Please Note

Some scenes in the following videos are restricted for security

 Video from 11/07 Fortress in wood (featuring the fortress pick)

Video from 12/08 The Fortress Finale

Quite long but proves a point, again featuring the fortress pick

The tools are available made to order from the shop and are tried and tested on many fortress locks prior to dispatch, however we cannot guarantee opening every fortress in the land, please view the videos and make your own decision.
 

When you purchase the fortress tool kit you will be sent a password to enter our video site where you can view the tutorial video that shows clearly how to use it.
 

It will take a lot of practice and patience to use this tool to develope a technique, the heavy handed approach will not work.
 

There's a good chance this type of tool would open many C shape lever type locks based on the priciple of how it works, we also have a simple solutions type theory to H shaped lever locks so watch this space, check out the Chubb 3K74 video below.

Thanks for taking the time to view them.

24th Feb 2009

We're just about to go into production for a 2 in 1 tool that is for 3 and 5 lever non curtain mortice locks. It will do the same job as the tradionaly accepted tool but will have the simple solutions look.

Keep a look out for it in the shop

28th Feb 2009

The 2 in 1 tool is made, and is available made to order from the shop, please allow up to 10 working days.

check out the video below.

2nd March 2009

Coming soon and a natural progression from the 2 in 1 will be overlifters.

They will be similar in style to the 2 in 1 as you would expect, and may come as a pair for left and right.

Keep a look out they should be on here soon including video.

Again, showing the potential of these tool handles, they are very adaptable that's why we use them.

Who knows what will be next, could be our personel pet hate the dreaded curtain pick, we don't think so.

Think alternative, think simple solutions, not high class, high priced tools with initials stamped on them. In these credit crunch times who can afford them anyway?
