Well, after a 12 safes manipulated open so far this year my streak has been broken

My nemesis the JJ taylor beat me again. I'm going to try again tomorrow but I don't really have much hope.

Can you locate what is making it so difficult for you?

The JJ taylors just don't reveal as well as other locks. I was able to get one open in January. It took 2 hours and 2 tries compared to the 15 minutes I'm used to. Today I give it another try. hopefully with fresh eyes and a clear head the numbers will reveal themselves.

If there is to much noise, you might try to put pressure onto the lock bolt by turning the handle, e.g. with a rubber cord.

I will try that. Have you had much success with JJ TAYLOR style locks? They are my kryptonite!!

Not being near Canada I haven laid my hands on one. I do have a rolling bolt S&G. It is totally noisy because the bolt/lever assembly shifts back and forth as it doesn't have a dedent ball. Pushing the bolt work onto the lock bolt should make it much better.

I'm back!!! Got that bitch open..
I'm not sure how to account for the time on this one. I was getting nowhere with the All wheels right approach. Which is what I THOUGHT the JJ taylor wanted. I gave up I said screw this .. let's try an all wheels left approach.. well wouldn't you know it everything fell right into place and 15 minutes later that lever fell into the cam...
