It can be amazing what some lube will do. Congrats on slaying that beast!

Yesterday in the chat someone suggested Tri-Flow, which I just happened to have. Literally 10 seconds later...

I like HURD's. Nice pickin'!

p.s. I also like Tri-Flow

One more down. This is the first lock I've picked that has a spring loaded core (is there a correct name for that?). Of course, being a clone of the American 1100 series, it's full of serrated and serrated/spool pins. The spring tension really made finding that last spool a challenge, but I finally won! Gutted pix soon.

Used a Peterson 0.018 Gem. Check out the height of that 5th pin compared to the 4th--the extra lift of the Gem really came in handy there.

TWSS!
That lock looks familiar. The gray cable tie is one of my trademarks!

I'm interested to see. Some American locks have some rather shallow serrations... too shallow.
A shame really because they'd be so much more effective. Hope to see deeper ones in this clone.

Hmmm... seems like I've seen a FEW of those gray ties. lol

A true slaying, at least for me. This is the first Medeco I picked. I was surprised at how huge Medeco pins are. Plus notice those 2 security spools or whatever they are.

I have put this lock far away as I felt I wasnt any where near ready to even attempt it but guess not. Now I got the Medeco fever except the only other one I own is on my front door and we all know the golden rules

Congrats PG! That's worth being proud of.

Well done! Many people say that Classic is more difficult to pick than Biaxial or M3.

Posted: **Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:05 am**

Thanks guys, Im now doubting not picking up those Medeco's Flywheel was selling.
Very very curious to try or even just play with an M3 or Biaxial as I don't even know the internal differences

. Still a newbie

I may have an extra Biaxial I can send you. I will look over the weekend.

Got these for one of the kids Christmas presents. Good practice locks for them to gain confidence.

Okay, I know that I am answering your post here waaaay after yours. However, I didn't see anyone after this post having mentioned this to you. The biaxial is actually easier to pick than the classic you'll be pleased to know. And, well, the m3 is just a biaxial with the slider, which is trivial to defeat. So, keep your chin up, and take some of these suckers on and kick their little brass and steel asses!
