this is the lock-picking lawyer and i
just got a great package from bosnian
bill over in the loc lab let me take you
through what he sent my way and then I
will choose one of these locks to open
up for you starting up here we have a
try max puff lock these are chinese-made
locks this one looks like it's
absolutely brand-new it's a less
expensive alternative to the American
and master locks that you generally see
on the side of vans I've not picked one
of these before so I'll be interested to
see what's inside then down here we have
a a Texas Jim quick set challenge lock
and looks like really nice bidding on
that key next one over is a an arrow
mortise cylinder they actually whomever
whomever made this lock put some nice
little engraving on here I know I've
seen this on Bill's channel so I'll have
to take a look and see who is the
craftsman who put this one together next
we have an American brand mortise
cylinder clearly from those screws we
can see that this has been altered next
we have an 83 series core for an abus
padlock hmm from how difficult this is
to insert and remove I'm guessing this
is a challenge lock though I have no
idea whether it is or not next we have a
small 6 pin best small-format
interchangeable core lock a vintage
American brass padlock this is a a u.s.
lock made for a military contract and
speaking of locks made for military
contracts we have this 5200 that looks
like it has seen better days we'll take
a look at that one it'll be interesting
to see both this 5200 and the 700 up
here American locks go through a
metamorphosis when you put them out in
the weather for a while those are locks
that I can easily pick within easily 30
seconds when they're brand new
but put them out in the weather for a
couple years and they turn into a to
three minute lock so I'll be interested
to see how I fare against these locks
who have certainly been out in the
weather for a while then we have a brass
beautiful weathered Yale I think they're
series 800 padlocks so I'm not sure
exactly what the designation is finally
we have four dimple locks and bill must
know that I love picking dimple locks
because he sent a few my way the first
is this old multi lock classic it's a
half euro profile cylinder this actually
came to me in a bag all taken apart I
put it back together and from that I
know that this is a very very old multi
lock probably older than anything I've
picked before I know that because it has
the old-style driver pins that are
susceptible to an over lift attack when
I do feature this one I will show you
exactly what I'm talking about with that
then we have an MCN dimple lock and I
know I've seen this one on Bill's
channel recently and I'm anxious to give
it a shot
next a multi lock interactive a ul rated
rim cylinder and finally an eyes AO
dimple lock and I thought this might be
an r8
I know I've picked our eights before but
the at least that's what it looks like
from the key but the key way is not when
I'm familiar with so off to do some
research on this to see what it is oddly
enough the only other isiah dimple lock
I have ever picked was also a lock lab
castaway and this is one that I featured
a long time ago in video 46 this was a
lock that bill picked and improved by
putting this r8 core in it and I found
it floating around on eBay and again
that was in my video number 46 if you're
interested I just thought it was a bit
funny that the only isaiah dimple locks
that have come across my picking bench
arf castoffs from the lock lab okay so
what are we going to pick today well you
guys probably could have guessed that
you know I love multi locks so let's
pick this multi lock interactive it's a
ul rated cylinder which means it has
some extra extra drill protection in
there let's push everything aside here
get the get our vise into place and get
to picking okay there we go that looks
all right
it's faint of you a little better okay I
think that'll do the trick okay we're
going to use a nice fat tension wrench
in the side here and one of my spooks
dimpled pecks ok let's start looking for
binding outer pins ok click out a 1/2 is
loose 3 is loose click out of 4 and
click out of 5 and a little bit of
movement on the core ok pulling back I'm
definitely stuck on something I got some
movement out of 4 when I did that I'm
stuck on 3 I got past it ok let's start
from the beginning again
a durp in on 1 is loose outer pin on 2
is loose same on 3 4 ok I hit 5 again we
got some movement on the core pulling
back I am stuck on the inner pin on
number 4 I hit him and got a little
movement on that let's go back to the
beginning nothing on one inner or outer
to getting counter rotation on the outer
pin got him set nothing on 3 4
or five back to one
see - okay - counter-rotation on that I
thought I said him last time through but
I must not have nothing on three four
okay I hit four went to a nice deep fall
set probably just have inner driver pins
left got one on three nothing on four or
five back to one nothing there two three
again and we got the lock open okay
let's take this guy apart and see what's
inside I'm probably going to relock this
because I do have the key for it I'll
probably make gutting it just a little
bit cleaner okay to take this apart
looks like we have a couple Phillips
screws on the back
okay I think all we need now is a key
and the follower and we should be able
to get this apart
okay SLOC is definitely ceased seeing
some usage nice and dirty on the inside
got the core out without any issues
okay let's start dumping these pins out
okay spooled outer pin on one standard
on two standard on three spooled on four
and spooled on five okay let me get some
tweezers and get these pins arranged
okay so a little bit gunked-up so
they're giving me some issues coming
apart just take me a moment
okay we got everything apart here now we
just need to arrange them okay let's
look at the pins I'm expecting to see
some spooled outer pins in here
okay spooled inner and outter on one
spooled inner and outter on two by the
way that one on number two is a little
bit unusual
I rarely usually on these you will find
the spooled inner and outer in every
chamber except for two which will have a
standard outer pin but that was not the
case here I don't know if that came that
way from the factory or maybe it was
later pinned up that way this one seems
to have our standard pin in the very
back and we also have a a non multi lock
what a non multi lock spring in the very
back okay he arranged all this and then
we will get a close-up I may actually
take a look at these pins to see if
there is any counter milling in the
driver in the inner key pins that would
catch on the yep we have counter million
there there
okay counter milling in two of the outer
key pins that nut counter milling is
designed to interact with the spooling
on the inner driver pins can make for a
nasty combination but it didn't give us
too much event problem this time okay
let's take a look at these pins okay on
the key pins inner key pins all
standards outer key pins we have three
spooled outer key pins in slots 1 4 & 5
and then standards in slots 2 & 3 and
those standards in slots 2 & 3 have
counter milling on the inside of them
and that helps catch the spooling on the
inner driver pin let me see if I can
give you a close-up of that let's see if
I can get the light just right you'll
probably be able to see a little line on
the inside of that that's that counter
milling or under cut whatever you want
to call it okay let's look at the driver
pins now you can see we have 4 spooled
outer drivers in slots 1 through 4 and
ace in a standard outer in slot 5 and
then each of the inner pins has that
little bit of spooling
that can make it a bit nasty either when
it catches on the counter milling on the
key pin or when it catches on the core
moving over to this core you can see it
looks like a pretty standard multi law
clearly this has been used a lot it's
the UL rated cylinder so we have lots of
drill protection you can see above and
below the keyway we have some hardened
inserts and then in front of the keyway
we have a ball bearing and looks like
that's it
okay so bill thank you so much for all
of these locks I'm getting a package
together to send your way shortly to
