Your device autocorrected the word "look" for the word "lock" in the pinned comment. Figured you would want to know. It isn't unusual on a lockpicking channel.
Would you recommend smiley dimple locks as good looks to start picking dimple locks? If not, what else would you recommend? I have a few Abus but they have pretty restricted keyways and that's no fun when just starting.
@@alexandrezani I have this same question, what did you end up going with Alexandre?
@@DanielReyes-hz1qk Lots of frustration and no success with my Abus. I eventually decided to focus on other things and will return to it later.
😊😊
That poor lock sacrificed for a video.
Very interesting as always.
Thanks for sharing these videos.
It perished so we could all learn. A moments silence...
Really enjoyed this one. A well explained and demonstration of how a smily dimple works! Nice job Ash.
Thanks Gantry!
Great video!!
Interesting locks. 😀
🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾🇬🇧⛄️
Thanks!
Great video Ash mate nice to see inside one of these🇬🇧😎👊👍😊
Thanks Leon, mate!
Thanks for taking the time and effort to reveal the internals of that lock, Ash. Quite a simple mechanism, and relatively low cost to manufacture. The information will help noobs to the type to find their way around them. 🙂👍
Thanks 😊
Your content just gets better and better Lock Noob. Excellent video!
Thanks you!
Been picking for almost 1.5 years, currently working on American 700's even snagged a rare 780. This type of lock looks like a really good starting point to get into dimple locks. I have a few multi lock cores hiding with my medeco's in to "in the future box", I appreciate the video and definitely want to give it a go. Thanks.
Do you have advice on other good dimple starters? The ones I got have restricted keyways and security pins which I definitely cannot do right now...
Thanks, and try a MulTLock garrison, Avocet Pioneer or Iseo R6
Interesting video. I had no idea they were sidebar locks. So, NO security pins and a BIG relief in each pin for the sidebar to slot into. No wonder they're so easy to pick. Although, forty years ago they might have been unusual enough to foil some people, nowadays, the time when they're actually made, these are really junk. It's a pity though, as the ones I have do have hard steel bodies and case hardened shackles. Thankyou for the very informative video though.
Thanks!
well that was much more interesting than i was expecting. thanks for cutting one up for us
Glad you enjoyed it!
Justified sacrifice for sure. Very interesting. Keep up the good work Ash 👍
Will do!
Very thorough explanation. Just what I was looking for!
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing -- I hadn't ever looked inside one of these before -- interesting
You're welcome
very thorough. thanx, Noob
Thanks!
Excellent tutorial on Smiley locks. Very good detail. Thank you 🦊👍
Thanks!
I just love how the key says „lock“ on it XD
lol
Great video. I got given one of these for Xmas so was trying to work out how best to pick it. Never would have realised it had a sidebar. But more interesting to me was the way you can use a shim from the front to reveal some clues about the internals of the lock. Deffo buying some of those.
Yes, shims are a must
What an inspiration! I was finally able to pick mine. Is this video 999? Turn that upside down and you get ... a frown?
It is!
Great information thank you Mr Noob. 😀
Thanks!
i own a very cheap chinese smiley dimple lock and its super tiny. only 4 pins and the key is as tiny as master lock 140 padlock keys. so thanks for the explanation on how these work.
Absolutely brilliant yet again. Really enjoyed that. Obviously you make it look SO blooming easy.
All the very best to you and yours 👍 👍 👍 🍻
And you!
Thank you - great information Mr Noob
Very welcome
thanks so much for interesting video. i sure would like to find and pick one of these types of locks! thanks again
Thanks!
I think you answered a lot of questions with this demo and explanation sir! Awesome job! Thanks so much Ash 👍👍
Any time!
Great teardown! The first dimple lock I ever picked was with a rake because I didn't have any flags yet. I used the curve on it like a flag.
Thanks 🙏
Awesome vid Ash! You gave answers to questions that i did'nt even know needed asking. Take care and have fun.
Thanks Gazz! You too mate!
Thank you for this, very interesting and helpful for a newbie like me!
They don’t look as scary as I thought and now have a good idea what to do :-)
Thanks again and Take Care!
Thanks 😊
You recently asked what our favorite videos are. This could be a strong contender. It's videos like this, full of information that's clearly provided, that make you my favorite resource for learning.
