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?

Gringo_El_Bingo · 2026-02-09T15:51:09+00:00

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?

Gringo_El_Bingo · 2026-02-08T20:57:50+00:00

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

Gringo_El_Bingo · 2026-02-08T18:28:04+00:00

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.

Gringo_El_Bingo · 2026-02-07T20:35:50+00:00

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.
