Practicing for the Guinness world record: I can now pick 9 locks with security pins *almost* as fast as the current record-holder can pick 8 locks without security pins (1 minute)!
Just need to drill this new technique into my muscle-memory and I think I'll have it.
My personal goals:
- 9 locks (with security pins) in 1 minute
- 21+ locks in 3 minutes
- 120+ locks in 1 hour
I think I can do all three.
Here's one of my trial runs. I made 7 mistakes¹.
9 Brinks 164 padlocks, 5-pins with 2 spools each, single-pin-picked in ~1:12.

¹ my hands were sore after picking for over an hour straight...and I'm sleepy 🥺
@alice mhm, can't view the video, the TLS handshake times out for me
but it sounds impressive
@alice I’ve never picked a lock before but there’s a bunch more time than I thought consumed moving the tension bar thing from lock to lock.
The manufacturing engineer in me wonders if there’s a better way to do that. Like taping it to your right thumb or something.
@alice oof, I know how sore and crampy my hands can get after writing quickly for an hour straight, so it’s easy to imagine that your hands must be sore! You can do this though! Absolutely believe in you, you amazing and beautiful person!
Also, I hope you do it in the cute onesie because it would be fun
