On a recommendation from one of the #lockpickinglawyer YouTube videos, I asked Santa for a copy of "High-Security Mechanical #Locks: An Encyclopedic Reference" by Graham Pulford. Lo, and Behold! What do I find under the tree this morning?
I can hardly put it down.

#39c3 Kann man eigentlich #lockpicking machen, wenn man nur mit einer Hand Feinmotorik kann und die andere eher nur was festklemmen oder so kann?

Ich würds immer gern probieren, hab aber a bisserl Angst den Betrieb aufzuhalten. Hat da wer Erfahrungen?

Christmas Eve 14:12.

And the #Vingcard Reader doesn't let you into the floor to your apartment.

Already went picking up 2 more cards but still no success.

Does someone in the Fediverse know what the following behavior means?

- You present the card to the reader
- no matter how long you present it, no reaction
- shortly after you removed the card in question the light on the reader flashed yellow

The card is working on the other readers (e.g. main entrance, laundry floor, room) on the premise and also worked throughout the last days on this particular reader.

Had a similar occurrence on that premise in the past.

#TIL I don't have enough locks.

I counted 231, but 🤷🏼‍♀️, who knows if I missed any.

Update: I found a whole other box of locks, so add ~25 more.

*I gave away like a hundred when I moved several years ago—this is what I have now.

A large card table, covered in two white-ish towels, with every square inch packed with locks. The right ⅔ is all love locks of various shapes, sizes, and colors—many decorated with initials and designs. The left ⅓ is assorted locks from my personal collection, from tiny padlocks, to high-security locks, to handcuffs and deadbolts. There are around 200-250 locks visible.

"Why Pick Yale Locks?"

"Because it's there."

"Why Pick On Yale Locks?"

"You know why."

#LockPicking

"Choose" I think the word you were looking for there was "choose."

#lockPicking

An add on a locksmith site suggests buying a "yale" lock but their headline is "Why Pick Yale Locks" rather than "Why choose yale locks," Kind of suggests a whole different activity.

Additional text is just marketing yadda yadda below that headline.

At my school students don't have personal lockers (unless there's a very good reason they need one). Instead, students can bring their own padlock and use one of the available lockers for that day only.

Once in a while we do a clearing out and cut those locks that are not removed at a certain date and time.

I found a box of those cut locks in the basement today, so once I start getting somewhere with my #lockpicking skills I have plenty of training material...

I've been practising my #lockpicking on and of for the past week.

In my drawers I found what seems like three levels of lockpicking and have been working on the easy one.

Managed to rake it open very easily day one, but actual picking took longer.

Yesterday I finally got it open and can fairly reliably get it open now.

I'm currently struggling with fine tuning the pressure I need on the turning tool, but I can really see the progress I'm making.

So much fun!

Every time I pick a lock in #Fallout4 I find myself missing #Starfield

Which is funny because the specific type of logic puzzle chosen for vanilla-Starfield’s digipicks is one of the few which simultaneously I am quite good at yet hate so much I have to actively avoid picking locks in that game

The #lockpicking practitioner's nightmare 😱

Haven't picked up any new skills in a while and thought it might be time to give #lockpicking a go. I've been familiar with the theory behind picking locks for many years, but never got around to it.

Well... Maybe I've been inspired by @alice putting the occasional picked lock and picking kits in my feed, but now I have a brand new set of picks and a couple of old locks to practice with this weekend. Gonna be fun!

Fun timing with them also just now starting a series of lockpicking lessons...

If you're not doing #lockpicking to commit crimes, you're missing half the thrill.

It's so satisfying to get that last click and immediate change in tension when #lockpicking. Been having a lot fun with the Red Team Tools learner's kit: https://www.redteamtools.com/learn-about-lockpicking-kit/

Fun (?!) fact, a common grip for holding a lockpick is sometimes called the "dentist grip", because it's similar to how dentists hold their tools #lockpicking #locksport

Galactica ❤️ This show still whoops the llama's ass. Great stuff to have on in the background when doing some #lockpicking, of yet another bonkers French lock, and with a very appropriate model number: Fichet 666 😁 It's a fairly cursed lock and some of them can be pretty challenging to pick
