i m 12 years late 🥲

Very helpful. Getting a good enough shim was the issue. No security tags like that available to me. I used foiled pills plastic edge (The kind you pop out, perfect thickness and rigidity)

Thanks for the video. I have picked a lot of locks, but I picked up an American Lock series 1205 and am on that struggle bus with using rakes. Can it be done using any rake? Thank you for your time!

That didn't really explain Masterkeying??? You showed how 32 different keys could open that lock (when all you want is two) but didn't explain how a single master-key can open dozens of otherwise unique locks

I purchased a number of the I-Beam type Fichet locks around 1985, still have them, a few Cam Locks as well as a Heavy Duty Rim Cylinder. They hit the US market around the same time as the DOM Dimple Key locks here in the US. Not sure, but I think I recall NJT using the DOM locks on receptacles in the Hoboken Station back in mid 80's. But then both companies just disappeared from the US market. I recall watching a documentary located somewhere in the UK on a sanatorium, using Fichet locks on every door. Again, 1980's. Very, very tough to find those Fichet locks now a days. Every now and then I pull those locks out to have a look. I purchased both the DOM and Fichet from a sales Rep that stopped in once a month with new items for sale. He handled a lot of non US products that were hard to find back then. Name of the company was, Landersman Group, long gone. Still have all my DOM Dimple locks as well. Wish I had purchased more of both lock types.

Where did you go to get your picks?

Boost the audio.

Great video. It would be nice if I see a dimple key impressioning... Not only the foil impression but also an actual dimple key made by hand

Can somebody tell me what file he was using.

Why make them? They are not that expensive to buy?

I'm too high to comprehend this

I remember when i was 7 one of the maintenance men left their key in the lock as when they did maintenance on our neighbors place so i yoibked it before they noticed and at the time i never thought about it but nothing happened it worked because i tested it at our door never used it other than that but they never changed locks or alerted anyone so they basically endangered the entire complex

Sooo how do you pick it

Clear as mud

What type of lock would this be is a safe of some sort

Holy smokes you're alive

Perfect! nuff said.

It's sorta baffling that locks really haven't moved on much despite them being compromised.

Thanks, found this old videos because it's in McNally's playlist. Nice

I just tried to rake a lock with a very high cut spikes, and it stucked dead in my lock and it took me over 30 minutes to manage pulling it out with some other tools and exactly knowledge of what just happened, it turned out that the first spike of the rake went far behind the pins cuz i was doing it with strength, not precision, and because of the high cut rake build I couldn’t just pull it out by turning it a little bit upwards, so, if youre already doing it, make in gentle, without brutality and push that thing too deep in😏 i tried it after that with wery low force and opened it within 5 sec, anyway, im 100% sure if that happened with a one-sided rake it would be much easier to handle this issue, does anybody know why they put 1 or two spikes at the other side?

In case somebody is reading this these days, you should look at the work of CZcams channel "idanhurja". That's another Finnish guy with very creative DIY picks that can open Abloy Classic, Abloy Exec, Abloy Profile, Abloy Easy and Abloy Sento which he openly demonstrates. He also has some videos about Protect but as far as I know, he hasn't yet accomplished blind picking Protec even though he has create a tool that should make it possible. He also put together Abloy Classic handback style lock with Abloy Exec parts inside, which I think was pretty cool hack.

30:17 very sad that no one laughed at that joke, i thought it was funny

Was just reminded of the money I lost on the kickstarter project and your complete failure to even attempt to communicate what happened to everyone who gave you $90k.

Watching this old video while putting together a Southern Specialties order, and sure enough he's using their picks.

💜💚❤️

I had no idea that masterkeying weakens locks. That’s pretty cool, thanks for the good vid

Hi Master 👍🔓💯 Very very good video you made. Good information about this platform of the p.lock I make tool for this cylinder and another profile. Not easy but very interesting 😉. Good luck Master 👍🔓💯

Very good

Great to see you posting again!

♥️♥️♥️

Schuyler just dropping off facts to the locksport world so we are aware of the amazing information some great creators have out there! Artichoke videos are so full of information that I can't stand missing a word and often watch multiple times 🤘

Historical facts, technical details, actual picking, what's not to love? As an aside, "pick proof," I fu**ing want one now!

Good to see you back, Yeah I been an Artichoke2000 follower for a while. Can't go wrong with viewing his vids if I can't sleep.

Wow Some of this stuff is a work of art . Definitely intimating

Okay for a bit of context… Schuyler Towne’s lock picking videos were the first videos that I watched that got me into locksport. He is the reason I exist in this domain and my content is in a way a direct result/continuum of his work. Anyone that views Schuyler’s videos can instantly recognize and feel his infectious love for locks. It is absolutely surreal to have him talk about me in this manner. I am beyond honored at the beautiful things you are saying and I am blessed to have you as a friend.

Good to see you buddy, can tell your on Paternity leave as looking from top half of your body, looks like your the breast feeder 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 Great to see you again Schuyler 👍👍

Dude! You have "Never Tease A Weasel" in the shelf! You are a legend! Why you should never tease a weasel is a lesson I learned early in life, and have always carried with me.

Thanks for the recommendation, the clips look promising. I don't know if I'll sub yet, but I'm definitely checking out his channel. Meanwhile sounds like life is GREAT for you right now, I'm HAPPY for you.

attended one of your seminars at RVAsec back in the day. Fun time, and great atmosphere. Glad to see you're well and congrats on the kid!

Hey, it's that lockpicking guy. Glad to see you're doing well.

took me 10sec staring at the channel name before remembered: Ahhh... it's the locksmith channel I haven't heard from for like a decade ;)

BABE, HURRY, NEW SCHUYLER TOWNE VIDEO JUST DROPPED! Also, great video, as always.

You're alive!!!1 :0)

A couple things on this to straighten out. A fly in a combination is a part that can move separately from the wheel it is attached to. They are found in locks like the S&G 6730 and LaGard 3330. When the part doesn't move separately it is called a pin, dead pin drive pin and probably other names as well. Dead fly works for me. Secondly that lock is even more interesting than you know. I recently manipulated on open and it turned out a little more difficult than what you might imagine. Depending on the dial rotation the fence can shift its location in relation to the wheels. I found this on closer inspection after getting the lock open. Effectively adding quite a bit more time at least until you understand what is happening.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this story. Seriously, I watch this video atleast once a year. Seriously... 10+ years... and I still watch this.

So after reading the pros and cons of a master key... Does it make a difference if you ar using a regular lock versus a high security lock such as a Medeco?

Should've stayed in your hole, thief.

Thank you, youre a wonderful teacher!

For a master key to work, you’d only need one pin, no? Or if you needed a few different types of masters you could have 2 pins and 3 master keys, 3 pins and 7 masters etc
