That was awsome picking. Havent seen one of those picked before an i have been wanting to see it. Great description of how it works too. Brilliant video👍
Really nice to see one picked finally👍Awesome job picking it. Your analysis and the rest of the video was very clear and interesting to watch. Thanks a lot of sharing it 👍
There was at least one previous picking. I know CaptainHookNumber1 did it, and I think someone else (who I unfortunately can't remember) did too. I think they took the videos down though and have been advising UrbanAlps on improvements.
Seems like they could improve pick resistance if they could somehow block the sidebar ends of the levers against picking; maybe design the core with two slots so that flat pieces of metal could be inserted from the sides to cover the part of the lever not manipulated by the key? This would prevent your technique of picking from only a single side, meaning you'd need to somehow tension in the middle, or tension both sides temporarily while swapping over? That ought to make the lock substantially harder to pick I think. Anyway, thanks so much for posting this video! Found about these locks from BosnianBill's video but he was reviewing the padlock version, and the core for that doesn't have a clip so he couldn't disassemble it (or at least, didn't want to risk destroying it in the attempt, since he was giving it away in a contest). Good to be able to see closely inside.
Agree. Awesome for key control, it would require an x-ray image to “see” that biting, and there would be overlap if not at the right angle, not very impressionable, and good luck filing. Reminds me of the Australian “BiLock,” but with shrouded key bitting.
Very ingenious of you to make a pick that can pick both left & right "levers" from one side (Stealth Key calls them "rotating steel discs"). Your comment on tension "adjustment" by lifting of pushing down on plug is well noted for precise "finesse" Also well noted the zero, mid, and max lift states -- Would those be easy to detect in a blind pick? Very well explained and picked. CaptainHookNumber1 would be proud of you.
If you know what feedback to look for, the states of the levers are quite straightforward to detect. Zero-lift levers start out in the true gate and pass the wiggle test immediately, mid-lift levers initially bind and click into the true gate, which again passes the wiggle test, and the max-lift levers start in a false gate but will bind solidly once the mid-lifts are set. After that it's just a matter of finding the setting order to get out of the false gates.
Very interesting. I could imagine if they made the angle the key forms larger, they might get a few more bitting heights out of it, but they would need to squash the mechanism at the bottom.
As so often with these exotic locks, it's probably not worth getting for your house, for several reasons: 1) 170€ fo the half cylinder, 190€ for the full cylinder! (at the time of googling) 2) If you lose the key, you're homeless because no locksmith is going to be able to pick that. 3) Any intruder will probably just smash the back window. I'd probably say for a front door, a disc detainer or slider lock will do nicely, something that a locksmith will probably have the tool to pick if needed, but a thief will most likely not have the tool or skills to do so.
Don't know how ìve miss your channel, but just subscribed. This was a AWESOME pick,and a Excellent gutting. This is not a cheap lock, so kudos to you an a great gutting. Did you come up on that thin pick or did you buy it ? Don't know if you have seen my channel thumpers lock picking, but check it out. Great video
Holy... You almost gave me a heart attack when you janked the key out! I expected like 30 parts to just go flying all over the place! Give us a warning next time... xD
Hmmm.. by the look of those rockers, one could do a denial of service attack by taking a small screwdriver and hammer to bend them laterally, rendering this expensive lock useless.

This channel definitely deserves a whole lot more subscribers 👏
Totally awesome picking and explanation!!!
Wow!!!
Really nice to see one picked finally👍Awesome job picking it. Your analysis and the rest of the video was very clear and interesting to watch. Thanks a lot of sharing it 👍

@@DoktorWeasel I also heard it was picked before. I didn't see it before though, and thoroughly enjoyed the detailed video you did about it. Thanks!
Impressive lock, impressive skill to pick and also to disassemble
Awesome video my friend. Very well explained and picked. 😎👍
Excellent picking and explanation on how this lock works. Thanks for this video, cheers

You are so impressive, my dude. Another great video, I don’t know how you do it!
You made that look so easy to pick. I would be pulling my hair out with this lock. Great picking!

@bosnianbill I think this is probably very similar to how the padlock version works but it can be gutted. Pretty cool.
Thank you for the skill and explanation.
Nice lock,and very nice picking,billbo.
Dope video my man. Underrated youtube picker.
That's an amazing looking lock, I really like the key too.... Looks like it would be great to powder your nose too. 🤣🤣
Great video and such a pity this extraordinary key and lock doesn't have more security features
Great pick!

Well done, it seems this lock is excellent no one could pick it in a real world application, they would sooner attack the shackle or lock body.
Incredible picking 😍👏👍

Excelente ganzuado, avía escuchado que eran anti ganzúado y son bastante costosos
Well done.

*"Bowly" is still the beast of locks!*
Looks like a Ingersoll Core from the 60ties..
Holy... You almost gave me a heart attack when you janked the key out! I expected like 30 parts to just go flying all over the place! Give us a warning next time... xD
LOL! You Forgot about the 2 core retaining pins he mentioned early on...
new sub ... thx for the video
Good work mate well done. - Maybe drop BB a comment
I would say the amount of time it has taken professionals to pick this lock, it is going to be "pick proof" by someone of average to low skill.
Hmmm.. by the look of those rockers, one could do a denial of service attack by taking a small screwdriver and hammer to bend them laterally, rendering this expensive lock useless.
Eh..? Or just some glue like any lock.
This would completely eliminate the ability to copy a key from a photograph.