Always a shame to sacrifice a lock but I'm pleases you did as I did not know that. Thanks for sharing, appreciate it muchly🙏🙏
I hate destroying a lock, but I think I got more from it doing this than picking it
@@LockNoob I'd agree, I never knew about the side bars, thabk you again🙏
Excellent video Lock Noob.
I have always wondered if they had 2 sets of pins or not, you've answered my question. This saves me from doing my own surgery on one.
Loved the no nonsense run down on these locks.
Another top quality video, albeit with dirty fingers 🤣.
Thanks and yeas! Very grubby
That was brilliant, thanks.
Great video. I didn't know these were sidebar locks. Now I'm surprised how easy mine were to pick once I figured out a way of tensioning.
Thanks 😊
Good job thank you
Thanks!
Interesting video thanks bud 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
A wonderful presentation, sir. Cleared up a lot of questions for me.
Thanks!
Great video, I picked up a few tips here.
Hi! Great video! Loved the inclusion of dimple locks and pin tumbler in addition to the main feature of the video.
A question to anyone seeing this: Why does almost the entire locksport community refer to the act of putting a rotational force on the plug as "tensioning" with a "tension" tool (instead of "torquing" with a "torque" tool)? I can't seem to find any other discussions of this word choice online, but I'm guessing that maybe someone a long time ago started using the word (incorrect, from a physics point of view) and everyone started doing the same? Thanks for any thoughts that may come from this.
Very nice, thanks!
Never knew there was a sidebar, and no drivers! Does that mean that the inner workings bear some resemblance to Smart Key locks, minus the changeability? Love learning something new every day!
I guess so, yeah!
Great vid thanks pal
Thanks!
Exvellent video. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow wouldn't have guessed it was a driverless sidebar mechanism inside these things. Wonder if that is the standard or not?
It is for most of them :-)
Great video!! Nice to see the inside of one of those.
Glad you liked it!
Extremely well explained. Thank you. How and where can you buy these special tools for my own locks at home
I still always want to call these vampire locks instead of smiley locks... It has the fangs!
Yes, still quite common in the UK but becoming less so
Wow! That was an extremely detailed explanation and very easy to see and understand. If I had no prior knowledge of locks at all, I would still be able to follow you easily.
I bet a dimple lock "Z bar" would work to tension as well as the pry bar.
I have always called those springy tensioner for automotive wafer locks a "Y wrench" and thought the tool you used was for tubular locks.
Those "GOSO" sets are garbage. They are stamped out of some cheap metal that is too soft, the "Y tensioner" is way to thick steel to be able to hold squeezed in one hand for very long. The types of tensioner it comes with do not match the types of picks, and what the @#$& is that wavy flat thing? Some say it's a dimple rake but I can't get it into a dimple keyway.
Don't waste money on it, banggood has a very nice beginner set with optional handles in the same price range that is much more useful.
Thanks for the great comment!
Awesome video Ash really enjoyed that, are you going to do a series covering different types of locks? that would be amazing cos you do it SO well!
I do want to do that for sure!
This was incredibly helpful. I have one that I can pick without much issue but it always feels loose until it opens. Now I know why.
👍👍👍
a sacrifice to the lock gods to appease them
lol
Where is Sparrows new wood handel amazing picks review and giveaway hehehe
Review coming soon!
From those that I owned and saw until now, the bittings and tolerances are terrible. Form me, it was so easy to open them. I consider myself a newbie-intermediate with dimple locks.
Yeah, these aren't great!
i did the same thing with a flat z wrench sticking the small end in the lock and hooking the other end on my thumb and pulling up gently aka good way to get a crap but it works
If it works it works!
❤
3:30 seem u need a thumb ring hook
An excellent video, as always. Thank you.
Thanks!
How can I get those tensioning to let me know how can I get the attention you too
😀
i'd love to see you take look at the less common smiley lock, with the two rows of pins along the edges instead of down the middle, like this czcams.com/video/Em7w0_EyYMc/video.html czcams.com/video/PVv20NzfkRI/video.html. one of the few locks in my collection i have yet to crack.
I think bosnianbill did one of those once. Have a look through his archive.
I think i have one somewhere to pick
