May 1st Meeting Reminder – New Toys!

We’ve got a couple of new gadgets to play with for our upcoming meeting.

First, something everyone has been asking to check out, bump keying. We finally have some bump keys and a bump hammer for you to fiddle with.

Next, while bump keying is fun and all, IMHO the much cooler tool that we got is a tubular pick. These are the locks you find on bicycle locks, lock boxes, vending machines. The tubular pick is ridiculously easy to use.

So, come check out the new goodies, there are also some new locks to pick, and if you missed the impressioning class, we’ll always have that available from now on.

And it’s still $5 burger night at The Coop!

It’s that time again. We’ll be getting together at the Chicken Coop in West Des Moines for more picking and impressioning fun.  We’ll have a new goody for you to try, a Euro-style lock. Can you get it open? Only one way to find out!
