Competitive lockpicking growing in US popularity
SOMERVILLE, Mass.—Schuyler Towne took a gleaming brass lock, inserted a small bent piece of flat steel into the keyhole and gently applied finger pressure. Then he slid in a lockpick and manipulated the mechanism until it swung open, in less than 20 seconds.
Towne, 26, is not a burglar. He's a lockpicking instructor and part of a growing competitive movement called "locksport" that involves learning the theory of locks, analyzing the devices and figuring out ways to quickly defeat the systems without destroying them.
While lockpickers thrive on the intellectual thrill of beating all sorts of locks, they oppose attempts to use the skill for mischievous purposes and have laid down universal ethical guidelines: "You never pick a lock you don't own and you never pick a lock that's in regular use," Towne said.
Some lockpickers observe a code of responsible disclosure by providing manufacturers information on weaknesses they discover in locks they defeat -- just like responsible computer hackers do when they detect security flaws in software.
Still, the sport worries some law enforcement authorities, like James Pasco of the National Fraternal Order of Police.
"I'm sure that they are having a good time and I'm sure that the vast majority of people engaged in it are just puzzle solvers of a sort, (but) you run the absolute risk of educating criminals who might be inclined to pick locks for illegal purposes, you know," Pasco said.
Babak Javadi of the U.S. chapter of The Open Organization Of Lockpickers, or TOOOL, disagrees. He says locksport requires enthusiasts to invest a lot of time and patience to learn the skills. What's more, crooks are likely to use crowbars and saws to quickly pick locks because they do not care about surreptitious entry, he said.
The practice of lockpicking is generally legal if the picker owns the lock or has explicit permission from the owner to pick it. But possession, creation and distribution of lockpicking tools may be illegal, depending on the location.
Locksport fans compete in several formats, including head-to-head contests that determine the fastest lock picker. In the so-called Locksport Wizard, each contestant is given a burlap sack containing an identical set of locks and is required to blindly pick them using only tools they have put in the sack.
In other challenges, participants have to pick their way out of handcuffs before attempting to defeat a set of locks. There also are competitions to disassemble locks and reassemble them properly.
"This is why I pick: I love competing," Towne said. "Nothing makes me happier than sitting down across from another person and attempting to open a lock faster than they can."
Towne's group meets once a month in a Somerville garage converted into a studio for artists. Winners at its contests take only one prize -- pride in being the best lockpicker.

Pratiko by Meroni - A New, Easy To Install Furniture Handle

Quality construction, easy fitting and high versatility make Pratiko a true resource for furniture manufacturers
A detailed market survey among producers of office furniture revealed a strong demand for new closure solutions that were faster to fit, had fewer component variants and with a greater emphasis on quality. Meroni's first response to this demand is Pratiko., the revolutionary patented doorknob design that satisfies all of the requirements in a single model.
Pratiko is easy to fit in a few simple steps
1) remove the lock cylinder using the special extraction key
2) mount the Pratiko knob on the cylinder
3) insert the lock cylinder into the Pratiko knob
Pratiko is versatile
Pratiko is extremely flexible and is totally compatible with all Meroni cylinder locks. It is also equipped with a special adaptor device, allowing it to be used on panels ranging from 17 to 21 mm in thickness. In addition, thanks to a special spacer system, Pratiko eliminates the play that is often a problem between the door and a handle not perfectly flush with the panel surface.
Lockable Stopcock By Serrature Meroni

There is growing demand from utility companies for stopcocks with integrated security locks. Much of this demand is being driven by the introduction of new regulatory standards, in particular UNI-CIG 9036/01, which stipulates that, for reasons of safety, the stopcock fitted to each meter should be operable only by the user. The requirement can only be satisfied by fitting stopcocks with security as well as, in the case of single users, lockable cabinets.
The new Meroni 26RB5 is a patented lock system which is even more secure, flexible and quick to install and can be used on every type of stopcock – water, gas or compressed air.
Thanks to its automatic fitting system, the 26RB5 can be installed in half the time of a conventional stopcock lock.
In addition to the 26RB5, the 28RB5 model is a stopcock lock with body and cylinder in brass.
— brass tumbler lock with zama alloy body
— personalised groups of combination codes available for individual suppliers
— reversible key with over 500 combinations
— dust cover for maximum protection from dirt and weather
— automatic locking – key required for opening
— cylinder with service suspension key – lock dismantles for easy replacement
Many educational institutions and local councils would benefit from being able to secure the taps of their watering systems, reducing the crimes of convenience committed by persons wishing to disrupt normal efficient operations.
