When you described the mechanism of this lock, I was impressed. "How clever that is!" At last, LPL has met his match. hahhahah! I should have known I was just being absurd. Well, once again, Sir- You have amazed me.
that is true! It does make you wonder exactly how LARGE the balls will be of the bloke who next attempts to pick a Banham lock in some Posh house in London?? Its possible, but feck-me im not sure i want such a tricky target.
Great video as usual. As a machinist I’m looking at the two rows of dimples on the key vs one line of pins facing each other so I theorize. Perhaps the looseness of the pins is required for it to work. You see when you have a pin like that it will wobble in the straight pin hole, this allows for opposing pins to twist up to or down to one line of dimples. This in turn would allow them to travel deeper into the cylinders thereby clearing the shear line. IF you were able to hold them perfectly facing each other tip to tip I don’t think they would clear for the lock to open. I wish I could get one to try my theory.
I realize this is an old comment, but I'll respond anyway... If I'm understanding you correctly, you are mistaken in your theory. The pins are facing each other and are parallel with one another they do not twist. They meet tip to tip. The specific key profile (the notched square shoulder) on this key tells me it is an older cylinder, and so, any play in the lock is likely a result of the cylinder's age. It is not intentional. The opposed dimples are only ever interfacing with one row of dimples at any one time. The second row is only so that the key can be inserted in either of 2 orientations (180 degrees apart). If you look at the depth of the dimples, where one is deep-cut, the one on the same side in the other row is a very shallow cut and vice-versa. This is because the total length of both pins must be around the same length as the inner diameter of the outer housing (minus some tolerance of course). I would happily answer any question you may still have about these Banham cylinders. It is a fascinating design, though apparently not one that is very secure. Whoops.
Hi lockpickinglawyer, can you let me know which locks you have failed to pick or at least which make and model appears to take you the longest or is the 'most secure'? Thanks!
Great picking LPL! I have an SPP video of this lock. It's not too bad, although certainly not as fast as the raking you showed. The pin that binds is the pin that's stuck in the shear line, so you have to find the binder and pick its opposing partner while bouncing on and off tension. When both pins clear the shear each will be slightly springy or "soft" to the touch. In theory the pins need to absolutely touch in the middle in order to clear the shear line, although in practice you do have room to get a very thin dimple flag in there without interfering with the process. I used a drastically modified flag from the SouthOrd dimple setup.
Did you notice that there was a tiny ball bearing on the tray? It was there already so it didin’t come from this lock. Anyway, I’ve been watching LPL for some time now and have learned truly much and have saw locks which are from outer space. I’m proud to be a Finn because even LPL has stated that Abloy is very good lock. And it is very easy to rekey which is a huge advantage.
Just out of interest. Freeze frame at 0.20. All depths appear to be the same, the only visible difference is the second row on the right, looks like a larger diameter cut. Is this lock a Banham demo lock as I've seen a lot of these and never with so many similar cuts. Just an observation, still the opening is very impressive. This is one of those openings most locksmiths in the UK dread, cylinders are not cheap either. Liking the videos, clear, concise and well explained. Cheers, Sid
Can you tell us why there are two rows of holes on the key when there is only one row of pins for each side of the key? Or is the key double-sided? Also, why is there a gap between the 2nd and 3rd key pin slot? I didn't notice anything obvious on the barrel core that would require it, unless there was some anti-drill material inside the core.
I have the feeling, that the cone top of the pins allowed the raking to begin with. They allowed the rake to slide between the pins and thus wiggle them left and right. If the pins touched each other without having a cone tip, the picking would be much harder since the rake probably could not randomly get between them that easily.
@LockPickingLawyer, you should attempt to pin-pick this Banham lock. I'm curious if it had tighter tolerances, would you have been able to pick it or rake it.
This lock should be called "the Predator". Hommage to Francis Ngannou. It reminded me of hyped fighters, looking so intimidating yet they flop so hard on the real test. Sir, you Stipe'd that lock
The lock was able to rake because he got lucky with the key. Not to say locks like that are not out there but this one was lucky. The 1st two pin stacks are a Center cut meaning you don’t need to pick them. The back 4 are all the same cut (stack 5 I see minute difference). Still required some skill to rake it but I would love to see any I have be raked!
Wish I knew this before the locksmith broke his drill in the cylinder and smashed my toughened glass window to get inside in the end! The replacement cylinder and new keys alone cost nearly £200 to replace...then of course there was the cost of the window!
If I understand what you mean by the key allowing the pins to touch and clear the casing, what keeps you from turning the cylinder without the key. Also curious about why the key has two rows of cuts instead of one.
Nice approach to opening the lock. Can you tell what your initial approach was and attempts to pick prior to an internal inspection? But a vey cool lock. HG.
I have a Banham locks on my front door. It cost me about $1000 and I bought them because I was told these are virtually unpickable. I should have checked this video...
What is a great lock to purchase to make harder to pick/bump in the USA or fit a USA door if not made in America? Can you provide me with online shopping address or how to find?
They have a patent on the key / lock which means only they can copy keys. They also have the homeowners details on file and will only make a duplicate key with a lot of I.D and it needs to be done in person at one of their stores.
Hey man. I'm new to pinning and I have a few questions. I'd really appreciate if you could answer them 1. Do driver pins all have to be the same length 2. Is there a physical difference between key pins and driver pins 3. Is there a point in putting spools as key pins or should they be mainly kept as drivers 4. If there is a difference between key pins and driver pins what differences is there
Aran Kearns I'll take pity, but hopefully your questions have already been answered through your own research, because that's the best way to learn. 1. No, but it doesn't matter at all provided that the driver pin does not fully embed in the bible when extended. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. Any variation at all on either side of the stack will (generally) increase the difficulty, or at the very least change the feel of the lock. 4. Key pins are usually conical on one end, the end that faces towards the key, while both tips of the driver pin are typically flat. Both pins are flat in the center where they meet to not have potential pin rotation introduce any keying failures, while the keypin is conical on the exterior to minimize key wear and tear, and minimize required key insertion force.
Oh, and your driver pins have to also be short enough to allow the shallowest of key cuts to pass through it. If you put in an excessively long pin stack in the first chamber, but key pin 2 is very short (hence a high ridge on the key), you'll find yourself unable to insert the key all the way.
DrSid42 Presumably, the pins are aligned slightly offset from the center of the bible to allow you to insert the key in either direction. In other words, if you hold the key vertically as if inserting it, the top row on one side is identical to the bottom row on the opposite side.

