Hello mates, I recently got this Assa from UKLockPicker.
I tried to pick it out of the box but my cat started messing up my desk, so I had to stop recording.
Since I managed to open it just once, it could take a while before I can do it on camera,but I'll keep trying
Here's the lock:




And the key:




When I can pick it consistently I will gut it,I'm curious about the pinning...


Btw,Alan,I managed to pick the other lock too, nice "warm-up" as you said!

ERA 6 pin



Thank you again.
Andrea

Excellent andrex I share your joy - i only wish i could pick one
Pleased for you - very well done

Hello mate!
Thank you for the "+" feed!
I think this lock will teach me a lot, thank you for such a tough "teacher"!
Andrea

I vote post the vid of the kitty attacking your desk... who doesnt like kitty terror

nice job on the 600 btw its one heck of a lock...

Congratulations. Assa are hard. I have an Assa seven-pin (it was said to be a 701 but I'm not sure that it is) and so far I've only picked it twice. I can reliably get maybe four or five pins set but the last two or three always cause me problems.

Very good! Hope you get the medeco soon

Awesome Andrea! Bet that felt good!! Thanks for sharing it with us... I love to hear about the victories and defeats.


I'll bet Xeo has some such vids as well. I'd love to see that too. lol

Thank you all for your kind words, you make me feel less "dumb".

@LocksmithArmy & Oldfast: I think I'm gonna share part of the video,namely the "cat attak" bit, so I can blame Yoshi for my failed attempt at picking the Assa

@Andy: 7 pin... a nightmare in a nightmare.. like Inception! Keep at it, you'll master it

@John: thank you, as soon as the medeco is here, i will give it a try (failing ,of course!)
