I have developed a method of gauging (decoding) the cut depths, after the lock has been picked. This is related to my method of generating keys to certain padlocks, including Master locks. It is sort of a "hybrid" impressioning/decoding, that was born out of this aging man's fading vision. I use it for generating keys for locks that have no codes, like Master, and other brand padlocks, file cabinet and mail box locks, and even a handful of door locks. I've been meaning to make a tutorial to share with the forum; but lack the videography equipment and skills.
Come on magician,you can't just leave me hanging; share man!
