In #LockSport news, it's probably a bad sign for my financial responsibility that Multipick has looked at my activity in their shop and decided I'm a business customer...

(I know it's just spam, but it amused me)

Fediverse Question (especially for hackers, burglars, lockpickers, and miscreants):

What is that name of this lock?

I need to replace it. And I need to know what to type into the search bar to replace it.

(The lock mechanism uses wafers. But I'm not looking for a "wafer lock" - like... I can't put a cabinet wafer lock on this).

It's used for locked glass bulletin boards (physical boards). I dont want to buy a new board. I just need to replace the lock. We can pick it open (and pick it closed) but not everyone knows how to jiggle a jiggler.

(side question... I dont even need to replace the lock if it has a standard key)

(Edit. Maybe if I added the pictures that would help)

This is my new mini-EDC pick case.

The picks include two wafer jigglers, a knife tool and a city rake on the left, and some very small Bogota rakes plus a short hook on the left. I can carry the whole thing easily in my wallet.

They're not my go-tos for a tough lock, but I can open most locks with them, and they're handy when I don't have my usual picks with me. #lockpicking #locksport

I haven't figured out how to set a new combo on this antique lock yet, but at least it was easy to decode 😋

I had to make a tool out of spare bits to pick this ancient disc-tumbler lock!

Yes, I tried the vibrator first, but it wasn't having any of it.

Found this awesome Sargent solid brass 4-lever pancake push-key lock at the vintage hardware store.

Probably dates to circa 1895-1910.

Fun fact: the shackle spring is so strong that it holds some of the levers in place when you set them, hence I only had to poke it a couple times to set them all and pop it.

And my lock touching has gone pleasingly well too.

I got a couple of big packets of locks off ebay last week and promptly found I couldn't pick any of them, but with a bit of patience and learning to vary tension I've managed to pick a Cisa C2000 and an Asec Vital.

I've been vaguely following the Lockpickers United belts, but I probably won't do them formally because I can't be bothered to record myself, and I'm too gak-handed to gut a lock.
