Lock picking

Oh, i don't know?

Honestly i have just been watching videos for the last few years on and off. I don't even own a set of lock pics yet. They show up on Monday.

I think with that double rake, single half diamond it will pop right open.

Then drive out all the pins with brass drifts, map all the parts, clean, measure and reassemble.

Its scary how simple locks are. What we see as a complex and trustworthy lock is really nothing more that a slight delay to someone who understands them.

It reminds me of my dad telling me. "A lock only keeps a honest man honest."

If you would like i would be very happy to try and open your lock, map the pins and give you the depth of the cuts.

I would in no way would ever ask for money as one, Im not sure i could even open it and two, it would be very fun to try.

It's a toss up???/ Either I use money to buy the lock picks and (plus shipping) Or.... use my money to ship the lock to you (with return shipping included)??? I have lost much of my patience over the years even though I still love a challenge. Years ago I tried to knock out the brass/bronze pins....they wouldn't budge. I'm a machinist so I know what I'm doing when it comes to that kind of stuff. I really could knock the hell out of them but I didn't want to bust the lock and ruin it's beauty (patina). With all that said, and if you don't mind, I think i rather have you take a "crack" at it. You can tell me what the key should look like (hopefully) and I'll make the key but give you all the credit. I would love to be able to open the lock and show it off!!
