Know your limits….

A while back, I was called out to open a car

that had the keys locked in the trunk. When I

arrived on the scene, I learned that the car was

a rental and the driver decided to see if he

could open the trunk before I got there. He

took a hammer and punch and proceeded to knock the trunk lock into

the car. That not only did not open the car but now it needed body

work to repair the damage that the driver had done. His wife informed

me that they did not buy the insurance for damage on the rental car

because her husband was like Tim Taylor and thought he needed more

power to get it open. I added my knowledge to what he did and got the

trunk open. If he had only thought about what he was doing, he could

have saved himself some time and money by letting a professional open

his car. You must know your limits and perform like the professional

locksmith that you are. Only you can tell what you are capable of

doing. Get the training and practice necessary. Be the best.

It's meeting time and we will be voting for officers. Come and cast your

vote.

Your President,

Mike Middick, CML

From Gator Tools

Notes from the GT boss’s desk,

The Mortise Socket MS056c is back in stock and being shipped to your

favorite suppliers. Not everyone stocks this tool but it is available and in

stock at www.hlFlake.com, as they are available through the rest of our

suppliers we will list them on our website.

The Mortise Socket is an innovative tool for the locksmithing and aluminum

store front service industry. Many times the mortise lock will get cross

threaded, and become extremely tight or hard to remove. If the lock you’re

working on is an expensive or high security lock, you can remove it without

damage to the face of the lock.

Corrosion, dirt or grease will not stop this tool from its task. It will work on the

many variations of sizes of locks in today’s market. Such as: Standard mortise

locks, many IC core housings, restricted key housings, just about all types of

mortise locks.

This tool will grip a standard mortise lock. By attaching a 3/8" socket or

breaker bar you can turn the most stubborn of lock. It is thin enough to slide

between most mortise lock and security collars. Plus if there is a need, the tool

will break the average Adams-Rite set-screw to remove those expensive locks

without damaging the face of the lock.

It comes in retail packaging, instruction and the correct size hex wrench to fit

the tool.

The Advantages of Laughter

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

People with a good sense of humor

tend to be more creative, stable, and

self-confident.

They also tend to be healthier;

laughter releases endorphins that

energize us, increase our endurance,

and lessen our pain.

A person who can laugh at life

and laugh at himself will have

less stress in life.

Humor also makes you

more effectively persuasive.

Beginner’s Corner

Shear line and Lock Picking

In a cylinder lock, the shear line (also known as the split line in Australia), is

where the plug ends and the shell begins. When a break in the pins is reached by

picking, the bottom pin will "hang" at the shearline due to the space between the

plug and shell of the cylinder.

This "imperfection" in the lock

mechanism is an unavoidable

defect in the manufacturing

process that allows for lock

picking. Lock picking is a vital

part of the locksmithing process

as it can grant non-destructive

entry to the lock thus allowing it

to be opened or rekeyed instead of

being drilled or destroyed.

Lock picking is the art of unlocking a lock by analyzing and manipulating the

components of the lock device, without the original key. Although lock picking

can be associated with criminal intent, it is an essential skill for a locksmith.

Lock picking is the ideal way of opening a lock without the correct key, while

not damaging the lock, allowing it to be rekeyed for later use, which is

especially important with antique locks that would be impossible to replace if

destructive entry methods were used.

The move towards combination locks for high security items such as safes was

intended to remove the weakest part of the lock: its keyhole.

In normal situations it is almost always easier to gain access by some means

other than lock picking; most common locks can be quickly and easily opened

using a drill, bolt cutters, padlock shim, a bump key or a hydraulic jack. The

hasp, door, or fixture they are attached to can be cut, broken, unscrewed or

otherwise removed, windows can be broken etc. Therefore a lock that offers

high resistance to picking does not necessarily make unauthorized access more

difficult, but will make surreptitious unauthorized access more difficult. Locks

are often used in combination with alarms to provide layered security.

Some people enjoy picking locks recreationally. This may also be referred to as

Locksport.

A traditional set of pin/tumbler lock picks. The two tools on the left are torsion wrenches. The picks from left to right are:

hook pick, half diamond (steep angles), snake rake, half

diamond (shallow angles), S-rake pick, double round pick and long double ended pick.
