I've been practicing for Baltimore.. sure it's a different lock, but the theory is the same. Average is 11-18 minutes....

Well, we got her open. But there is no peeking until tomorrow morning when the news comes. This was by far the hardest safe i've ever had to open. I can't wait till tomorrow when I can see what's happening with the lock. There's something wrong with it with it. #safecracker

Woohoo! I can’t afford locks any more, but fortunately pre-paid for these amazing Digby Lock and Tool locks (I have three, of course) last year… 😎 Beautiful shiny things, though I’ve not looked at the internals yet… #lockcollector

Apologies, Cary Hendricks (@figⁿjam) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 , not an aspect of lock tech that I know anything much about at all… Anyone else got any suggestions?

Oops, I did it again... #safecracker #safecracking #locksport

I'd rather not talk about how long I spent on this one. It's rather embarrassing. The good news is that once I realized I was dialing wrong, it was only 5 minutes.. I can't believe I did that.. oh well, live and learn. #safecracker #safecracking #locksport

Random late night “science”… compare the attached video with this: youtube.com/shorts/YUwyr5f… - I think I might need to buy myself a better ultrasound cleaner… 😝🤣 (or YouTube is fake 🤪). #guinness

Finally relaxing with the pup after a few days at 44CON , mostly spent sat on the KSEC stand teaching people how to pick locks, and other things… as per usual, I completely forgot to take any pictures - so, if you have any, feel free to share… #44con #locksport

Finally found a circlip the perfect size for the removal tool in my re-pinning kit… 🥳 Can anyone identify the lock based on the photo below?? 🤔 #spotthelock #locksport

Have been thinking about gear optimization and I reduced my core tool set needed to break into most office buildings into something that can fit in a jacket pocket. (using this jacket taftac.com)

I don’t actually have any experience of opening these myself… likely to be openable with a cheap set of rakes, or, more expensive tooling required?? Anyone got any decent practical advice??

Hope everyone has a good day at BSidesNCL (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) today… sadly, I can’t make it (Bloody hospital appointment 🤬). Keep things weird, people - and I’ll hope to be distraction free to attend the next one… ❤️

Well, I guess that’s it official then… a bunch of us are running an LPV at BSides Bristol next month… If there’s anything you particularly want us to bring along - let us know, and we’ll try to fit it in… #locksport #lockcollector

“… I'm drinking this beer and I'm doing these drugs Just to numb all this pain, I don't know what to do It's not just me, only you and I know, that I've been so in debt that I'm suicidal…” - youtu.be/NQrsMaGo7Ns?si… #earworm #butitis #ohitis

Can we have a quiet moment for all the picks mangled at LPV’s to people who don’t initially get the whole “if you need to use force, you’re doing it wrong” & “the pick isn’t a key, you don’t need to twist it”… video is giving me flashbacks…😝🤣 #seeiteverywhere #manypicksdown

… and today’s award for the “warding most likely to destroy EPG blades” goes to… 😝🤣 #locksport #lockcollector #allegedlyaGege looking forward to seeing what’s inside it when I get round to gutting it…

Temptation in a pic

I solemnly swear she is up to no good at BSides Bristol PocketSIEM

thanks to BSides Bristol for putting on a fab event 😍
