1105's and the Brinks shrouded,

I had three differently keyed 1105's that I could rake to get the false set and then SPP. Of course it took me several hours each day, for several days to get my technique.

Feeling pretty proud, I figured I had become and 1105 killer. WRONG.

I have never been able to pick another 1105 to save my life.

And the Brinks shrouded? That's a stinker for me. I can get the false set no problem but I still can't go past it. It's like I have some kind of mental block. :x

As far as cylinders - I'm working on a Corbin right now that won't give it up. :cry:

My hardest pick to date, that I have actually opened, was a 40mm brass brinks. The hardest I've yet to get is a list about 10 locks long. :P

I've got an adjustable shackle 50mm brinks, a big ass Yale, etc.

I'd say the lock I've found hardest, that actually gave me a good bit of fun is my Brinks shrouded. I love that baby. It's not super easy, and it still gives me a challenge, but once you get it to false set it's just a great ballgame.

Lol, yeah! For me, I set the first two pins, then the third needs to be set, but when I go to set it, the first two unset. It gets my testies in a bunch!
