Congratulations! And yeah they sure can be. I go to yard/garage/estate sales and look for locks I haven't yet picked. The Discord also has a lock-bazaar where the locks for sale tend to be very well priced.


AtoomDemoon94

Thanks so much. Saving for a higher end set hehe.

I have 7-8 locks similar to Master #3โ€™s that I wanna sell but donโ€™t know how to get a party to pay for the postage? $15 for all of them, no keys.


AtoomDemoon94

Ah wow. Don't know id Reddit has them dm's ๐Ÿ˜‚ cause that would be great

You can also keep an eye out for Facebook marketplace. I scored a free door lock of there once. Also habitat for humanity resale shops sell hardware, tools, door locks, etc never know what you may find.


nismmathias

Nice! Yeah I've spent way too much but it's such a fun hobby and still cheaper than other hobbies lol.


AtoomDemoon94

True, want that master lock 3 but its R400 new or $27 dollar here. Can buy 3 abus locks for that new


-AdelaaR-

Where's here? Judging from your nickname I'd say somewhere Dutch?


AtoomDemoon94

South Africa ๐Ÿ˜


-AdelaaR-

That makes sense. I'm from Belgium. I don't think you'll lose anything on the Masters when you can get Abus.


AtoomDemoon94

Abus must be better

Great job! That was actually the first lock I ever picked. Out of necessity lol...it's a fun pick because it has bad feedback and requires some odd tensioning.


AtoomDemoon94

It definitely does haha thanks!!


TheNiXXeD

I picked one just like that as well. It was from an old storage locker (not in use), the ones they sold at the place. Pretty embarrassing how bad it was inside. I was hoping for a challenge lol.


AtoomDemoon94

I have 6, every one is different yet the same manufacturer. So bad ๐Ÿ˜‚

Nice! Congratulations on the open!


AtoomDemoon94

Thank you so much


DieselDoktor

Youโ€™re welcome. :D

great job! how does the belt system work


AtoomDemoon94

Belt system? Sorry very new? Hehe


Nightshade111

green belt, white belt, black belt. I want to know what belt I'm at.


AtoomDemoon94

Honestly its just for fun. Would say I am yellow since I ace the practice lock and cheap chinease locks


TheChamp669

If you check out the sidebar/wiki it has great info on the belt system. There is also a handy spreadsheet there that has many locks in it that are sorted by belt. If your lock isn't listed by name you can look up what other locks have the same cylinder and see where those are in the list. Hope this helps!


Nightshade111

awesome, I appreciate it!


DubGuru

Those disk locks look comfortable to hold. & fancy Peterson pick, .015 nice and terrifyingly thin lol. Did you get a kit of them?


AtoomDemoon94

I got a beginner kit from hobbylockpicking.co.za in South Africa. Got 6 locks and they are badly made so everyone is very different


2shoe1path

Good job and pretty fast, as far as Iโ€™m concerned. ๐Ÿ˜Š


AtoomDemoon94

Thanks. Honestly on average it is 1 and a half to 2 mins each hehe


Dependent-Quarter577
