A great series of posts again Femurat! You couldn't keep half the door with it? :p

Cool to work on prototypes to improve security. Always good if manufqcturers take that seriously. Anything else you could come up eith for prototype improvements?

If you like what's left of the door, I can ship it to the Netherlands

The locks test was many years ago. Sure I gave them many suggestions. They applied only some.

Haha, when you mentioned the door was cut in half, I didn't realize it was cut with bare hands. Maybe you better ship yourself some time and I'll hear more of the adventures

[femurat]

I was surprised too when I saw (past of see, not cut lol) the poor old door.



Day 251 of 366. Light rain and a four pins lock. Can I resist?

Cheers

You cannot resist that lock
The lock cannot resist you
That poor old door cannot resist anything
What a world we live in

[GWiens2001]

Don't resist that lock
It must be opened right now
Oh what fun we have

I missed your funny comments



Day 252 of 366. This lock made me struggle more than his relatives. I kept oversetting a pin and had to restart many times. More than I could count.

Good! That keeps it interesting. This weekend I bought some locks after quite some time. I got quite a few very new Mauer ** skg 6 pin locks, hoping for a challenge. Nope. Great manufacturing yes. Some spools in each but very easy to open. 2 gritty old Trelocks: horrible bitting and a nice pick. Very heavy tension was needed to open one of them. The core got stuck because of a dent in the body right at the end of the picking. It's not the easy ones that make this fun

[femurat]

Yes, it's not the easy ones, but sometimes we need one!



Day 253 of 366. This poor old ISEO served its purpose for many years. Now he can enjoy retirement... in my collection!

Cheers

Day 254 of 366. Another oldie.

I'm still amazed at the amount of locks you can open with this one pick. I can open a lot with a medium hook, but there are plenty bittings and keyways that I need a thin pick or deeper hook for somthing in the back.
I should try my home made thin medium pick again. The southord standard slimline is too thick for some locks and the great SSDev set doesn't have that medium profile... hmm something for tomorrow

Day 255 of 366.
