This is a big help Fish.Iv been struggling with my 1100 I got a few days ago.Iv opened 7 times in the first 2 days but nothing yesterday or today.I will try this technique though👍🏻

Amazingly made lock-picking easy and understandable.

Fish, you did it for me, thank you. I've been trying to open a 4 wheel lockbox for more than a week now (not continuously), then I saw your video and ... make a "decoder" out of a feeler gauge! Well, I have a feeler gauge. So I found one that fit, not snugly, but not loosely - 13mm (15mm was just a bit snug). I put the feeler gauge in at the left side of the first wheel - then just marked the gauge (along the top of the wheel). Moved it one to make sure that 0 wasn't the first digit. 3 wheels later and ... no. I got the number (and wrote it down the SECOND time), but the box wouldn't open! So I started decrementing all 4 wheels by 1, trying, decrement by another 1, try ... eventually it opened. (I have no idea why I chose the number I did. Now it's set to 0000, until I need it again. So thank you.

12pc broken key extractor kit online for a few bucks does the job very well. Slight modification to one or two of them and you now have a full set with varying gauges down to 0.15mm.

Where did you get your giant lock model? It’s brilliant

I made one of these using a nail file.

That was fantastic. Now alls I need is the name of the clamps you used in the video oh! And where to buy them.. Thank you.. Robbie from huyton Liverpool UK 🇬🇧

Best video I've been able to find on the subject.

You have a link to some of your picks you use?

I'm handicapped and have been using a regular table vice for 2 months. just recently got the table panavice along with the super clamp. Would love to find a way to mount it to my powerchair. Currently I have to sit at a table to pick.

Applying tension as you normally would to open a standard lock will not work as you need to apply tension to the control sheer line only . other wise you will only be able to pick the lock open . You described two sheer lines in your vid . How can you apply tension since the second sear line is not accessible by using your tension wrench .

What alloy of steel are quality wiper blades made from? (alloy number would be particularly invaluable). Given that information, it is easy to get the details for heat treatment. Heat treating is not difficult. It would lead to less breakage when twisting the metal. You would then treat the metal to a desired flexibility and/or hardness,

I wish I could like this more than once. I’m nowhere near picking an 1100 yet, but I love the methodical approach and realizing that it’s okay to take things apart first when you’re learning. What a great explanation. Thank you!

I got three acrylic locks with my set. I can get two of them in less than five seconds with rakes but the third (the exact one in the video) I can't manage to get with anything (TOK/BOK, adjusting tension, trying different picks, etc).

Good tip. It would be even better if we knew the size of the material used. My wiper material is 1.2mm thick by 3.8mm wide and it seems a bit too thick?

Can this lock still be found? I found a bunch of similar (but probably different) locks on amazon and ebay with vastly different prices (from 10 Euro up to 80+). How do I know which is the one where the pins are easily swappable?

My 1100 has identical key 🤯 what are the odds of that?

Thanks for the great level of detail in this video! I'm considering the Sparrows progressive set and reload kit but wasn't really sure how to replace the normal driver pins with spool/serrated/mushroom pins.

Just a thought? Could you not cut them out of canned food lids?

I just got the Vegas 4 pack on 5_1-24. I had same problem

This is one of the best explained video I have come across. Very informative. Thinking about investing in a Lish tool.

Great video. I can pick the 1100 but it takes forever. I’ve pick two different 1100’s twice. The paclock 90a pro is super easy. 14 second pick on it. 100’s of times. I am still trying to figure out why the 1100 is so hard.

Thanks! Super easy to pick if you understand whats happening with it

What size is the hole you have drilled?

Você é o cara,Tem facilidade pra micha o cadeado.

Is SC4 or KW5 for ordinary european locks? Cant find that information anywhere

Listening with earphones on the music is too loud and distracting.

Inspirational. Opened 4 locks my first week and now stuck. Your advice is well taken so am doing something else and then going back. Keep the faith and keep the videos coming. Thank you!

This is the best advice I've seen yet, instantly increased my ability to "feel" what was is going on, thanks for sharing!

I was able to decode my M175 MasterLock using the method outlined here. I did not have a thin metal probe so I had to use the alternative method at 5:15 on the video timeline mentioned in the video for each of the four dials. I'm very happy!!! Thank You

Best video I have found on spool pins

How important/valuable is it to work from the back of the stack as opposed to the front for a beginner? Thank you for a very helpful video!

Cut an energy drink can open to make my tool and got right in. Thanks!

Great video! Thank you.

Excellent job, but you should invest in stainless steel shim stock. Of what ever thickness you want. I’d also suggest using micro machining these to shape. Easily done and inexpensive.

Very informative video and good production quality. Crazy/sad that you have so few views/subs!

What’s would recommend more, the sparrows progressive lock system or the covert instruments training lock that is all of these in one system?

I've just found your videos and am well pleased. Ive been a fan of LPL and Bosnian Bill for years and have been looking for other vids. Lock Noob and a few other have nice vids. Now you're on my list of locksporters as well!

I'm handicapped and my life at 67 as a nerd is a bit dull. I've always been interested in lock picking so I'm waiting on my first sparrow kit along with a vice to hold my practice lock as my right hand is a bit uncooperative. I did pick one lock with 2 paper clips about twenty years ago for a friend that locked herself out, was amazed it worked. I also suspected it was a cheap deadbolt! Please keep the videos coming. TY

What’s about Covert Instruments CI training lock? Which one is the best since that one came out?

I write novels. When writer's block hits, i see it as a push to live more experiences for more writing material. #2 in this list is what brought me to locksport. I have acquired a number of odd hobbies and skills over the years. ETA: I love your philosophical approach to lock picking. I just subscribed. Keep up the great work.

Great video. Sadly this channel hasn’t posted in 2 years

Look I need help or it might be too late. I picked 3 different 1100 American Locks and I spun them the wrong way and they are stuck. The key only goes in a very little. Is there a way to fix it or am I F-ed

Thank you so much for sharing.

I got locked out of the office today, and our "spare key" ended up being the control key.... so all i had to do was use tweezers or a screwdriver to turn the prongs? :[

Yeah I cannot agree with the rest of you more this guy Mr Fish is an amazing teacher the way that you explain everything and go through all of your processes in detail is so understandable and relatable to the same questions and problems that I have ran into personally and I feel like if you were my sex ed teacher I would already have some videos out with Riley Reid . Lol keep up the good work do you have another channel where you were making any kind of instructional videos on anything else

Excellent demonstration. New sub.

Searched for "homemade tension wrench" and this was the first video shown. So your Google-fu is working. Do you have a video that shows when to use the tail of the tool instead of the head?

had mine open in 5 minutes. First video I found for this model and it was excellent. Thanks!

Really miss your content, Fish!
