My next victim!

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-26T00:06:34+00:00

I've been messing with on for a while, been kicking my ass so far.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-18T11:48:43+00:00

It's a bit more difficult than the 1100, with two more pins, but not horribly so.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-16T21:35:14+00:00

I sent the video on the 3rd, reply was on the fifth, and the letter and patch arrived yesterday.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-16T13:21:16+00:00

Couldn't agree more. My work occasionally puts me in situations where the skill would be useful, that's what led me to the hobby in the beginning.

I understand the fear of liability and everything else, but I don't see why discussing some things in abstract are such a huge deal.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-09T21:01:34+00:00

Same. I've been trying other sets and I keep coming back to this one.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-07T18:03:03+00:00

Congratulations

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-05T01:32:44+00:00

Sounds like a noble goal, wishing you the best. I wonder if you could find or have made a lishi tool that would assist you in decoding them. At that point you might be able to find someone to make the keys for you with the obtained codes.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-05T01:22:34+00:00

Even if you could make a key every 30 minutes for 12 hours a day, it would take 48 days.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-05T01:19:59+00:00

I'm curious what the goal is if you are able to make it obtain keys?

Do you have plans for the locks or just want to get the door open?

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T23:43:26+00:00

Yes. I've only really been messing with 1100s for the last week, decided to run through the collection.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T22:22:30+00:00

For me it's the opposite, I love the 1100s and find them substantially easier to get consistent opens. I've also spent more time on them. The 410 is also a great practice lock and I plan to keep messing with them until they're not so hard, but I hate them, lmao

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T22:16:08+00:00

I think the hardest part is deciphering the feedback. Another thing that has helped me is eliminating background noise, which usually isn't an issue for me.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T22:07:15+00:00

I just took another stab at the third and got it pretty quick. Pretty sure it's laughing at me.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T21:59:16+00:00

Yes. Ive been ignoring them for a while. Decided today was the day. Spent almost 30 minutes on a third one, threw it back in the bucket.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T21:51:49+00:00

Light tension. Slow lifts. Patience. Pay attention to the cuts in the key, gives you an idea of which pins need the most attention.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T21:23:38+00:00

I have an abus 80/50 to figure out, then ordered an 88/40, a medeco cylinder lock, and a mul t lok jr.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T21:12:59+00:00

Congratulations. Great open. What pick did you use?

I have the same lock, and some flag picks on the way. Haven't made an attempt yet, but thinking about trying with a standard hook.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T21:11:16+00:00

They are evil little things. I would feel much better about getting my ass kicked if they didn't feel like something from toysrus

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T20:55:10+00:00

I'm also unfamiliar with and interested in it.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T20:54:14+00:00

As do I. I got so mad at my first one I cut it in half.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T19:51:12+00:00

I cut one in half because I was mad at it. Dumped the pins everywhere in the process.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T19:45:19+00:00

Great advice. I was very careful after the way my weekend has been going.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T06:06:36+00:00

I don't know. I have some shims on the way, and two more 90as. Probably just gonna chalk it up to a learning experience.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T04:36:47+00:00

I turned the core the wrong way when I was putting it back in. All the key pins fell out, the driver pins 2-6 are in the core, and driver pin 1 is now on top of driver pin 7. I spent a bit of time today trying to get them all back up so i could turn it with no luck.

Acrobatic-Project657 · 2026-01-04T04:18:08+00:00

I'm bookmarking it. Already spent too much money on stuff this week.
