How "high security" are we talking?

Re: HAVE YOU SUCCEEDED ?

I started with a master #3 and then a #140. From thee i picked a number of cheap padlocks. Once i got some advice on how to pick security pins I picked a Cisa 50mm then 2 Cisa 40mm. I purchased a master #530 and then a abus 65/50. Then i picked all those locks about 100 more times :D
I have now managed to pick open a Medeco biaxle and most recently a classic abloy. I find my learning curve has slowed quite a bit due primarily to the increased cost of the locks I want to pick!

I think by "high-security" he means anything without a standard pin-tumbler \ wafer mechanism.

Re: HAVE YOU SUCCEEDED ?

I'm very much an amateur , most of my locks are basic and i
just picked a mushroom pinned lock after trying on and off
for 4 months !
I now have an STA-LOK which still eludes me and my 2
disc locks (1 of which i opened once but never since)
so 3 that are still too good for me , not counting my
lever locks so; NO I HAVEN'T !
But i'm getting better (woohoo)
Open Sez Me !
