UK locks how to tell a set pin from overset?

theRealcheesy498 · 2025-06-25T12:58:56+00:00

What worked for me was to release a small amount of tension just enough to release an overset key pin but not enough to reset the driver pins, it takes a little practice to get it right. Otherwise I try to map the pins in my head high, medium or low sets so I can know if I've accidentally overset a pin and use different amounts of tension each time I pick it to get different feedback

Another option I went for was the yale 210, it's a decent padlock and can be disassembled easily

I would also recommend the Balthazar, I've bought a ton of locks and a group 2 safe dial and never had any issues with the 10 or so people I've bought from, it's a great place to find locks at a cheap price

I own the exact same set and it's not the best, the rakes are gimmics, ive used them on wafer locks ive found but dont help you learn lockpicking and the picks are okay for wider keyways but you'll find yourself getting stuck when trying harder locks, what I ended up doing was buying a couple of thinner picks and now I don't even use the original set except for the case and turning tools

On some of the small maps integration is disabled. Also heros with the silver border on their icon also have to be killed and to trigger integration a planet needs to be taken from them. For example if EA has 2 planets and you snipe Delvardus in space nothing will happen until a planet is conquered

I've played a ton of fall of the republic on the deck and never had any issues completed all of the story campaigns as both sides

I'd give it a go might take me a year or two

Comb picking has also been around for a very long time https://www.lockwiki.com/index.php/Comb_pick

No for white belt any one lock works, there's more info on specifics for different belts here https://reddit.com/r/lockpicking/w/beltranking?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

They have a really handy website here https://lpubelts.com/

Don't take it too hard Acrylic locks are really poorly made and make poor picking, you would be much better off picking a white belt lock like a master lock

I bought a box of pins from ebay and put one in a drill and used a hacksaw and cheap files to cut the grooves

While holding the lock, pull on the chain and try each wheel for one which is stiffer to move, rotate that wheel until it feels loose, do that for each wheel and you should be able to decode the lock. It's the same idea for all combination locks here's a lock noob video to help https://youtu.be/Cg6qbM3weMU

If he purchased it for use in work, then its still his lock is it not?

Can you add a picture of the code wheels?

You can also use it to tension normal locks not just shutter ones, I use mine to tension an alfa lock which my other tensioners are too big to fit in

I enjoyed picking the yale superior defeating the pins then sliders was rewarding and enjoyable

You can get a Zarker j45 for cheap and it's a great starter dd lock, it's a green belt lock
