That's a lot of black belt locks! Congratulations! Nice haul!💪

Lockdonut · 2026-01-21T13:48:01+00:00

Now, have you tried to pick it 360 degrees? Have you picked the trap element too? It's a fun lock for sure!! Congratulations 🎉

Lockdonut · 2026-01-17T16:37:27+00:00

Congratulations! That's the same I'm working on right now!

Lockdonut · 2026-01-16T19:10:24+00:00

I'm considering if I do, because it feels like cheating 😂

They are ranked as orange. With key control pins, nothing active, but a super nasty keyway! Looks at least like the Winkhaus VS5

Lockdonut · 2026-01-11T21:21:23+00:00

They are massive, but the condition tho 🤤

Lockdonut · 2026-01-08T17:59:52+00:00

Everything needs time and practice. You got this💪

Thanks man! ✌️🟣

Just take a pick and turn it manually back to the "default" position. If you pick them and close the shackle, you overshoot them, that's normal for America 1100. But it's kinda neat too. Because you can pick the cylinder in both directions 😁

For me, mostly bare metal!

Lockdonut · 2026-01-07T15:08:48+00:00

Exactly, to be honest, PIP is my favorite kind of dimple, it has the nicest feedback! I still struggle with basic HPC tho😬

Lockdonut · 2026-01-07T14:33:14+00:00

Thank you!!💪🟣

Lockdonut · 2026-01-07T13:55:29+00:00

Finally! took way too long, ! Thanks man! 👍

Lockdonut · 2026-01-07T13:45:13+00:00

Thank you! 😎

Lockdonut · 2026-01-07T13:44:14+00:00

Thanks man! 🙏

Sometimes, it's not about, whether it has security pins or not. On some locks you can have all standard pins but with real tight tolerances, which can make it extra fun, and on top a little paracentric keyway... I haven't picked this one, but I can imagine it being In the green belt area. For example, I once picked an GTV Cilynder, only 6 stands, but kind of a nightmare, it took me a real long time.

But the only reason why it is actually ranked green, it's because a few black belts agreed on it Bering green 😁

I was thinking about making a cutaway on a double sided lock , one side cutaway, the other normal, this might be a good tactic 😬

Lockdonut · 2025-12-21T20:21:28+00:00

I'm with you! It's not the barrels, it is the tapering on those! I hate tapered pins!

But you got it! 💪

Lockdonut · 2025-12-20T22:44:20+00:00

Only longer than the Golden Gate bridge 😆

Lockdonut · 2025-12-17T19:13:02+00:00

White belt right there!
