    I’ve been on a hiatus due to some medical stuff making it hard for me to concentrate, but I’m a lock nerd. I collect cool locks (“cool” being very subjective here 😅) and pick / manipulate them.

    edit: here’s a tiny part of my collection. I’d upload more but I’m having a hard time with the mobile site and image uploads

        A-ha, I knew there have to be lock nerds on Lemmy.

        But yeah the basics are dead simple, you just need to have a light touch and listen to your fingers 😄

        And so much of the stuff applies for the majority of lock mechanisms. A lot of it boils down to “apply tension, feel for pins / disks / sliders / wafers / whatever that don’t want to move and then you make them move, while leaving the other pins / etc. alone. Repeat until done”
