Got this lock in the mail today from ElbowMacaroni, thanks a lot for the cool lock!! Working on the padlock next!

huh, very cool...so is that considered a dimple lock? or is it a hybrid lock?

Just a standard lock with passive side pins for key control.

beautiful lock....are they as well made as all the hype?
i know Vachette has been around for quite a while,and have never seen anything less than awesome from them.. (although never had one in hand)
even their bottom end stuff seems really nice..

nice lock looks like a challenge to pick

DAMN! That was FAST!

Gimme gimme gimme Good picking kokomolock. How hard was it to pick?

Is there anything you can't pick?? I struggle for months at some locks, and you just pull them out of a package and they open.

He gets help from Tooly.

In all seriousness, I'm certain that Kokomolock has a vast amount of experience. It's one of those things you get through practice... Lots of practice... Years and years of practice. There is no substitute for it either. Just keep it up and you'll get there too, be patient.

Ya shoulda showed both sides of the key... The dimples for the side pins are different on each side.

So... you're not going to mention it huh?

Farmerfreak mentioned that he gets help from Tooly, as a joke of course, but really I think that if you had another person to pick locks with and put all the experience together it would have to help.

2 heads are better than one ......but only one can work in the hole at a time

Vachette Update. This is a double sided cylinder, one of the sides is marked outside. The side I picked is the inside and it has none of the side pins in place.
The outside has all of the side pins in place and I have yet to pick the outside. I did not realize this till last night while talking with ElbowMacaroni who mentioned it to me. So back to the lock to get the outside cylinder picked. I will post some more pictures of it once I get the outside picked.

Ya know, I knew you'd say something... I was just razzin ya
