time being.
I guess I do not have as much talent as I initially thought ;3 but I will learn to be better.
EDIT 3: I lied. I had to try again, due to my pride.
I succeeded! And now I know my turning tool is garbage and that was the issue during two previous attempts. I had assumed I was bad at fiddling with the pins. See? I am learning what can go wrong already!

So, the blue lock was the first American Lock 1100 that I ever picked. When I started thinking about things like the Lockpickers United belt rankings, I didn't want to risk ruining it by gutting it, so I bought the red one to gut.
But now I'm really attached to the red one, and I don't want to risk ruining it by gutting it, so I'm going to buy...
(This is how I end up with a rainbow of 1100s and still only have an orange belt.)

And I have finally fucking picked an Abus lock.
Fucking twice, because the first time my phone ran out of battery before I could take the photo and then I dropped the tensioning tool.
Fucking Abus nonsense. It probably sabotaged my phone.

Holy crap! Locknoob actually impressioned that unpickable lock open! I honestly didn't think anyone was going to get it. I thought that plastic pin was going to be enough to stop people but I guess not. #lockpicking #locksport

For my #FediSkillshares entry, check out #LearnLockpickingWithAlice!
If you happen to be in the #Seattle area, I'd be happy to teach (almost) anyone, hands-on, on a pay-what-you-feel-comfortable per-session basis (all equipment and locks provided).
Also happy to teach small groups (or big conferences).

I'm Shammers.
I'm a #furry (since 2006), gay/ace/whatever, leftist dork who's very weird and not hiding it.
My interests include audio (in general), synths, solving weird problems, programming, 3D printing, CAD (#FreeCAD specifically), hating on big tech, self-hosting, and #locksport.
In a past life, I did a lot of DJing (house, trance, techno, etc. at clubs, cons, and streams), but things have gotten far too busy for that these days. One day I might continue it again.

In other news, my new Law Lock Tool pick set has come.
It's fine if I blow off work to play with locks for the rest of the day, right?
(It is 100% not fine)
-
In other news, I've cheered myself up by buying myself a new set of lockpicks (Law Lock Tools Renegade Pro, for those who are interested.)
I will now contemplate whether I should face the music, hide the picks, or attempt to gaslight my wife into believing that I've had them for ages and she didn't notice them.
(I won't really do the last one, since that would be shite behaviour. I may tell her they only for £25 though.)
-
In #LockSport news, it's probably a bad sign for my financial responsibility that Multipick has looked at my activity in their shop and decided I'm a business customer...
(I know it's just spam, but it amused me)

Fediverse Question (especially for hackers, burglars, lockpickers, and miscreants):
What is that name of this lock?
I need to replace it. And I need to know what to type into the search bar to replace it.
(The lock mechanism uses wafers. But I'm not looking for a "wafer lock" - like... I can't put a cabinet wafer lock on this).
It's used for locked glass bulletin boards (physical boards). I dont want to buy a new board. I just need to replace the lock. We can pick it open (and pick it closed) but not everyone knows how to jiggle a jiggler.
(side question... I dont even need to replace the lock if it has a standard key)
(Edit. Maybe if I added the pictures that would help)
