I have a few rakes, but never use them. Great job Paul and thanks for sharing mate.

Cheers Gazz

[@LadyLocks]

Great job. Can't believe it raked that easily. I never try raking first and I really should. Thanks for sharing! 🥰😍😘☺

[@paulg413]

haha, I thought it took ages, normally if a lock doesn't rake in about 10 secs I usually give up and SPP, to be fair I never try it unless I have a problem and usually I do it so get some feedback (any feedback) from a lock that isn't playing ball

[@PickingPrincipals]

I do like to try to rake, but like Roy, it’s generally after not making a lot of progress SPPing. Nicely done!

[@paulg413]

Same here, and I'm often surprised at how good some of the locks are that the technique will open

[@BeercanBushcraft]

No talking, add a bit of music 🎶 🕺🏿 and you've got an entry into #Truckin200 as the old rake himself @BrettSucks 😂😂😂

[@paulg413]

Right, Great Idea, one directors cut coming up 🤣

[@qutube100]

Personally i find Unions to be quite interesting in general but the ASSA ABLOY ones are very much so (deceptive too as that keyway is nothing to write home about hey) nicely done LPP!

[@paulg413]

yeah, this was a real surprise as a beginner picker

[@MrPickyShorts]

i usually rake it first to see if i can get it open quick - think i need to get my SPP technique improved - that's a nice lock though. great video

[@paulg413]

I don't do it as much as I used to, I think people think it's a no skill approach but I disagree, it's a useful skill to have

[@NIGBEE-lock-bothering]

That would be a stumper when learning, and when learned 😂 nice raking.

[@paulg413]

Cheers NigBee, it was murder, I included the other half in the Lil' Bastards set and I think it gave several people some pain

[@NIGBEE-lock-bothering]

@@paulg413 ha ha, just had a look back, I picked it (with a struggle) forgot about that!

[@roysammons2445]

I'm all for that idea.... try the rake first. Although to be honest I usually try spp first and then when I don't get anywhere, bring out the rakes, not the clowns 🤡🤡🤡

[@paulg413]

I'm the same but I do think it's a skill worth having, I'm going to rake a little more, maybe try for the second open after an SPP
