Looked inside and I think it’s only missing a little pin or “key” to stop part of it from over tightening. Will post another picture of what I mean.

A lemmy community dedicated to the sport of lockpicking. Information about our belt system can be found at https://lpubelts.com.

#Rules

Rule 1 - Possibly Illegal or Inappropriate

We do not facilitate illegal or inappropriate activities, which includes picking locks that are not owned by you. Also, be sure that you are familiar with any legal issues for your state or country.

Rule 2 - Lock Not Owned or In Use

Though asking for assistance in regards to how to open a lock is permitted and encouraged, the lock must not be in use. Any submission looking for assistance in opening a lock that is implied to be, or is visibly in use (eg. a deadbolt still attached to a door, or a padlock with anything secured by a closed shackle) will be locked or deleted. Posting about picking locks or having picked locks in use is also not allowed even if they are your own.

Rule of thumb, lock is “in use” if installed.

Rule 3 - No Emergency Services

We do not provide emergency assistance for opening locks. These violations also generally violate our no “in use” locks rule.

Rule 4 - Being a Jerk

Hate speech, bigotry, and personal attacks are not allowed.

Rule 5 - No Astroturfing

Absolutely no astroturfing.

Definition:

Astroturfing is the practice of masking the sponsors of a message or organization to make it appear as though it originates from and is supported by grassroots participants. It is a practice intended to give the statements or organizations credibility by withholding information about the source’s financial connection.

Rule 6 - Off Topic

Posts must stay on topic. Off topic content will be removed at our discretion.

Off topic includes posts asking for lock recommendations, evidence of a lock being picked, and anything not having to do directly with locksport.

Rule 7 - No Stock Photos on Picking Advice Threads

No stock photos on picking advice threads in an attempt to circumvent Rule 2.

Rule 8 - No posts about broken tools or equipment

As some users have demonstrated an inability to discuss this in a productive way, posts about broken tools or equipment will be removed.

This is primarily to address posts commenting on the quality of products (or lack there of) contributing to their breaking.

Rule 9 - No low effort posts / Memes

/c/lockpicking is a subreddit to discuss topics and build a community around a skill, low effort posts and memes take away from that spirit. Including but not limited to photos of keys, Memes, etc
