This rake is effective on many lock types, but is specifically designed for shallow, sweeping key biting's like those found in Best, Arrow, and Falcon locks.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Twin-Peak\" is most effective on the withdrawal stroke of the making it one of the most effective rakes available. It differs from a traditional rake in the way it functions by using a \"ramping\" effect similar to bumping.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Worm-Rake\" is Designed to emulate as many key biting's as possible when used. This size worm rake is designed for attacking Master, Abus and Schlage Locks.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Triple-Peak\" is used on the withdrawal stroke and is one of the most effective rakes available. It differs from a traditional rake in the way it functions by using a \"ramping\" effect similar to bumping. Similar to the double peak with different spacing.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Small half Diamond\" acts like a wedge while manipulating pins in keyways that are arranged in a manner that disallows a hook-type pick. The half diamond wedges itself under, and sometimes past the pins that are set too low to get a traditional hook under.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Steep Hook\" is very similar in effect to the high reach tool, but is intended for very restrictive and tight, high security locks. With its downsized, slender profile, it is also very useful in taller Euro style keyways.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Offset Hybrid\" is a combination of a shallow hook, and a rounded half diamond. The wedge-like point and specially rounded bottom edge slides through the keyway. With the pick acting as a centered fulcrum you will find that this pick has extremely smooth and controlled lifts. This is critical for locks like ASSA.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Standard short hook\" or lifter is the first \"go-to\" pick in the arsenal. This Pick is more versatile and is used more often than any other pick. It is designed to let the picker feel of the intricacies of the lock and manipulate pins individually. When the pick is used in a raking type technique it is also possible to work several pins at the same time. This pick is good for a wide range of keyway types, and pinning arrangements.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"City Rake\" is a standard rake that has proven to be indispensable over the years. This pick does a fantastic job of emulating the key biting's found among most common commercial and residential locks such as Kwickset, Weiser and master.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe \"Shallow Euro\" hook is intended for small and restrictive keyways often found in European, and \"high security\" locks such as Yale and Chubb. The slack curvature and slender profile allows the pick to slide past set pins and through highly restrictive keyways where a standard short hook is too large to do the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll lock picks are manufactured by Sparrows out of American Made 301 Cold Max steel with average tension strength of 280,000 PSI\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sparrows Lock Picks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41859794960566,"sku":"RD-EE-030","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0247\/9785\/products\/Screenshot2022-10-09100838competitor.jpg?v=1665278153"},{"product_id":"sphere-w-cylinder","title":"Sphere w\/cylinder","description":"\u003cp\u003eCylinder locks can be expensive and awkward to hand pick.

Installation is easy and no tools are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach kit contains two Tie Breakers. Only one Tie Breaker needs to be installed to restore the locks security and prevent any zip tie attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOdds are you already know about the vulnerability in Allegion's electronic pin access locks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSold under the Schlage brand “the strongest and most technologically advanced security products for home” these locks have a major vulnerability. In 2020 Dominic Villeneuve found a way to access the inner working of these pin access locks with a modified Zip tie. Almost any outdoor lock will have a drain hole (so rain water can escape) and almost every lock picker has jammed a paper clip into that hole to see if something would happen. Well this time …. Something did. The key to making the bypass work is using a nylon zip tie that has the flexibility and strength needed to access the controller area without damaging it. When in the proper position the tip of the Zip Tie touches the arm of the locking gate opening the lock. It is a simple, elegant non-destructive bypass and is virtually untraceable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFortunately Dominic not only found the flaw he also developed a “patch” for it. There is no need to replace your lock you simply need to block the drain plug access point. Dominic developed a clip that requires no tools for instillation and be installed in seconds. It prevents any Zip tie bypass attacks while still allowing rain water to drain effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo one other than Allegion will know how many locks are vulnerable to this Zip Tie bypass but it is in the millions. In February 2021 Allegion did update their electronic pin access locks to prevent a drain hole attack. Any electronic pin access control locks sold prior to February 2021 under Schlage C0 Series are vulnerable to being opened with a Zip Tie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo test if your lock is vulnerable, look at the drain hole at the bottom of the lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf a 3mm wide object can fit into the drain hole it can be compromised with a zip tie.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sparrows Lock Picks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41859808755894,"sku":"RD-EE-031","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0247\/9785\/products\/Screenshot2022-10-09103109tiebreaker.jpg?v=1665279178"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0247\/9785\/collections\/RD-hawk.png?v=1553916786","url":"https:\/\/www.roguedynamics.com\/collections\/sparrows-lock-picks.oembed","provider":"Rogue Dynamics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
