I definitely need to start picking this sort of lock. I've steered away from them as I have no knowhow or tools. However your channel has really spurred me on. Thanks (from another Brummie)
I'm thinking of joining Andy Mac monthly thing and buying tools to venture into these kind of locks. I've only done pin tumbler, tubular, wafer. I haven't even ventured into DD locks yet sparrows sold outta that new tool in less than 2 hours!
Would be nice if you picked the one with the clear side so we can see what you're actually doing in there so we know whereabouts and what we're fiddling around trying to feel in there. I'm just trying to unlock one door in my house one time and leave it open since we've lost the key, not become a lock pick pro by trade
love watching you work on these! i'm trying to get started into levers myself. problem is, i don't have keys to fit into either of the locks i have. you have any advice for some sort of DIY universal tension tool? thanks man!
Jeff McRill , make your own tool and buy key blanks to fit into tool Key Blanks www.cheaplocks.co.uk/key-blanks-machines/mortice-blanks.html I’ve done various videos on making the tool 👍
You need to put a pick wire in and feel for the levers to see if it’s a 3 or 5 lever lock. I would watch as many RU-vid videos as possible to learn more about Mortice locks
