Another one bites the dust!
Gege pExtra 6 pins. Pleasant, overmilling actually adds something to it.

anyone have a trustable smart lock recommendation ? Need one for my moms house if she should ever need an ambulance and can’t unlock her door.

@alice I came across my first love lock a few days ago. I'd seen it a few times, but wasn't carrying my tools. I finally remembered to bring them with me today only to find that the keyway seemed to be filled with some sort of glue?
Have you encountered this before? Is there any hope of non-destructive opening left? I imagine probably not (especially at my current skill level).
I'm clearly not the first person who's tried to open it. It's in pretty rough shape.

Locked my office key in my office last night.
Nobody else in the building right now has a key to that door.
Just learned I have not forgotten how to pick a lock. :wecan: :moomin_yes: I feel vindicated for keeping a very rudimentary set of lock picks in my purse for decades. :blobcatcoffee:
Does this qualify for the #locksport tag? It wasn’t really sporty at all. :blobcatthink:

And there are so many references to locks in Shakespeare (and even more to Lock Picking) that I now want to hold some kind of locks exhibition with a fake love lock wall people can add things to.
It is in no way an excuse to get people to give me interesting locks that I get to keep after the exhibition.

After failing to pick the masterlock commercial padlock that trapped me the other day, i picked up my old practice lock- a brass almont rekey- and attempted to get my groove back.
After a little quality time, im able to pick it in a minute or so.
Watch out masterlock. #locksport -

And back on the subject of me being a lock picking bore, I've just picked the weirdest feeling lock I've ever had a go at.
It's from a bundle of front door locks (Euro cylinders) that I got from a locksmith on ebay, and the only way to describe it is that it feels like the inside is coated with rubber.
Managed to get it open, but a very strange sensation.

And I've started getting regular opens on this Kasp lock. I'm really sad, because it looks so cool and fun, but it actually gives very poor feedback and doesn't really feel particularly satisfying to open.
(It's a shame, because I wanted to have another reason to indulge my madness for collecting these aluminium LOTO locks.)

The conference was a blast! I caught most of the panel before my slot, and it was really interesting. Then they split into two breakout groups, and it felt like almost everyone chose mine 😋
The Rabbit Hole challenge tubes were a hit—there was a lot of cheering whenever someone opened one and got their prizes 😁
Three picks needed some corrective surgery afterwards, but all the equipment made it back to me by the end of the hour ❤️🩹
All in all, I feel like it was a very successful lockpicking village.

In this thread, hundreds of YouTube commenters revealing that their strike plates aren't holding back their deadlatches without knowing it. 🙃

Getting ready for the conference this weekend!
After the hinges on the challenge boxes I was making turned out to be too fiddly, I decided to come up with a different design...behold, the "Rabbit Hole"¹, a locksport challenge tube!
7" of hands-on, fun-filled, pipe—just begging to be popped by a bunch of eager new lockpickers!
Each tube will be stuffed with a combination of candy, anti-ICE whistles, and lockpick starter sets.
¹ now to paint bunnies on them

Faint praise for #LPL and this thing goes for $150.00 used on Ebay.

Hanging out with my girlfriend, making locksport challenge boxes for the upcoming conference next week 😁
6 padlocked doors, 6 prize-filled compartments.

I've uploaded my pin sorter if you want to sort by length. My set arrived in a money box.

Getting some exercise with this quirky little thing. #locksport

And I'm mostly posting this so that I can find it again later, but this shop seems like a fun place to find locksport bits.
I might go for their Berserker lock set at some point (it's just 5 random locks to shake up your usual routine, which sounds fun).

Both my sets of lock tools are now complete.
The slightly longer, chunkier ones are a Law Lock Tools set which I'm very lucky to have, as it ended up being triple gauge due to the owner being an absolute gentleman and giving me some free hooks due to a shipping error and subsequent return.
The ones in the two separate pouches are Mario and Luigi, my Multipick set that I put together from two sets of random add ons not meant to be a set, and then buying individual bits.

And my May/June lock haul. I've already picked the Abus and the American Lock, but I'm leaving the Kasp for another day.
I actually started picking the Abus before I even checked if the lock worked (I had a huge dark night of the soul a few weeks ago after I got an American Lock 1100 that I 'couldn't' pick. It turned out that it was broken, and I spent 3 days convincing myself I'd forgotten how to pick locks before even bothering to try the key in it.)

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.
Making my way through the Red Team Tools book and starter kit: https://www.redteamtools.com

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)

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.

I haven't figured out how to set a new combo on this antique lock yet, but at least it was easy to decode 😋

I had to make a tool out of spare bits to pick this ancient disc-tumbler lock!
Yes, I tried the vibrator first, but it wasn't having any of it.
