I'm having hell with my 1105!

i finally decided to remove 2 pins from the back, just to get some practice with it. mine came keyed with only one spool, in the front #1 spot.

i'm easily able to get it into false set, but when i work the serrated spool, while lessening the tension i'm hitting a block! the pin moves up, and my wrench lessens, then it gives- both the pin slide into place, and i feel the wrench snap back into tension.

however, it won't unlock!!! i can't figure why! sent u a pm.

@dnullify100 u may have unlocked it w/o knowing it...u are prolly fighting the return spring

Thanks for this - I just received 2 American locks and will be trying them shortly using this newfound knowledge.

I can get the lock to a false set, but then I am having trouble setting the remaining pins... Thanks for the tutorial though
