It has been a little slow with my weblog. Maybe it’s because I now use twitter<\/a> to burst short messages instead of blogging, but the silence here does not mean nothing is happening. On the contrary, a lot is happening….<\/p>\n

\"combination
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

First there was the safe opening weekend<\/a>. I am sorry to be repetitive, but the weekend was a great success. Julian picked open four safes, amongst them yet another couple of real monsters <\/a>, and lots and lots of other safes were opened in more destructive ways<\/a>. I really was eager to try to open a safe by manipulating a combination lock, but failed<\/a> as the only lock around was a four wheel lips lock<\/a>. I am by now reasonably experienced in opening three wheel ‘group two’ locks, but this four wheel lips lock was just a little too much for me. We ended up drilling a hole in the safe and using a scope<\/a> to read the combination.<\/p>\n

I like a challenge and am using the vacation I am in now to study the four wheel lock(s). Jord Knaap was kind enough to let me use one of his cut-away<\/a> demo locks for this research\/test. The lock is neatly mounted on a stand<\/a>, and as Jord had an eye for details, he even included the anti-drill ‘hard plate’ on the stand (it’s the yellow layer<\/a> between the dial and the house of the lock). The interesting part is that these locks have false cuts in their wheels<\/a>, and the position of the false cuts seems to be different on some wheels. Maybe there is a pattern, but it is too early to say … It’s just the first day of my holiday today \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

Behind the scenes we are busy preparing lockcon (October 8-9-10)<\/a>. It’s gonna be good as more and more people from all over the globe are attracted to it, and the presentations will be high quality as always. And I will use this two week vacation to reply to some mails people have send me. I am running a little behind but will be back on track before the holiday is over …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
