Great post. Nice to see lockpicking over on steemit. I have a very similar set and that beginner lock is very useful to help explain to people they have sh*tty locks.
whats the hardest lock youve picked?

I literally started doing this a couple weeks ago in my spare time. The only locks I have is basically what is in my house, so I think the hardest lock I have picked was actually a Defiant deadbolt with one spool in it. The padlocks I have are old and crappy from being used outside so those were a challenge to get past all the gunk, even after spraying them with lubricant.
Actually the hardest one was an Abus 85/40 which has a whole bunch of spool pins in it. I didn't know it before i picked it, no wonder it took me so long, lol.
Ok let me confirm, because I was messing with it again today. The Abus (Uhaul stamped on it) 85/40 is a bit hard because it has mushroom pins in it according to the Abus website on this particular lock.

I don't have the key to it, not sure if I ever did, cause I believe it was my brothers from years ago.
Why did I still have it? Good question, lol, and the answer is, I have no idea! Guess it was waiting for this moment.
