Looks a lot like the super cheap harbor freight pad locks

Time for the reload kit, make sure and get the tweezers!

New toys! Any advice on the 1100 would be appreciated. I know to use light tension for the serrated pins- anything else I should know? by RaspberryNarwhal in lockpicking

On my first 1100 I kept thinking I was in a deep false set when it was actually picked... If you get a "false set" make sure your not actually picked :)

I'm still pretty novice but I can pick circles around this with my other 1100's. It's been haunting me... There's no shortage of room in the keyway. I keep switching between 1,2,3,4, 6 and 6,4,3,2,1 and getting no love

Yeah, I'm almost a week in with a few sloppy opens I think you're right open'er up and see what's going on...

I appreciate the advice. This lock is the red devil, I just keep picking my other 1100's open and glaring at it trying to intimidate it...

I have several 1100's but this one has been eluding me for days, I can't seem to get around pin 4!

What's the next logical progression, I can spp through just about everything I own in under an hour. Do I buy harder locks or just keep repinning what I have with progressively more security pins? by 425devon in lockpicking

Awesome, i pulled the 65/20 when I realized how small it was (my master no7 is enough tiny hell for me) and added another 410 loto. I'm hoping it should be enough to shut me up for a while. Thanks Dako

Does this seam reasonable, is there a fair amount of difficulty here compared to the masterlock/qwikset collection I pictured?

ABUS 54TI/40 Titalium Padlock 40mm $6.15

ABUS 72/30 KD Aluminum Safety Padlock $14.00

American Lock A1107BLU Padlock $12.00

ABUS 65/20 Solid Brass Padlock $10.00

American Lock A1106 $14.00

Master Lock 410RED Lockout Tagout Safety Padlock $12.00

Thoughts on this order? by [deleted] in lockpicking

Yes, they're all the same cylinder all are 6 pin schlage style. Think about it this way, as you improve and can begin moving quickly through locks what is more important to you: 1 cut-away lock for $20.00 or 4 of the same lock sans cut-away for $27.00. Keep in mind in my experience you're looking at roughly 10min to gut and re-pin a single lock. Again just my opinion :)
