Hey everyone,
(Photo of lock and key attached) Nice write-up. TT-Locks are tricky. Try bottom of keyway tension with a 0.015” short hook. The twist pins require very light, pulsing tension – almost like a wafer lock. And no, standard bypass doesn’t work on the newer models. They added a hardened anti-rotate plate. Reply 2 – NewbieLocks Wait, is TT-Lock the same as “TwistAssist” or different? Reply 3 – LockPicked_42 @NewbieLocks Different. TwistAssist is a key control feature. TT-Lock actually rotates some driver pins during key insertion. Different mechanism entirely. Reply 4 – Schlimm I gutted one last month. The springs are super light – that’s why raking fails. You need to individually set the twisted pins while maintaining tension that doesn’t bind them prematurely. Honestly, it’s overkill for most uses, but fun to pick once you figure it out. Would you like a version tailored for a specific platform (Reddit, Discord, a locksmith forum) or a different tone (e.g., sales pitch, warning, tutorial)? tt-lock
