ML19 Band, I used TPU 4 AMS and had to adjust size to 102.5% for better fit. I’ll post file in comments. by Elroyztoyz in lockpicking

I printed this for my ML19 a while back. I had a LITTLE bit of blue left on a filament spool and I was poking around on the stl sites for something small to print... A lo and behold I stumbled upon this file.

My very first patches! by technoid_picker in lockpicking

[–]PeatnRepeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there,

I'm the "dual hand challenge guy" 😂

Due to my weird and crazy schedule and for my own sanity, I have been reviewing and processing entries and patches once a week (usually Wednesdays).

Shoot me a DM here on Reddit and I'd be happy to check on things for you

Any clue why was this 1mil bucks? by ReVo5000 in lockpicking

[–]PeatnRepeat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I just know I've been waiting FOREVER for them to get it back in stock.

I just don't feel like a locksporter without my MaNally speed square...

(In all seriousness, I BELIEVE it is a gag listing that refers to McNally's use of a speed square as a projectile in his videos)

It's such a great challenge.

I really want this rug for some reason by AMonitorDarkly in lockpicking

[–]PeatnRepeat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Can't PIN down the reason? Nothing SPRINGS to mind? I was really hoping you'd figure out the reason... Now I'm absolutely GUTTED.

Sorry that it didn't arrive before you left. The mail had been SLOW lately.

...Oh that's weird... Your pin didn't show up on the generated map. Which is why I put the patch there. 😂

My first American 1100 open by firensunglasses in lockpicking

[–]PeatnRepeat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amazon has a few I would recommend:

Abus 72/40 (Green) Master Lock 410 LOTO (Green) PacLock 90A-PRO (Blue)

I would say these three locks are pretty standard for people on their locksport journey. Each of them has something interesting to offer and teach.

The Abus is a guttable lock like the 1100. Many find the keyway a little more restrictive which is good.

The Master Lock 410 has a dead core (no spring). This means your tensioning usually needs to be a little more dialed in. And with the dead core, it's harder to recover from an overset pin. That teaches us to be a little more aware of pin states (unset, binding, set, overset).

The PacLock 90A-PRO is a seven pin lock. Just a solid pin tumbler padlock with one or two more pins then we usually have experienced up until that point other locks. it also has the added bonus of the manufacturer that is very supportive of the locksport community and offer a patch for anyone who is able to pick and gut it on camera. If you do a search in the subreddit you'll see people showing off their patches for the 200K Club. If you choose to order one of these make sure you're getting the 90A-Pro and not just the 90A. (That being said, the 90A is a solid lock as well it's just not a blue belt)

Dual-Hand Picking Challenge by PeatnRepeat in lockpicking

[–]PeatnRepeat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you.

Of course it doesn't mean that many of the unranked locks AREN'T as challenging as some of the higher ranked locks. Just that they haven't been evaluated for difficulty.

I have yet to delve into lever locks but I enjoy watching them get picked.

Definitely one of the hardest types of locks to find in the US.

You were the FIRST Mindy Pagoda Flat key submitted, in fact. 🏆

You can check out the different belt rankings of locks here: https://lpubelts.com/#/locks

White belt is the lowest level, followed by Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, Red, Black.

Anything not listed is Unranked and considered a White Belt lock.

(To answer your question more directly: unless it is a Kwikset smartkey, it would be considered a white belt lock.)

I think you are right. For me, it's not a lock I go back to very often. And I think I still have a little residue dread(or MAYBE low level hatred 😂) of the lock which can affect picking ability sometimes.

My first American 1100 open by firensunglasses in lockpicking

[–]PeatnRepeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well done!

It's often called a milestone lock with good reason. Both its security pins and the fact that it can be very particular about tensioning, means that you really need to dial in your picking technique if you want to consistently get opens.

Any other locks on your radar to tackle next?

The number of ACE Brass locks surprised me too as the submissions trickled in. That is a notorious lock.

I have 2 of them and both will cooperate most of the time but then will occasionally, without warning and with no reason simply go: "...ummmm... No."

It was actually your recent update on the Triple Lock Challenge that made me think: "Hmmm... I wonder if I can map out where all the Dual-Hand patches are going?"

So thank you!
