Product Description
BJANCO Ltd produce a range of training aids for the individual wishing to learn the art of lock picking. Whether you would like to train yourself to become a professional locksmith and earn a living from the skills you master or you are just an enthusiast, fascinated by locks and how they work, you'll find these products very useful. These products are designed to assist in the process of mastering the skills required to become proficient in opening any kind of lock. There are currently twenty different lock training boards available (although only a few are available through Amazon).
The main mistake that beginners make when they start to learn to pick locks is that they hold the lock in one hand and try to pick it with the other. This is not only more difficult (as you need both hands to pick a lock) it is also a very unrealistic way to learn, as you don't hold a lock in a real life situation - It is usually fixed in a door!
Board Number 5
This board consists of four the most popular locks available.
• Lock 1 is a 5 Pin Rim Cylinder Lock, found on most wooden doors throughout Europe.
• Lock 2 is a 5 Pin Euro Profile Cylinder Lock, found on many different types of doors around the world.
• Lock 3 is a 5 Pin Disc Tumbler Lock, found on cash boxes, tills, filing cabinets, desks and many other places.
• Lock 4 is a 7 Pin Tubular Lock, found on vending machines, safes, cash boxes and other higher security applications.
The locks are held firmly in the board by our unique locking system. This prevents the locks from turning as you pick it. Once you master this set of locks you can simply pop them out and insert others to practice with.

This compact board offers exactly what the title says: the chance to practice your lock picking skills.
Approximately 3/4 inch thick, the board is about 7 1/2 inches tall with a base around 4 inches square. It is, as mentioned in the US review, made from a compressed particle board but does not seem flimsy or weak. I cannot see how the US reviewer's unit fell apart unless they were using considerable force, had got the board wet or received a damaged item. I have not yet tried this board using the key bumping technique but again, unless extreme force is used, I cannot see how even that could have caused damage.
The listing states that the locks may vary but mine arrived as pictured. The top left lock is a Yale type - mine was made by Sterling - and offers the most difficulty of the three regular style locks. The upper right lock - by Baton - is a Euro cylinder (or Euro lock) and is the other way up to a Yale, with the pins at the bottom; it offered very little in the way of a challenge when picking. The lower left lock is the same sort you'd see on filing cabinets or many cash boxes and is also very easy to pick. The lower right lock is a tubular lock of the sort you'd find on vending machines and some cheaper safes. To open a tubular lock you really need a tubular lock pick like the Southord 7 Pin Tubular Pick or, at around half the price, the GOSO 7 Pin Tubular Lock Pick 7.5MM. You could spend ages picking each of the (usually) seven pins, one by one, with regular picks, but your chances of success are extremely limited.
The two lower locks are held into the board by large nuts at the back of the board. The upper two are held in by wing-headed screw threads which squeeze the locks from the top and hold them into the holes drilled right through the practice board.
The practice board is not strictly necessary if you have legal access to a variety of lock types and have something suitable to hold them while you work, but for the rest of us this board is a useful piece of kit for practicing this hobby.
Remember, attempting to pick any lock which you do not own, or have the legal owner's permission to do so, is illegal. Even just inserting a tension wrench (tool) can count as breaking and entering.

Flimsy Stand.
16 Dec 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
After about two hours of picking, the stand, which is constructed of particle board, cracked in half. It would have been much better if it were made of a simple piece of wood.
