Howdy ya'll. I've been enjoying learning more and more about picking lever padlocks. One challenge I've had is being able to control my tension tool easily while picking. My problem is that I have only a little surface area on the key that I've ground down and it puts my hands in an awkward position. This really helps, and also has a benefit of acting as a guide for my pick. Really happy with how this worked out.

Are you valuables safe when you store them in a public locker? I think pretty much yes, they are usually in high visibility areas, where I think theft by lockpicking is pretty unlikely, but are these locks pickable at all? Yes, for certain. The Ojmar lock has a tight keyway and 6 pins, which are in the "good column", but unfortunately the pins are mastered (makes sense, but also makes it easier to pick) and lacks security pins as far as I can tell (that doesn't make sense).

The KASP 14040 is an American Locks 1100 Clone that is easy to get in europe and a fun pick! I continue on my journey to join the 1 Million Scoville Locksport Club, a club of pickers who have picked a challenge lock while under the influence of 1 million scovilles. Check out the details about the club here: https://challenge-lock.com/1millionscovillelocksportclub/
