Few days ago I participated in a lockpicking session. There I noticed that it is quite big step for a less experienced locksporter to even try Abloy Classic picking: its easy to break that really tiny picking tip and professional picks can be quite expensive. So I decided to make a beginner friendly picking tip and a customized lock to be used as a first step for Abloy locksporting.
This beginner friendly training pick is more robust and easy to make, so less risk if will give it for a try for a person that has no previous experience with Abloy locks picking.
From the lock core I replaced every second disc with a disc that is cut to act as a spacer. This type of training lock must not have any full cut discs (if picking tip is turning a disc to full cut angle, zero cut positioned discs will move too, failing in 5-0 issue).
There are 4 pcs of random cutted discs & first zero cut free wheeling disc to practise with. None of discs can be a full cut. This set of discs can be placed to any padlock type of Abloy Classic lock core: to a cutaway or to a normal type of lock. This training lock can be operated with a normal key.
Sorry for really bad voice quality in this video. It seems I have some issue with my video recording system.
