The Locxis is the poor cousin to the Mul-T-Lock Interactive. It has two interactive chambers...but that doesn't help its security much. I would not buy this lock, you should buy the MTL Interactive instead. Part 2 will be a tutorial on how to pick this lock - it's an easy lock to beat.

First pick of this interesting Chinese lock, as far as I know. Its a six pin in pin, (of which two outers are set by active elements on the key) plus a four slider sidebar. A quick look at the key will reveal that its an attempt at cloning the Mul-T-Lock MT5+ - more homage than copy really - but with much poorer manufacturing tolerances and overall poorer quality. Still, its the best Chinese lock Ive seen in a while and in my view they got it half right. Its also sometimes known as a Five Colours Lock but is considerably different to other locks of this name from the same manufacturer.")

A truly huge custodial lock picked and briefly discussed. Ive got another two of these and will do some more in depth tutorials on the master ring later. If anyone has key blanks for these...Im buying.")

This is a truly excellent addition to the Sparrows Progressive Lock kit, and its well worth the money. Buy pinning tweezers and shims while youre at it, theyre cheap and they make all the difference.

Part two of our look at the Millenco Magnum. Not a great lock to have on your door but an absolutely excellent training lock for beginners to learn picking sidebars and dimples.

We review the Assa Abloy Lockwood 356S63. Short version: Its a damned good padlock and easily adequate for most outdoor commercial applications in New Zealand and Australia. Buy it from a locksmith, not a hardware place - your locksmith can modify this lock further to increase the security or otherwise better fit your requirements.")

The Assa 700 series is a conventional seven pin lock designed in 1948. It punches waaaaaay above its weight and rates a Reddit Black Belt - and I can see why. Three different security pin types (tapered, gins, and Christmas tree spools) plus incredible manufacturing tolerances make this deceptively simple lock a massive challenge to open.
I LOVE this lock, its everything that good design should be.")
