Picked open a PACLOCK 90A-PRO since I've been progressing nicely with pin and tumblers. Found out I could also get a patch so sent off the video to them too.

For a project I went back to what set me down this path to begin with. I was in love with the old mortise locks and padlocks without keys as a kid and that translated to getting into picking in college. Now I use picking as a fidget during meetings. Some of the old padlocks from my parents' house where the key was lost long ago have been steppingstones to get to here. Blue belt is pushing me to take the next step and finally start with lever locks.

Here I take an old wire hanger and fashion a turning tool and pick to pick this old lever lock that my local locksmith got from a school that was torn down. Opened it up to remove the pencil led that was rattling around inside.  I did end up using the tools to Pick this 3 lever open, back closed, and then took a video of picking it open again here: [https://youtu.be/0N0otSQO9qQ](https://youtu.be/0N0otSQO9qQ)

Hopefully this is what was meant by making wire tools. All in all, it was a fun project regardless.
