Happy 2020! A lock a day keeps the doctor away

Edocdab, thanks for asking. I still can't see the bottom of the barrel.

Day 123 of 366. In the evening, going towards midnight, when I start picking and have little time left, it's stressful. After a few minutes, if the lock doesn't open, I get an easier one so I'm sure I can pick it open in time.

Completely within the rules of your own challenge!

[femurat]

Yes, I make the rules



Day 124 of 366. It's a cutaway but I didn't look at the pins.

Day 125 of 366. Sometimes picking the lock is way faster than taking the picture.

Day 126 of 366. This small padlock has a couple security pins.

PS Third day in a row I can't reach the forum in the evening. I got a mysql error and then a connection error. I've tried both with my phone and with the home wifi so I doubt it's an error on my side. Then in the morning it just works fine.

Day 128 of 366. Good old Diskus round padlock.

Same mysql error for me. That was on the forum side. Glad we're back online again. In my tiny lock collection I have a small yale padlock with spools, based on the feedback. Not hard to open but a fun pick.

[femurat]

Yale are always fun!

Day 131 of 366. Old warded lock. The spring is so strong it bent my wire.

Cheers

[edocdab]

That might defeat paperclips

That might defeat paperclips

I was thinking about it after I made the post. Maybe my wire was a bit too long. That could have been why it got bent in the process. I'll try and bend a paperclip a little shorter and let you know if it can do the trick.

Day 132 of 366. This is the lock I picked yesterday morning before work. I thought I would have picked something else in the evening but I didn't. I was so tired I even forgot to take a picture of it. Here it is.

Cheers
