[76] Covert Instruments Practice Lock Set Up

Would love to see a follow-up that covers some pinning options in order of difficulty. Knowing how to steadily increase difficulty is tough, but seems ideal for keeping motivated. Thanks for this either way!

Just got one of these and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong cause I don’t have the feel for it yet. Turns out my first pin was long and I kept over setting like like you said. Thanks for this it’s really helpful for getting started.

I have this practice lock. It was really nice to get started and learn the basics. I'd recommend getting the Sparrows reload kit to go with it to anyone wanting to get a little more out of it. The reload kit comes with a follower, more pins, springs, the pinning mats, and keys that you can pin the lock to.

Wish i had found you when i was starting, you are a great teacher!

THANKS….VERY HELPFUL.

Just got the notification. Thank you, excited to watch this!

Thank you so much for the help! one of the first videos that came up and actually answered my question! Looking forward to future videos!

Jolly good tutorial my friend 👍

Looks useful. I would like to test this lock with all the different elements. Good idea.

Well done doing this tutorial. This looks like a nice locks to practice with, cheers

I appreciate your videos so so much. You’re a very good teacher. You explain things by little incremental steps, all the details so we can understand. When I watched the lock picking lawyer he’s like all you have to do is this and this and this then when I try and do it I run into a million problems which is why I started looking elsewhere. His videos might be nice to look at and be like wow but he’s not the best teacher with his very sparse videos. It might cause him to get more views but watching your videos is for people who are serious about learning lock picking. Your videos are like lock picking collage. His videos are like watching TikTok. Thank you for giving to the community all the knowledge you have.

Thank you so much for making this video. I just got it in the mail. It doesn’t come with instructions and I can’t find a video by CI that’s says how to put it together and I don’t want to mess anything up by accident so I’m glad you made this video which has helped countless people by now who search for video likes I did to learn how.

You can also open it with the dimple pick

see a lot of "black belt" lock pickers saying this lock is pointless (reddit), sounds like gatekeeping to me, curious to your opinion.

I just wish it came with different spring tensions.

Mine came with 27 key pins instead of the 30 you mentioned. Did they make some changes to what you get when you order one of these?

Mine came with 27 total key pins but you and others said it comes with 30 total.

mine came with 9 sizes of key pins. wonder why you got 10?

Anyone ever tell you that you sound a lot like Spike, from Cowboy Bebop? Its erie how much. 😅 But that's awesome. 😉

whats that thing you used to separate all the pieces and where can I get one?
