Class Description:
This class is best suited for students who are already familiar with defeat methods for standard locks. Lever Locks are generally considered the most secure of the basic mechanical lock designs. The lever design is much more common than some people believe. Nearly all domestic safe deposit locks, many door locks (domestic, but especially foreign), and most key-operated safe locks and penitentiary locks are secured by levers. In addition, the lever design is used in some mail box and furniture locks. Tactical Lever Locks is intended for those who need to open such locks without damage.

NOTE: A kit containing many of the tools used in this class is available for an additional charge.
