Need advice on a practice lock
Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2022 2:52 pm
I have a tri-circle 264 lock that i have picked many times. It opens inconsistently and i always struggle with the last pin. Today i found out that this lock have mushroom driver pin(s). I can pick this lock, but only because i know which pin might be the mushroom pin. There is no way that i could pick any other lock with mushroom driver pins in any reasonable time.
I have been thinking of getting a padlock or a core that i can pin myself and then dance around with mushroom pins, and perhaps also serrated pins. Standard pintumbler cores, no acrylics.
I do need some help with this.
Do you guys recommend any particular "set" that i can get off ebay? Any general advice?
Are key & driver pins generally interchangeable between locks?
