Got this one in my last package from Chris Capune. Surprisingly, this had a slew of master wafers. But, they were mostly used to bring the key to plump up the key pins to hit the shear line. Very interesting, with well made serrated spools. What a fun pick!

Jason likes to name his locks after cool substances, Like Tritium and Thorium. I had to get the one named HERPES. Picked and gutted for your pleasure.")

Once I completed the cleanup in the first of the twin Sargents, I saw the stark contrast between them. And, I wanted to show off the newly cleaned up one, with working key!")

As I noted in video 121, I managed to develop a technique for picking this tricky lock. Here, I describe my approach, and pick it for you.")

Had this one for a while. But, thought you folks might find the huge false sets to be interesting. I added my false-set-o-meter, so you can track the crazy feedback from the tensioner.")

Still working on the video for padlock shopping tips. But, meantime, I received a very seized up PTPK that I stripped, keyed and rebuild. I show and tell you about it in todays video.")

Happy #lotolocktuesday everyone! Found that my Tipene Teardrop from Law lock tools is a huge benefit for this (and other) LOTO locks. Made for a fast pick on this spool-heavy lock.")

We start off with a look at a new display I built for my lock collection. Then, I tackle a small Burg Wachter and a military Commando lock. They both are quick picks - but, only after you get a feel for them. Until then, the Commando can keep you going for a long time, with no results.")

From my Thumper package, were picking the Master No 15. This is nothing like its little brother the No 3. And, with the first pin set to a zero cut, it fights awful hard. And, it has a sweet spot for tension, which you have to find, if you want to get in.")
