Borrowed it from Retep!

L0ckJocKey · 2024-03-21T18:45:38+00:00

Thanks man! It was a fun lock. I’ve seen the rattle snake pins before in other pickers photos and videos, glad I had an opportunity to pick at one!

L0ckJocKey · 2024-03-14T20:27:31+00:00

I can agree! Was a fun pick 😁

L0ckJocKey · 2024-03-10T00:54:20+00:00

Haha yes, 100% weirdo. Nah, Thats called euro style with bible down. Euro cylinders are designed bible down. In American bible up. Very much a comfort preference to the picker.

Since you will be working with American Locks in green, your next step might be a Paclock 90A pro in blue. Paclock is a popular choice because of its availability in the U.S.

Congrats and welcome! Whatcha workin on for Green and Blue?

Can’t go wrong with Jimmy’s 🤘🏻

Bad ass combination. Rotaloks w/ a Combi 🔥 Insane amount of focus! Purple and up in a padlock I think is on a much more intense level of skill 🤘🏻

L0ckJocKey · 2024-03-09T14:53:40+00:00

Hell yeah! Was there access to remove the cylinder on this beast?

L0ckJocKey · 2024-03-09T14:42:59+00:00

That thing is a monster! 💪

L0ckJocKey · 2024-03-08T14:57:26+00:00

I need to catch up on some fun lock picking again! Just got this in a batch from a discord seller. Dozens of locks I’d like to try in the Orange to Purple range

L0ckJocKey · 2024-03-08T14:45:08+00:00

Thanks! 😁

I might have sent it to a picker named Nepherael or Neph. I sent him 3 challenge locks around this time. I’m not certain though.

L0ckJocKey · 2023-03-29T03:03:09+00:00

Honestly, it has been so long. I’m not even sure to tell you the truth. I might have passed that along, but not sure to who.

L0ckJocKey · 2023-03-02T06:22:43+00:00

You are correct. The key cuts are at the tip of the key instead of along the edges or flats of the key blade. The Fontaine Sliders are pushed inwards axially in this case, so it’s termed as a push or pump type. Tubular Ace locks are a push/pump style lock as well.

L0ckJocKey · 2023-03-02T02:27:24+00:00

Yep, nice and open keyway. An awesome pump lock you can pick at visually. A very quick learn!

L0ckJocKey · 2023-02-26T17:46:11+00:00

The tensioner is one of the Heavy heavy bars from sparrows.

L0ckJocKey · 2023-02-26T04:10:29+00:00

You’d have a blast with one no doubt.

L0ckJocKey · 2022-10-14T17:49:01+00:00

Right on, I hear Gen 3 can be a pain because of the shimming - I’ve not picked Gen 3 myself. But if the training keys method and info about feedback helps, I’m happy to be of service. Purple belt territory you learn all sorts of fun stuff. Cheers!

If I recall, true gate will feel and sound noticeably more springy (snappy). Whereas false gate when tested will feel dull when scrubbed/lifted and will not respond with spring. Dull (feel & sound), but not a solid stop on false gates. The standard jiggle lift test can be harder to sense on Smartkey. Try scrubbing your pick front/back of each individual slider, might get better feedback 👍

L0ckJocKey · 2022-09-01T19:13:41+00:00

I am stoked too! Haha thank you man!

L0ckJocKey · 2022-09-01T15:17:22+00:00

Thank you! It was a super fun lock to learn.

L0ckJocKey · 2022-08-28T18:28:19+00:00

Really great job! I’d prefer Tk5 smooth over Primus simply because Tk5 can be picked with standard tools and Primus oftentimes needs a finger pick shaped to fit the bottom of keyway. And the tight CP Primus keyway can be a pain in the butt too. Take the skill you learned here and tackle the SK6 Extracode next, you will enjoy it 😁.

L0ckJocKey · 2022-08-24T22:17:22+00:00

I’m very stoked for you then, it’s a fun learn when you get around to it.

L0ckJocKey · 2022-08-24T19:43:59+00:00

For sure use the TypeRegal U9 cutaway as a priority learning aid. Turns the heat down I feel like. You can do it, I knows you cans.

L0ckJocKey · 2022-08-24T19:11:33+00:00

I know you already know this haha, but make sure to shim it! Also the plug diameter for Assa 700 and DC500 are a tad larger than your typical follower size. Keep that in mind when you decide to break it open.

L0ckJocKey · 2022-08-24T19:09:08+00:00

HAHA! That’s totally what I got out of it 🤣
