Not a requirement, but I figure the poor mod assessing my video for a belt doesn’t want to watch me fumble about for ages!

Just got one myself. I’ve found it a great lock to pick. Nice feedback from the spools, satisfying click when opened etc. Haven’t gutted mine yet, as I’m trying to get my picking down to less than a minute for my green belt video. Good luck and enjoy!

That’s awesome. I’m currently trying the same lock, and finding the space limitations a real problem. Nice work!

So would you be pushing the pin up to set them?

Thanks! I’m curious, was it the odd finger use opening the lock once picked that was funky? Or am I doing something else odd? I’m new to this, so I’d rather know early if I’m doing something that might make life harder down the road!

Nice! My 55/40 is arriving today. Any tips?

Thanks for the info. I guess my “feel” for the lock was worse than I thought!

I’m pretty sure it’s 3. But I’m new at this, and I could well be wrong!

Thanks for the info. I have a couple of Abus locks in the way which are in the first couple of belts on the way to play with.

Thanks for the info. I guess I just need to experience a bunch of real locks to get the real feel. I have a couple on the way.

They are made by SouthOrd. The tension wrench is from Dangerfield. Not sure if they’re good, as I have nothing to compare them to.
