@sudoscoobs13737 жыл бұрын
Well, you would have to pick the other pins first, otherwise you couldn't turn the core to break the stuck glass pin. And with the core being jammed because of the glass pin, it would be difficult to know when the rest of the pins are set. If you were able to pick the other pins, then yeah, I can see what you mean. Hmm. Now you got me thinking about the how to best use this technology. Is there a way to design a pin that, when broken, completely jams the cylinder, but not so fragile that it can be forced to break. Perhaps a pin made of a metal part, and a fragile glass part, where, if the glass breaks during picking, the pin can no longer reach the shear line? I wonder how one could create such a monster.

Glass key pins with metal drivers would be better than glass+glass, right? Break the glass, and the driver falls in. Shape it right and it would be a pain in the rear to work with again.

If you are interested in picking up lockpick sounds, consider playing around with a piezo microphone that you can stick to the lock itself. It picks up vibrations through conduction. They are used on guitars (and other instruments) to pickup sound. If you run this mic as it's own recording you can overlay it with your other audio track. You just need a way to synchronize the feeds. A nice sharp snap sound can help with lining up the audio. This method might require some post processing with something like Audacity.

(I think that hole is for disabling a master/contractor key by catching a bearing) I replaced that brass core with two new ones ordered from lockitt.com for $9.99 a piece. LOL. Actually the funniest part is I included the shim with an 83AL/45 challenge lock I sent to Pete Restall. I warned him of that small pin hole and sent him pictures even so that he wouldn't get the T pin stuck. Two weeks later, I made the exact mistake I warned him could potentially happen.

There seems to be lots of confusion about glass used in safes so I'll respond to this comment at random. The glass anti-drill plate does not jam any part of the mechanism in a safe. Large steel rods propelled by heavy springs are released when the glass is broken. The glass merely moves out of the way so that stronger materials can engage and "jam the lock."

I'd say that glass pin in combination with the threading means that the glass pin would eventually grind itself down faster than metal does. This means the lock has to be changed every so often, or else the glass pin will shatter (or grind itself down completely) and you'd be S.O.L. trying to unlock it even with the key. The glass pin didn't present any anti-pick challenges, so it must serve another purpose. That's just speculation on my part though. I have never seen any locks with "forced expiration" devices inside.

My 2 cents... I would suggest starting out in your hand. I seem to get more feedback that way. However, with locks with strong core tension such as this one, (American 1100 series), the vise is the way to go, (my hand tends to cramp). Again, my 2 cents but whatever works for you.
@VideoDotCam7 жыл бұрын
Your cramp remark reminded me, it also depends on what kind of tension tool you use. Using top of the keyway in your hand is pretty awkward unless you put a bend in it, while bottom of the keyway is easier to use without a vise (unless you are left handed).
