Fun, beautiful lock. Wish it had a key.

Super cool really fun to pick lock, chocked full of security/trap pins very easy to overset pretty easy to get into an overset that will cause you to reset but not absurdly difficult either.
But it came in really nice condition with a working key everything function very smoothly and as it should and I really enjoyed and appreciated the little extras included in the form of the c-clips and cylinder holder they're actually a lot more handy than you would suspect and the holder is really an extra special little bonus because obviously it'll work on all types of European cylinders so it's beneficial to your current collection as well great shipping speeds will be buying from here again soon