@@lockpickinglawyer I have this exact Banham lock and that ball bearing is the reason why my lock has become very difficult to turn as the core gets stuck on the ball bearing when trying to initially turn the key. I’m thinking to spray some dry lubricant into the little hole from the outside where you can see the ball bearing, but not sure if the spray will make it’s way down the hole to coat the ball bearing sufficiently, or whether I need to take the lock apart (like you’ve done here) to clean it up and properly lube it. I fear I may not be able to put it all back together again 😬
LockPickingLawyer I don't know much about locks, but this seems like a good idea. Think of a plate at the back of the cylinder with a pin or two in it. Even with tension and all the pins aligned, the lock still wouldn't open until the spring loaded plate was pushed in. Backplate pins could be spooled and holes milled for the ultimate false set. I love it!
They’re called detents and resist the rotation of the core unless they’re depressed or otherwise overcome. I think the most recent one I saw was on a kryptonite cylinder lock.
I know you said it was from richard in the uk, but i swear i saw you take this lock from bosnian bills naughty bucket. At least it was the same type of key

Very interesting lock, but given that the pins have to touch in the centre it leaves us with merely a 6 pin lock in effect (if the pins touch, only one side is able to protrude into the housing). I can see you SPP'ing this fairly easily with a certain technique. (Gotta go check now, it's been over 3 years so I'd imagine you managed this a good while ago also.
certainly like a padlock, its easier to do locked intoa vice, in a quiet environment than outside flapping about worryinf you you are going to get caught, but proves a point, its pickable
sort of cheating, If you have to stop, disassemble a tanks armor, analysis its thickness and composition, rebuild the whole vehicle then go at it and 'defeat" its armor by attacking a minor weakness that would never be exploitable otherwise does that mean the armor is penetrable?
yes, especially if you know the type of tank it is and can purchase one for yourself so that you can analyze the armor at home, then take that knowledge to the real enemy tank.
Back when the videos were instructional. Since he doesn’t explain technique anymore, idk why he doesn’t just do locks like the Medeco 4 or the offset tubular locks, or things like the nix pix etc. wish freedom of speech wasn’t so halfway these days.

I mean wide open as in, that the key on this lock has no profile and the keyway has no obstructions whatsoever.
with a profile this might get better.
fair enough, yes, this lock could be improved, but so could so many, i guess price
sort of cheating, If you have to stop, disassemble a tanks armor, analysis its thickness and composition, rebuild the whole vehicle then go at it and 'defeat" its armor by attacking a minor weakness that would never be exploitable otherwise does that mean the armor is penetrable?
yes, especially if you know the type of tank it is and can purchase one for yourself so that you can analyze the armor at home, then take that knowledge to the real enemy tank.
