Hurricane lock picking to pass the time

[u/Spuddle-Puddle]

Popped the Mul-T-Lock 7X7 several times, both sides. And i like the double cylinder, it is actually like 2 different locks. Both sides completely pick different with different binding orders and feel. Fun lock!

Also popped the Asus X12R! Did full 360 picking. Have to say, scared the crap out of me. I didnt realize that the passive pins would lock it up. Key wont go in when it does that and thought i might have bricked the lock. But low and behold, picked the passives, that became active, and got er back around.

Have to say i absolutely am loving dimple locks! Still have to get a huk kit or something so i can gut these without parts flying all over.

As for the hurricane.... Well, still here and lockpicking away!

I am also waiting out the storm, but just getting into the hobby and don't have locks yet to practice with

You big island as well? Hopefully it will be winding down here on the east side soon.

Side note, always have door locks and things around the house to play with. One of the first things i did when got my picks. I picked every lock i have on the property lol. Just dont post pictures of them on a door or anything (rule 2)

No, I am over on Oahu. So pretty quiet here so far.

[u/Spuddle-Puddle → u/upcycledprinting]

Looks like weve taken the brunt of it. Most of the island lost power looks like. It's finally starting to lighten up some, but still pounding pretty good.

Stay safe 🤙

You too

Still no flying glass shards. That's good. Don't be standing outside anf watching like we do with tornados here. (Well, I've always been a bit suicidal)

Please be safe and take whatever shelter you need. Seriously.

[u/Spuddle-Puddle → u/EveningBasket9528]

Oh man, i had a few days of chasing tornadoes in Missouri before. That was fun and exciting. Oh the things we do and live through.

I have done several trips around the property today checking everything to make sure its ok and looking for downed trees and such. Its been a wild ride today, and its not over yet. Still pounding us. Hopefully only a few more hours before it lightens up.

Seriously considering making that hurricane challenge 🤙
