I've picked several 410's and some have opened real easy and some like this just make you really work for the open. When your tension wrench slipped down I thought "It's the old tension wrench slip which is shortly followed by an open". Not quite but chin to watch you work your way through this lock. 🙂👍
I think I’ve got 5 or 6, and 3 opened up for me and the others have been a real pain. I love the challenge and finesse and fine touch that these locks require. And yes - the movement of the wrench does sometimes immediately precede the open - unfortunately not in this case. Cheers Roy!
Great job on that! I haven't had a go at one of these myself yet but from what i've seen they can be a beastly pick! Again, very well done and thanks for sharing this! This lock is on my future food for thought list!
Thanks! I’d recommend getting three if you’re getting one as there is a lot of variety in them. None of the ones I’ve worked on have been super easy, but some have really been challenging (like this one)
@PickingPrincipals That's great advice! I might just do that! I like that principle for locks in general, having a few of the same, gives a wider view of that lock overall! I don't care for keyed-alike sets unless giving them away. Thanks again!
I agree - keyed alike aren’t so great except to demonstrate the effect that the machining / tolerances can have on picking and binding order. Cool, but not as fun as completely different locks.
Thanks Jeff. I think I need to find a better pick for this style of lock. I’d love an .018 rounded tip medium hook I think. My first open of this lock was not quite so calm 😉

That was a brutal battle! But tenacity often wins out-nice job! And to get it with such a calm, "there we go." Nice!
