    Last one to be caught up: another Union StrongBOLT, this time in sashlock. No key photo for this one.

    I first picked this EVVA on a steel door at 1am on Christmas eve morning, to get the water back on for about 90 people in a block of flats. I was quite happy to get it within 5 minutes.
    I just picked it again, and it took far longer! Definitely has torpedo key pins - if you overset them, you're stuck until you do a full reset.

    Then today's lock (because I was running behind) is this Yale. Higher security than normal, it's some restricted keyway, but wide open for picking. Lol at that key bitting! I overset the back three a few times. Then at what I thought was open, was two deep, deep spools in 1 & 2, but they were easily defeated.

    A photo of a Yale screw in cylinder and it's key, showing the bitting having the rear 3 pins as almost zero lift, then a MACS step up to pin 3, then pin 2 at the highest possible lift for the blank. Pin 1 is also a very high lift, slightly higher than on 3. The key only works if lifted at the bow, perhaps indicating that it's a copy blank cut too low.
