    My dad had one when I was young. He swore by it. It served him well when he had his own mechanic shop near Houston area over 40 years ago. Although the magnetic key had gotten weak over the years, it still works. Thanks for the video and bringing me down memory lane.

    they can totally make keys with adjacent magnets with the same polarity. They can pre-build each individial clover-leaf magnet assembly of the key on silicon molds by the hundreds and just put them into place on the key in whatever orientation they want. They don't need to epoxy in the key itself.

    Magnetic paper cannot alone tell the orientation of a magnet. If you take another magnet and with the paper over the key cancel the field of one set of magnets you can easily tell north from south.

    • @bosnianbill
      @bosnianbill  3 роки тому +6

      Yes, you can certainly see the magnetic field's orientation and interaction between the two magnets, but you CANNOT tell which end is South and which is North. For that, you'll need a small compass (as seen at the top left in the frame). I did not bother discussing how to do it because it was irrelevant to hacking this lock.

    It seems that instead of pulling the shackle to the limit and binding the mechanism over and over, you could pull it half way, wiggle the magnetic fields and let the spring pressure pick it, before pulling it all the way for an open.

    • @bosnianbill
      @bosnianbill  3 роки тому

      Good thought, but the slightest pressure on the shackle pinches the "dancing pins" against that shackle plate, freezing them in place.

  • @Rippafratta
    @Rippafratta Рік тому

    The sad issue with these locks is: after a while, the pins will obviously become magnetized themselves, thus making it impossible to open it, because they interact with each other. You can speed up this process by using a very strong rare earth magnet on the locks. It will magnetize the pins in an instant.

  • @penfold7800
    @penfold7800 3 роки тому

    Interesting. I thought the mechanism was much simpler than that. I took a Gemini magnetic lock key apart once, not the lock. Anyway, it only had 5 magnets that could be oriented either way into 10 holes in a plastic insert in the key. I'm not sure what these locks are meant for, but the metal they're made of needs to be non magnetic, and non shielding. So they don't have any steel or aluminium content. The one I had was cast in a very brittle metal that could be smashed with a hammer, and it didn't have a locking pall on the opening end of the shackle, so it could be easily levered open too

  • @robin888official
    @robin888official 3 роки тому

    I guess there are way to restrict the movement of those magnets when epoxied in the key. Like glueing them in sequentially or holding them down with stronger magnets.
    So that'd give us (6*2)^4 = 12^4 = 2^8 * 3^4 = 256 * 81 = 20480 + 256 = 20736 possible keys.
    I have such a lock (from russian descent) since the 90s when my father bought us two on a flee market for like $2.

    It's a pity there's no significant unused space inside that lock, it would be really awesome if there was a fake conventional keyway on there with pins inside that felt like they were binding when picked but didn't actually turn. Unless you knew it was a magnetic lock you'd go straight to conventional picking and waste a ton of time.
