That was a great video Pugs! Very informative! Thank you very much! Certainly well used, aged locks pick much different than new ones! I always recommend to new pickers to use a new lock when starting out so they can get a feel for it before trying to pick used ones!
Locks truly do pick differently over time, especially if they're in active use. They can get gritty (which I forgot to really highlight), and the pins/chambers can get worn out spec. Your advice to newbies to get new locks is sound advice!
@@pugspickslocks I have a few very well worn in locks that must have been used a lot! Low tolerances and standard pins but i'd swear there's 12 serrations on each pin lmao! So hard to pick, very gritty!
My Abus 83/45 came with a zero bitted Schlage keyway, and you can pin the 6th pin which comes with it, in like a little kit. You also have the option to make it key retaining or not with the little z bar , also in the kit.
Man this is super cool ol pad! Love it! Thanks for sharing. And yeah, get your shite together😝😉. Hey seriously though great episode, channel. Keep doing you and your crushin it!🤘😎

Nice! I received this one in a care package of assorted locks, so it came as is. I might look into getting a new one with the package you mentioned.

Thanks man! I appreciate the comment. And me getting my shit together is like a fish learning to fly...LOL!
@@pugspickslocks I had a butterfly fish once, flew right outta the take and across the room! Pretty much landed in my cats mouth, poor guy!
I mean that's tragic and all, but... is it bad that my first reaction was to laugh...?
@@pugspickslocks No, honestly I was like WTF? then saw her munching, I kinda giggled and then felt really bad lol
LOL! Okay... I don't feel as bad about it now...
are these the abus locks that come with a schlage sc4 keyway built in?
Some do. This lock is an SC4 keyway, but you can get them with cores that have Yale, Kwikset, Corbin, Sargent, Weiser, Abus, etc... keyways.
