Pro-Lok PKA2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pro-Lok Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick work on left hand and right hand tubular locks?
Left hand, right hand, and center tubular locks are all covered by the Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick. That is the main reason to pick this one over a single-orientation tubular pick: one tool handles the ACE-style cylinders you find on vending machines, coin boxes, cam locks and bike locks regardless of which way the keyway is oriented.
2) Can you pick each pin individually with the Pro-Lok PKA2, or does it only work all at once?
Both. The Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick is built to work two ways: pick each pin individually, or impression all of them at once. Individual pin work is what you fall back on when a worn or tight cylinder will not give to the all-at-once method.
3) Does the Pro-Lok Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick come with a decoder?
A decoder is included with the Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick, so once the lock opens you can read the depths off the tool and cut a working key rather than re-picking the cylinder every visit. For a locksmith servicing a route of tubular locks that is the difference between an open and a key.
4) Is a tubular Ace pick the right tool for a standard pin tumbler door lock?
No. The Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick is built for tubular ACE-style cylinders, where the pins sit in a circle around a round keyway. A conventional door lock with a flat keyway and a single row of pins needs a standard pick set and tension wrench instead. Buying this one for residential deadbolts is a wasted purchase.
5) Is the Pro-Lok tubular Ace pick a replacement for the old Tubular Lee pick?
It is the same class of tool. Pro-Lok describes the Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick as similar to the old Tubular "Lee" pick, so if you learned on a Lee the technique carries straight over, with the added decoder and the left, right and center coverage.
6) What is the Pro-Lok Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick made of, and will the picks hold up to repeated use?
The body is aluminum and 12L14 steel alloy, the picks themselves are 1095 carbon spring steel, and the finish is black anodized. Spring steel picks are what let the feelers flex against the pins and return straight instead of taking a set after a few dozen opens.
7) How does the Pro-Lok PKA2 tubular pick ship, and is it protected for a service van?
It comes in a wood box made specifically for Pro-Lok, so the pick and decoder stay seated rather than rattling loose in a tool bag. Bent feelers are the usual death of a tubular pick, and the case is the reason this one survives the truck.
8) Does the Pro-Lok Deluxe Tubular Ace Pick come in more than one model or size?
One model only, the PKA2. There is no separate left-hand or right-hand version to choose between, because the single tool is set up for left hand, right hand and center locks.
