TSL192 - Project Spherical Cow Part 2: Picking 0, 45 & 90 Degrees

3 0

Published 2021-06-09

Welcome to Project Spherical Cow, which is designed to test in the coming weeks if lock orientation really does matter. In this Video I am going to try picking the lock I've chosen - a Schlage Euro-profile lock in the 0, 45 and 90 degree position, using the 3D printed holder I've designed for the purpose.

The rules are simple. For each orientation I pick it 3 times and then take the average of those times. If after 3 minutes I've not picked it then I'll call that run a DNF and add a full 3 minutes to the picking time.

The rest of the videos in the series can be found here::

Great job and very interesting. Reminds me of trying to pick a cross-lock. I'm ok with the pins top and right but, bottom and left kill me. Thanks for sharing Rik and enjoy the rest of your week mate.
