The specifications were: I have to be able to lock it from the inside with a knob, and I will not use the key on the outside at all. It is a pretty security aware friend, and he wanted to use a pick- and bumpproof lock. So I gave him the lock you see below. Guaranteed pick and bump proof!<\/p>\n<p>Can you see why?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_470\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-470\" class=\"size-full wp-image-470\" title=\"pickproof\" src=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/pickproof.jpg\" alt=\"pickproof lock ... can you see why?\" width=\"400\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/pickproof.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/pickproof-109x150.jpg 109w, https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/pickproof-218x300.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">pickproof lock ... can you see why?<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ok, here is what I did: <a href=\"http:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/pickproof2.jpg\">I drilled out<\/a> three of the caps that hold the springs and pins in place, and replaced the pins with a steel screw. Of course I cut the remaining head of the screw off using an abrasive wheel. If you look closely into the keyway you can see the thread of the screw instead of a smooth pin. Now, I am the first to admit the lock can not be opened from the outside at all, but that was the specification. Because of the steel screws I think the lock is a little bit more difficult to drill and pull out also &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>More news soon, as I am still busy and still exploring the new features of this version of the wordpress blog software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>pickproof lock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":171,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/171"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=469"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4198,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469\/revisions\/4198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackbag.toool.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
