@@garyhall6294 hi thanks for your patience. I just checked a couple of my Brinks keys and the numbers seem to correspond to the bitting, for example the one for this lock was “2312” and seemed to match. so they won’t help you with your lock unfortunately. Good luck!

@@AmericanPicker83 yeah it’s got a very satisfying pop and slide when it opens 10/10

@@Tipa-fw2rz i might have to gut my Lockwood so that I can progressive pin it. Not looking forward to it.

@@shadroid yeah abusitis. Classic case. 👍

I'm just starting out & finally got my 60/40 open yesterday, what a frustrating lock. I'll try bok as you suggest to see if it picks different next time around. Nicely done

@@shadroid true the feedback is great. I’ve really enjoyed my picking lots of different low level locks so I’m a bit odd in that respect. But yes for most people jumping up to these is good.

@@SeeStuDo cheers. A good milestone one!

@@DaleSander68 Nice. 👍

Nice! Great stuff!

Cheers!

That does sound extra difficult. I sometimes forget about these locks being actually used for... you know... locking things up. :)

Has yours got tough bitting? I haven't touched mine in a while, but after I made this video I got much better at feeling its angle inside and that made it much easier. I think it might be a matter of feel... I've never picked up a rake in my life so I always find it fascinating those locks that are clearly super easy to rake, and the SPP can be very frustrating.

@@every-lock-is-unique2117 Never? Not even once? Like EVER!?

@@every-lock-is-unique2117 Oh man I finally got it. Was being way too heavy handed. I didn't even see you asking about the bitting. Bitting wasnt anything drastic, was purely a skill issue.

@@wolfganggrojcig2528 do you mean the 65? Yes the keyway makes it tougher than the 55. I’ve got some videos of the 65’s coming.

Cheers!

Thanks very much!

Thank you! Abus are quality. I feel slightly bad having so many of them on the channel, but that's just because they're awesome.

Hi, You should be looking to use a .040 thickness top of keyway prybar on this, with a deep hook in whatever thickness you have. I can't remember the binding order on mine, but you should be ok starting from front or back. You'll find one standard pin in there, so you'll need to pick that one first in order to get your false set and start working on the spools. Enjoy!

Yeah that's the way. I'd like to try a couple of new profiles to see how they go, but it's true it can mostly be done with a couple of favourites.

Oh that sounds like a weird mechanism for sure. That would be a interesting one. I think I've only had to pick one lock counter-clockwise before. It's definintely a different feel!

Thanks. I know it's "10 security pins" but I didn't really notice the serrations on the keypins at all. I only remembered afterwards.

Thanks, Yeah I'm a fan of BW and Abus both.

Awesome thanks! :)

Thanks. I'm a bit of a BW fan even though I've picked through most of their catalogue at this point. I hope to pick all the way up to an Alpha if I can get one without bankrupting myself...

@every-lock-is-unique2117 I haven't picked one yet myself, but have liked what I've seen of others picking them! Yeah, it gets pretty expensive real quick lol! I have quite a few locks but no complete series of them! I really like how you've done that in your videos!

What a great talkative lock. Week picked and described!

Firstly, I overset pins all the time, especially when I'm feeling out a new lock I've never picked before... I want to feel what the key pins feel like when they're up past the shearline. If you make it part of your routine you'll start to feel how different they are. You'll also not be able to get back any false set, and all your other pin stacks will go spongey. So there's a few indicators. Try putting more tension. Don't listen to the "least tension possible" advice I've seen around. Give a lock the most tension it can handle... which will be different depending on the lock, the security pins, etc... Then you'll get those real nice clicks and it'll all be more clear.

Thanks very much! :)

Hi there. I was thinking about your question for a while. Do you pick with the lock held in a tabletop vice? So you manoeuver the pick with your left hand right? I don't know of any TOK prybars with teeth on the side, but you would likely benefit from having a larger than average collection of prybars so that you can select the perfect thickness for each lock you try. In my experience, the more snugly the prybar fits in the top of the keyway, the less likely it is to come loose at the worst moment. Good luck!

I use a vice I clamp on a table and is maneuverable. I pick with my left hand and hold the tok with my right index finger. So far, the lock that the tension bar slips out of is the master 570. Am determined though.

Thanks very much. Looking for a 71/40 now. :)

@@every-lock-is-unique2117 Very nice! Can't wait to see it when you do! I love your videos!

That sounds similar, or at least that you had some deeper set spools that need a nudge before starting. i've got a 72/40 I like very much, it's a serious pick too though, like yours.

Hullo, That's .015. I got it from an Aussie pickmaker. Shout out to Bare Bones: bareboneslockpicking.com/product-category/0-15-thickness/

I wish LPL still did some good content like in the early days... My production quality is poor, but I at least try to mention any aspect I find that might help pickers succeed. Good luck with yours!

@@every-lock-is-unique2117 Thanks bro, I appreciate it.

I agree it's quite nice how they've machined it. I sometimes wonder if I've shaken a screw loose in my head - finding a padlock aesthetically pleasing.

I know some people have more fun with these, I think I got an easy one so that's a bit unfortunate.

enjoy.

Yeah I love how I got a surprise even from this little lock. Awesome fun.

Thankyou! Getting my practice in. 😀

Hi. This lock probably is rakeable but I don’t know anything about raking so I can’t really say. Binding is a bit harder on these types of locks in my experience. It must be something about the core binding up a bit. Try using your key to “wiggle” the core counter clockwise a bit, and then start your picking again… or use your tensioner to do it if you don’t have a key. Other than that, you should feel binding normally and you’ll get ok sliding from the standard pins.

@@every-lock-is-unique2117 ok bud,thanks alot. I will give it a try

Cheers! Yeah everyone should have an Abus 55 in their collection.

Strange about your 1-pin. I wonder if they started putting serrated pins in at some stage. Makes a cool lock even better.

Cheers. Do grab one. The 50 is great.

Cheers! It’s a great hobby for while watching tv.

It's definitely a classic.

At first I was feeling embarrassed when I read stories of people popping them so easily, but now I'm just glad I got one of the tricky ones.

@every-lock-is-unique2117 I can understand that! I only have 1 55/40 myself but learned a lot from it picking it in different ways! I do have a Masterlock 930 though that should be easy and I feel embarrassed as well because everyone else pretty much opens there's with no problem. Each lock can have different tolerances and then when biting comes into play, they can pick much differently!

@@thecompguy oh right yeah the 930. Pick it upside down for sure. You might have it picked and not know. Enjoy. And then put a 410 core into it. 😃
