over a short period of time i have been able to pick the brinks maximum security shrouded. it's the only challenging and fun lock in my collection. but i want to expand my grounds. i need to try something more challenging. maybe something with a sidebar? but i don't have any experience with sidebars...i will try to pick it though

try picking a medeco biaxial. if you think you are ready to try a bilock as you said in your other post, then you should be ready to try a medeco biaxial.

i wouldn't mind trying it. but it's expensive. i guess i can try. i'll save up then. i'll get it sooner or later eh?

try ebay. and make sure you get one with a key... that makes it a little easier... it will be like a map...
i learned on one without a key and it was a lot more difficult than one with a key...

they accept money orders. that would be cutting out the middle man.
just bid on it and then if you win, go down to walmart or somewhere and get a money order. ;)
