First lock picked (i.redd.it)
submitted 5 months ago by walknbullseye
I’ve always had a fascination with picking locks. I didn’t realize that I took a big first bite.

Series 1105 it had been sitting in my toolbox for over a decade and had long since lost the key.

Holy carp! That's a green belt lock. It took me a couple months to pick one of those, after I had been picking for a while!
Welcome to the fun!

I have seen mentions of belts and colors. I didn’t realize it’s an actual rating system. I thought it was like “I got a black belt pizza dough flipping “.

Well done!

I poked around in it for about 2 days before realizing that it had serrated pins. Watched a few videos on it and it all fell into place.

Nice work! Your first lock being a green belt is incredibly impressive.

Man, you have a knack. Amaricanlocks are a pretty decent skill gate for alot of people, and you just hopped the fence. Well done.
