There seem to be 4 unique shapes in 7 wafers here - there are lots of dimensions and shapes going on also - who knew that a wafer lock could be so interesting ? :o) PS - the fast motion dismantle might have been better at normal speed in this case - just a suggestion - there seem to be 7 wafers, but only 6 visible during picking...
Thanks a lot for your comment - I'm always undecided when I should fast-forward. I wanna keep my videos short and entertaining. But yes, in this case it would have been more valuable to have tracked the wafers while pulling them out. It's indeed interesting that they have taken the effort to make these different shapes, must be a hassle to assemble in the factory.
I lost the key to a bikemate wafer lock and I do not have a right picker, just a paper clip and it does not work. Is this due to the paperclip or am I doing something wrong?
No, usually at the back. They usually use a wafer as the locking wafer. It holds the core in when the others are set. That stops the core from being removed by the correct key.

I find it always so helpful to see & understand how the different locking mechanism works. Very helpful video. Have a great weekend.
Cheers and thanks for tuning in - a wafer lock can be quite interesting when being observed while picking.
Very cool one of the best examples I have seen of picking a wafer lock - thank you!
Great video again Michael, my friend, love to watch the wafers while you pick the lock ;o))

Cheers mate - yeah, it's fun to see the wafers moving. Have a nice weekend, too.

Yeah, taking apart things is one of my favorite tasks ;-) Thanks for tuning in.

Yes, love it to get such unusual views - then even a simple wafer lock becomes a bit more interesting.

Nice -- great visuals
Thank you :-)
3:56 nice guitar music :-) Is that you playing Potti? :-)
Haha, that would be nice. All I can play is my radio ;-)
I lost the key to a bikemate wafer lock and I do not have a right picker, just a paper clip and it does not work. Is this due to the paperclip or am I doing something wrong?
Paperclip is weak material and not as good as a regular pick. But of course experience help ;-)
You ended up with 7 wafers, was one hidden at the front ?
No, usually at the back. They usually use a wafer as the locking wafer. It holds the core in when the others are set. That stops the core from being removed by the correct key.
Yes, Gary is right. The 7th wafer could not be see while picking as it was in the back behind the cutout.
