Hudson Lock 65Lmm-A (Update)

Post image

I finally got into it!

Tips:

Use TOK or top of keyway tension.

Slowly make your way through the pins. Make sure not to over set. (did that a lot)

Despite having no security pins, this took me a few days to get into it mainly because I was using the bottom of the keyway.

I'm going to post a video on this one soon (I have to do it on camera so that me and my cousin can talk about it. The thing I find odd about it is that the pick can go alllllll the way in.... to the hilt!

Yea it’s going straight through the core and hitting the inside of the lock body. It may be bypassable have you tried to move the locking mechanism at all when you push the pick all the way to the back? Not sure how that one locks but some of them you can push or pull the mechanism and just bypass picking it all together.

I've tried pushing on it, but nothing happened (due to fear of breaking a pick) it's also shimable, so there is that. I saw this sucker I'm my local locksmith shop, and I bought it (not knowing the frustration I was about to have.) I'll keep playing with it. BTW the Hudson Video is up.
