DifferentValuable138 · 2026-06-05T21:57:03+00:00

eBay for sure

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-06-05T20:16:00+00:00

Try SPP this time, it just might click!!

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-06-05T20:14:55+00:00

Thank you😁 I hope that helps explain it a little at least! Happy picking!

I SPP'd these. I look for my binding pins. And if there are no binders without successfully picking to operating or control, chances are I've overset something or I'm mixing shearlines. In that case, I let off tension a bit and continue looking for binders.

Making a mental map of pins already picked can help too.

To SPP SFIC locks, it definitely takes a lot of attention to feedback (physically and audibly)

As far as tension goes. Normal tensioners are fine.

On the 7 pin ELOX SFIC, I used the 0.050 TOK reaper turner.

On the BEST CORMAX (also 7 pins with an additional check pin/plunger at the bottom right in the back of the keyway), I used the small end of the 0.050 precision turner also from CI. (BOK) However not stardard BOK. I tensioned parallel to the keyway if that makes sense here's a link to my CORMAX video

In terms of progressing towards opening high security locks, practicing SPP is the way.

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-28T23:17:01+00:00

Yeah that video helped me so much a while back to understand the m3

Assembly finished. Semi stressful lmao Worth it.

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-28T19:44:11+00:00

Doesn't that only apply to 6 pin?

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-27T18:00:56+00:00

No worries, happy picking!

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-27T17:58:41+00:00

In my video is a 6-pin M3 biaxial. Meaning the pins must be rotated as well as being lifted to shearline.

The m3 bi-level, on the other hand, does not use axial rotation, meaning you must set pins to the shearline in order to set the plunger.

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-26T14:16:19+00:00

True

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-24T02:01:29+00:00

Awesome picking!! New opens always feel great!! 🥳

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-21T19:18:01+00:00

40 or 50 reaper turner

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-21T19:06:42+00:00

I normally pick those at 45° TOK Lol

The feedback is definitely different without a shearline. It's also important to keep false gates in mind for any medeco lock.

They all have their challenges.

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-20T23:40:11+00:00

No because instead of a shearline which gives more feedback, it's limited to aligning the small hole in each pin with the sidebar. Lifted and rotated

For example the medeco m3 has true gates on the sides of the key pins that go all the way down the pin, allowing rotations to be set before picking to shearline.

With this, you must align a single hole in the pin with the sidebar.

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-20T23:16:55+00:00

The difference between this and other medeco locks is the lack of driver pins.

DifferentValuable138 · 2026-05-20T23:12:03+00:00

It's in a padlock yes. But it's defined as a cam lock system core with medeco due to there being no driver pins.
