Very funky one - so many 2-off options, not as many that reach 53. Still a couple ways to do it, but decent level. A little messy, but the top is instructive at least.
So hard... The amount of steps I need to leave bottom part doesn't let me enough moves to open the lock of the upper part... And I find no way to shorten... Am 10 off and will suffer LOL
One hour later: am 2 off thanks to optimizing bottom part. Let's try to find out the last 2 cut.

I came back to it now and solved it within a few tries. My 2 steps saver was in the upper part, that was a real struggle to me.
SO many 2-offs... Definitely follow qllmus's advice and try the unfixed version first. (titled "easy one to start off with") a lot more fun that way :)
Really difficult to spot the solution here. I was 2 off on both the bottom and the top parts for a while. Wish there wasn't as much wasted space though.
Wow, this is another GREAT level !
I came 2 off in about 10 tries but it took me 62 tries, all together. Just couldn't figure out the upper part of it ...
