Got a yale lock open, tried another one but didn't get in. Definitely an aul knack to it.

DANNY2014 · 26-05-2017 05:38PM

Received it today... No spiders...

milltown · 26-05-2017 07:36PM

Got mine today.
As an added incentive, the supplied keys don't open the lock.
Those Chinese lads think of everything!

DANNY2014 · 27-05-2017 08:40PM

Just opened a lock that was without a key for three years and a sense of accomplishment is overwhelming... It's the main reason I got the kit and was all I was thinking of since april... Broke one of the picks though...

Thanks op...

Mine arrived last week and I've managed to open the lock on the shed and the side gate much to my wifes amusement! Not sure what all the different picks do yet

robyntmorton · 29-05-2017 10:18AM

Guys, I'm going to need you all to PM me your names and addresses.

Don't worry, it's for nothing sinister. I just need to know where to not leave anything locked up :pac:

StillThinking · 29-05-2017 10:34AM

Mine arrived today, husband birthday pressie only a week or so late he'll be delighted!

Redhairedguy · 29-05-2017 10:48AM

Always wanted one of these! Thanks for the share!

sunny2004 · 29-05-2017 12:01PM

Bought it as a gift, anyone got a link to a tutorial video for this ?

take everything · 29-05-2017 12:43PM

Got one of these before after watching Tim Ferriss on Youtube.
Threw it out because for the life of me i couldn't manage it on real locks. Or didn't have the patience.
Anyway ordered it again.
Ha!

DANNY2014 · 29-05-2017 02:28PM

How to pick a lock basics on the old youtube has 5.2million views and gives a few different ways of playing with your new toys...
I find raking is handy for me... Have opened 2 padlocks this way...
Front door was a no go for me and I'm happy with that as I'd like to think now billy down the road with his cheap Chinese lock picking kit ain't gonna be able to break into my house and steal my lock picking kit...

dr.kenneth noisewater · 29-05-2017 07:19PM

Mine finally arrived today. Thanks OP

mad m · 29-05-2017 10:15PM

Showed this to a locks smith today as he comes into job from time to time. He couldn't believe the price at 8 euro. He said mine was better than his set

Zimmerframe · 29-05-2017 11:54PM

Mine arrived today too, Cheers OP.

ShooterSF · 30-05-2017 12:11AM

Reading this guide. I find all I need to do with the practice lock is lift the pin furthest inside and it opens. Still nice to see how it works but might look for something better to practice on...

I'm still waiting also.
Ordered on April 12th and received shipping confirmation on April 22nd.

Mine arrived on May 31st, but only got a chance to mess around with it now. The transparent lock was very easy. I managed to open it using the single pin, raking and city raking methods.

I spent about ten minutes trying the front door... unsuccessfully... which I suppose is a good thing!

One of the golden rules of hobby picking is that you shouldn't mess with "live" locks. The pins can be easily damaged by rough use of the tools.

Find old locks to play with. Go to one of those places where padlocks are attached to bridges in a show of love (?), the local council will usually thank you. If you see an old hall door, check if the lock is still in place. If it is, remove it and practice on it. Ask the local builders to keep old locks for you. Loads of ways to get practice locks.

That's definitely good advice. I fecked up a a backdoor lock practicing:o

Not too put out by it though as it showed up the inadequacies of the current lock in the door which needs changing for that reason anyway.

I managed to put the cam out of kilter by rotating one side of the lock while the other stayed static which means I now can't get the key out of the door without locking it first. Doesn't sound like a problem until you want to take the key out of the inside to step outside to lock the door from the outside!

It can be sorted pretty easily by removing the barrel and re aligning the cam to the right position with some jiggery pokery but to be honest I've decided to fit a newer euro lock instead which is bump/pick;)/drill proof.

Mine arrived this morning and I'm a pro already. I was on a call earlier and ended up picking it without looking and now can do it at will blindfold in seconds. I'm shocked at how easy it is. I've got some spare eurolock barrels to play with next. Speaking of which, if anyone is looking at new locks, I got a set of Avocet ABS MK3 Keyed alike for front and back doors from here:

1/3 cheaper than the Irish distributors via Parcel Motel.

Don't be fooled. The transparent lock is a breeze.

For anyone that has done similar, these tools are to help extracting broken keys/picks inside the locks.
