Enjoyed that- some of those have very low levers, sitting on the curtain, and tend to be tricky to get a clear run under.

Yeah that’s right mate, so when you have difficulty getting a clear run in those situations I’d use a prelifter or the decoder

@@FortressLocksmiths I find every single one doesn't have a clear path underneath, which means aggressively corkscrewing the wire to get under. Sometimes that works but throws the lever pack all over and I can get lost as to where I was up to .

This is my issue too. Really struggle to get under them on the couple I have tried. Even the pre lifter I tried (ICL), the picking wires I've got (from Andy Mac) don't seem to be able to access all the levers.

Very informative and well described video as usual. Are you using a prelifter ? If not what picking tool are you using?

I do have prelifters but wasn’t needed for this as there was a clear run through….I use the ICL curtain pick in this vid, but also have the GJ multi pick and GJ uni gauge

@@martinbaldwin3317 yeah it is limited in that they won’t fit in every 5G or 7g keyway I had to make some slight mods, but as a beginner mortice set I can’t fault them to be fair
