Bill, I just bought a Pat Havlin square button, lightly used. The fire button is really hard to push. Is that normal for a square button? I have oiled it, still hard. It will spend it's time in a display case so not a big deal, just wondering if you knew about them?
Thanks,
Thom
PS you are right, PLP Makes best picklock period.

Re: Square Button
The shape of the button has nothing to do with the functionality. Something else must be going on. I’m sure Bill can enlighten us.

Re: Square Button
I would try removing as much oil as you can, then putting a dab of lithium grease in the sear hole.
If that doesn't work, contact Pat.

Re: Square Button
Thanks guys. It seems to be loosening on its own. Or I am just getting used to it. I will try your suggestion Bill.
Re: Square Button
I’ve had to “break in” a button. I hope your knife is working as it should.
