Wow i have a been a subscriber and fan for 3 years now. After watching this video it is very clear you don’t get enough credit for how vastly improved your videos and skills have came. This video feels like you’re being educational, were as your current videos, feel like I’m watching passion!
@LockPickingLawyer I have watched many of your videos and only in these early ones do you talk about counter rotation, and I notice when you're describing this you are lowering your tension until you get the pin set. You also talked about a false set in video 6 on pin 6 which you kept going back to after setting another pin as it 'relaxed'/reset I think. If you have any videos/tutorials describing exactly why & what you did, or rather why you went back to that pin after each set please point me to them, if not could you do a video/tutorial. I am new to this and love these tactile puzzle boxes. It was all spools I think on your 6th video. Thanks for a new hobby :)
You need to get some more knowledge on how lockpicking works. Its enough for you to just search some tutorials on youtube that explain it so you get the understanding of how the pins make the picking harder, how to feel for that and how to get out of it.. For example the spool pins.. If you push on it and get trapped in the spool pin on the shear line it will pretty much sound and feel the same as you would set the pin right but of course you wont be able to turn the cylinder as you are trapped in the spool.. So if you see that no pin else does bind, you can be pretty sure that you are trapped in a spool or other kind of trapped pins.. Now the important part.. As you would now test out the different pins and press on them, the one with the spool that is trapped will give you counter rotation on the cylinder, which you will feel on the wrench.. If you understand how a lock works you will immediately understand the logic, its simply because when you press on the specific pin if will try to push on the spool but as its trapped in the shear line, it will give a force against the rotation that you actually want.. So at that point the lockpicker knows its a spool, serrated pin or mushroom and now you would need to losen your tension a bit and press on the pin so much that it can get out of the spool and then click in the right position.. So it will counter rotate a bit and then rotate back in the right direction when it snaps in the right place.. And as only these trap pins will give you this counter rotation, you knoe it gotta be it and cant be anything else beside one of these several trap pins.
Sorry if you've covered this is a video already, but it would be nice for a total novice and lock curious like me to know what the difference between standard, spool, various metals etc of the internals do. Please link to it or if you know of good content for it. I stumbled across one of your newest videos about a week ago and you've sparked some curious interest in locks. It seems fascinating and you make great content so I've started feom video # 1 and might watch them all now...
l0ckcr4ck3r Thanks... love my new tray! Interesting thought on #5... if it is an anti bump pin, it doesn't work. BB has a video of bumping this lock (if memory serves, it's mistakenly identified in the description as a EC850).
+a.b.c. Define "lock picking." I don't mean to be funny. If you mean, picking the pins such that the core turns, then yes, it can still be picked. If you want to make the cam mechanism rotate, then it depends on the type of cam mechanism. But for many (most?) euro profile cylinders, my guess is that an inserted key on one side would prevent rotating the cam via picking on the other side (I've never tested this). Of course, leaving the key in may open you up to "thumb turn" type bypass methods.
A bit late to the party on this one but I pick locks as a hobby but also for legal work applications. Every time there’s been a key the other side, I’ve been able to rotate the outer core but not engage the cam, so the door’s remained locked. I’ve come across some euro cylinders also where you need to leave the pick or other lever in the length of the core after it’s picked, otherwise it won’t engage the cam. Probably not an intentional security measure but something to keep in mind if you do this for other legal applications and not just as a fun hobby.
The shape of the keyway is of no importance here. The key opens on the sides, by dropping the pins into the dimples, shallow indents, in the solid metal. My Lips Octro lock has a rectangular keyway, the key itself is a flattened hexagon. If burglars spot it, they know only brute force may help them out.

this feels like an entirely different dude
Watch his hands and fingers.. Here they still are lawyer-like. In the 500plus video's his hands got rougher and thicker with all kinds of marks.
No way I thought these videos were gone forever, I’m so glad to rewatch walk of these.
There’s that outro we know and love

Very nicely picked Sir and a real pleasure to watch. Still love the pinning try, looks fantastic.
waddac2 Thank you.
5:28 That's the most serious pins I've ever seen!!
Nice! That gutting/repinning apparatus is very cool!
***** Thanks... Sometimes trolling DHGate for things I don't need pays off.
He's so... Soft spoken in the early videos. Like he's trying not to wake someone up.
i know i love it

The Pinning Tray looks even better when its in use! Also the top of pin 5 might be an attempt at a bump stop pin :/
l0ckcr4ck3r Thanks... love my new tray! Interesting thought on #5... if it is an anti bump pin, it doesn't work. BB has a video of bumping this lock (if memory serves, it's mistakenly identified in the description as a EC850).
As always, you are the man!
I want a pinning tray like that - even though I will probably never disassemble/rebuild a lock!
hi if there is a key inserted on the other side of the cylinder do you think it prevents it from lockpicking ? thanks

The key way looks like a dollar sign though $
The shape of the keyway is of no importance here. The key opens on the sides, by dropping the pins into the dimples, shallow indents, in the solid metal.
My Lips Octro lock has a rectangular keyway, the key itself is a flattened hexagon. If burglars spot it, they know only brute force may help them out.
@@frutt5k I mean yea but I was merely stating how it looked
Cool
So, by the looks of it, would you say that this unit isn't that good?
Waw. Amazing!
8 down! The rest to go!
would you say this is a good lock for 10euros (12USD)? I now have ISEO R6.
