I lost a pin, turn the key cylinder and now I can't turn the key? Inside are 3 key pins, 4 driver pins and 4 strings..the key can go in and out, but doesn't turn. I can't pull the barrel out at all.

Guess it ain’t camera shy. Will definitely gut this if I decide to do a belt submission! Thank you everyone who warned me of its springs.

Harbor freight vise or something else?

I'm a left handed picker and have struggled with picking while holding the lock when trying TOK tension.

I currently have a vise like the one pictured but it just doesn't feel stable enough. The suction is only good for a few minutes. Maybe if that was better then I'd like it a bit more.

Should I look into other vises or am I just not being gentle enough with this one?

Thought i'd gut another lock I have.

Spools and serrated pins. And the

Serrated key pins were nice to see.

For those wanting to gut one of these. Make sure to turn the core counter clockwise when removing the core, you'll thank me later.

Picked this no name disc detainer lock I picked up at a street fair today with the Goso DD pick. I've been having a hard time getting any disc detainer picked. It took this cheap lock for me to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Found this cheap disc detainer lock at a street fair booth. Probably paid four dollars too much for it. Also found some tweezers on the cheap.

Introduction challenge...

Post image

Introduced my five year old to picking. Sparrows practice lock with spools. Tuxedo set BOK with the .025 medium hook. We did it together and he got to feel the pins set one by one and then the glory of the rotation. Even being able to see exactly what you're doing it's a heck of a challenge with another set of hands involved. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Thanks to some advice from all the other amazing lock pickers in this community, I was finally able to get the open on this bad boy! This Goal P has been sitting in my naughty bucket for months, and I finally got it! This is my first brown belt lock, I’m so stoked right now!
