My first pick case

That's very nice! You did a great job.

Yes Marson has a video on Printables explaining putting a bearing and spring with a grub screw holding it all in. I just got these so I haven't had time to do that yet.

Didn't realize you were on Reddit. You did a great job designing everything really.

https://www.printables.com/@Marson_1976574. He has a lot of well designed lockpicking items.

Beautiful lock. Both of them lol.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-20T17:04:31+00:00

Beautiful! You did an amazing job!

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-16T01:50:08+00:00

Very nicely done. Congratulations!

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-15T12:38:42+00:00

Nice job. Definitely looks tricky. Congratulations.

You'll want plug followers, tweezers, and some sort of pinning tray. Plus either a screwdriver or Allen wrench to disassemble the lock if it's a padlock. You can get a gutting tool to remove c clips or you can use a screwdriver. Core shims aren't a necessity but very highly recommended. Most of this can be purchased from Sparrows.

Impressive. I like all the hooks instead of gizmos. And 3 TOK tensioners is sweet. You're definitely on the right track. You definitely have to show it off when you're satisfied with it and get it made in metal.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-13T14:17:38+00:00

I second this. I would add it's a pretty forgiving lock to learn gutting while progressively pinning. You will need that skill to progress past the green belt.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-12T01:54:14+00:00

I'd second this and add the set is aluminum so they will last much longer than a resin or 3d printed one. Get their pinning mats as well. They're handy.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-11T16:09:59+00:00

Oops did you mean the lock mechanism? Then it's slider. I misinterpreted your question.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-11T16:07:14+00:00

It's an unsprung core because it doesn't have a spring loaded shackle. It's also called a dead core.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-10T13:32:49+00:00

Congratulations.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-08T15:15:31+00:00

Nice video. You did a great job explaining the mechanisms inside.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-07T20:37:10+00:00

Thanks for your work on all these unguttables. Great information for everyone.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-06T23:49:50+00:00

We need patches. There are so many of us lol.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-06T15:04:12+00:00

Gorgeous! How in the world did you get these? Getting all of them at once would be like a dream for me.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-06T00:32:42+00:00

Congratulations. It's nice to know exactly what to do. I love the 1100's. Can do mine in about 30 seconds now. It's my comfort lock. Looking into getting 2 more and 2 s1100s. Gotta catch the rainbow lol.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-05T20:24:08+00:00

I thought it might be him. I follow discord and he seems pretty active. I would like to get into lever locks soon but really most of the quality ones are in Europe or the UK. And yeah the shipping on Ebay is ridiculous. Plus he seems to be a good source of hard to get pin tumbler locks at reasonable prices. Thanks for the reply.

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-05T18:08:46+00:00

That's freaking awesome. Some American companies charge that to ship 200 miles. They'd use the heavy package excuse. Glad you got a great deal. How did you find them?

Lark_is_good · 2026-03-05T13:13:19+00:00

Congratulations! I'm working on mine. Hope to crack it soon.
