Not sure why people would be disappointed. I like watching them to see how secure locks are. This one is a win in my book, don't need to see all of it. It shows that it won't be picked anytime soon with current methods.
Some guy already has picked one 8 months ago. He didn't have much of a problem with it. But, it has to be picked 3 times. 2 sides, 1 side, 1 side. When will lock makers figure out...If the pins can be tensioned, the lock can most likely be picked.
@@MrDLRu I don't think it's meant to be unpickable. I think it's meant to be extremely difficult. The main point of this core is that you can't just snap a picture of the key and make a copy.
That 3d printing technique is used by a company in Canada to make intricate parts for HIGH PRESSURE ALUMINUM CASTING at extreme temperatures. That key will probably be alright.
To be fair, even plastic FDM can be made a lot more durable than people assume. 4 perimeters with a 0.4mm nozzle +40% gyroid won me a bet when a 3 kg hammer failed to destroy or even noticeably damage a printed stepladder leg tip.
Looks like sintered metal printing, which is really awesome! I was lucky enough tto get a pit tour with an F1 team, and they used 3D printing to make replacement parts for their cars.. And it immediatly trigged my 'I want one!' response.. Until they told me the cost, which was a LOT of $$$. I still have a plan to set up a machinist training facility with this kind of printing to make parts for people.
I think this is actuall Swiss firm. At least headquaters is there and there is branch in Czech Republic. And the lock itself is 'logically' made in Sweden. ;)
It looks like a Swiss firm all the way through, but, names of people behind the company in About Us on their websites are mostly Czech. Definitely interesting business cooperation on such a niche market as high security locks are.
Jiří Komoň it's really weird. One of the founders is Swiss, born and bred, while the other is Spanish but studied in Switzerland. There's also a Swiss, Regula Buob who isn't mentioned on the about us page but is listed as the president of the board of directors. It looks like maybe a couple of guys in Switzerland had an idea and got a bunch of Czech folks to develop and sell it?
It's a standard lock body from Sweden, engraved with the Urban Alps brand. That lock body accepts any Scandinavian style door cylinder, so Urban Alps bought some empty padlocks and installed their own door cylinders before selling the combined product as their own
It's not too surprising. Many, even small, companies work across borders in Europe and although Switzerland isn't in the EU it has multiple agreements that allow very easy cross border working.
Now that they are 3D Printing actual rocket engines I feel toughness is not automatically void for printed parts. I expect things will all the faster get both weird and innovative for locks in the next few years.
As well as ship propellers for massive ships and all maintenance parts using fused filament fabrication - basically a mig welder attached to a CNC machine.
Yeah "3d printing" with metal is a completely different process that what we normally look at as 3D printing, and TBH they should come up with a better term for it.
@@kidthorazine The correct term for one method is DMLS, Direct Metal Laser Sintering. It's a fine metal powder that is spread, lasered, and then repeated layer by layer. It's been tested to be as strong as similar casted/forged parts with the advantage of having very complex shapes for weight saving (Koenigsberg gives some credit for their 1:1 power/weight ratio to the tech). If I had to guess, these keys are done using that method.
Well Bill, after watching these videos forever and debating getting into the hobby, I've decided to finally order a quality set. I've got myself a Sparrows Night School + tuxedo edition. Can't wait to try picking for myself. Thanks so much for making these videos, it's great entertainment and I am sure you are helping people discover a hobby they never would have thought of.
Bill has stepped back but I hope your hobby is going well & that you're enjoying your locks. You made some good choices and I hope they're bringing you pleasure. Stay well.
Hey bill, so you got one yourself and I am glad you did! Too bad you couldn't pick it but that is what expected of a high security lock such as this one. Thanks also for mentioning me :) I will try to get my hands on a cutaway to make a more detailed review of how the locks works. Your friend, Adrian
Wow....I love how strong the key is! I was one of the ones who thought 3D printed keys couldnt be that strong. Thanks for showing us how the key took that damage. Send this guy straight to the naughty bucket. First lock of this type I've seen.

Very cool lock Bill. I am impressed that you would completely Muller a key to see whats under the hood. As soon as you said Dremel I thought,oh, he's going to grind away the name side. Nope. I was wrong. Lol Cheers for the videos, really enjoy them !
What a lock! As much as i want to see all the insides of every lock, if you have to destroy it in order to make me happy, just don't . It's a beautiful lock, and i'll figure out how to pick one like it, eventually.
I have a theory Bill. The pins engaged by the bitting on the key slide on an arc, essentially rotating. They are cammed surfaces, which are engaging pins in the central bar they are rotating in to.Those cammed sliders are pushed into specific orientations to move the actual pins to the correct orientation. Sort of like the cammed sliders are key bitting themselves on the pins. Basically double bitting, on the key itself, and then the cammed surfaces of those sliders engaged by the key bitting, to become bitting on the actual tumbler pins, which are actually located axially in the centre of the tumbler. Maybe double pinned? However you want to say it. Such an arrangement would give very little feedback if manufactured to the tolerances needed for everything to move so smoothly. That's a guess based more on my training in mechanical engineering than anything lock related. I'm rubbish at locks. Understand the mechanics, but lack the feel to pick them.
I really like your work here. We learn a lesson from gimmick locks like this. Namely that they all rely on obscurity for their security. The Bowley is tragically vuln, as is the "Forever" lock, and all the various "pick-proof" and "bump-proof" locks we've seen come out over the years. I call them, "Smaug Locks."

@@kylek29 Looking at the cutaway you can see why it is so hard to get, due to the key design, the leeway you have to get a pick through the low pins it just over 1-1½ mm. That is not giving you much maneuver room.
The tensioning tool ordinarily rotates the lock innards, but the way you were using it in this video it could not possibly rotate the innards, it was only attempting to push the core off its axis, which of course it could not. Maybe a custom spanner like a fork that would fit in the two slots would be able to apply the rotational torque needed...but then the darn slots are obscured for your picks. Maybe a tapered cone that would fit in the gap, and a lever to rotate the cone might be able to rotationally tension the innards. My own ignorance is wide-ranging and deep, and I really like your videos. Thank you for them.
i would hazard a guess and say there is a spring loaded mechanism near the back of the lock that prevents the core turning without a key fully inserted. apply slight tension and put a pick to the back of the keyway and press if you get slight rotation on the core yeh thats it but may need some pins to be set for that to happen maybe grow a third hand :D
I'm sure you thought of it but I think some Schlage locks had a button basically at the end of travel for the key that made it so the core didn't do anything if it wasn't pressed. Could be why you can't get any binding.
I wonder if they 3D printed the whole core, I know that you can 3D print with many materials some with multiple heads to print with different materials at the same time, you could print the lock body with the key inside it and use a water soluble material in between to have perfect alignment and tolerances and the water soluble material around all the moving pieces too.
I imagine that's what the serial number and code on the plastic card is for to order spare keys, but I get what you're saying you can't go down to the local hardware store and have one cut. I'd like to see someone attempt a mould casting of the key but I'd imagine the tolerances would be difficult to get just right to make it work.
@@Anderson_808 you'd most likely have to cast it in silicon directly and use a decent strength resin in order to extract the finished product. With no guarantees extracting the original key won't ruin the bitting
WoW! This is one of the very few times I've seen you review a lock and not find a flaw in the design. I'm thinking the shank looks cutable ,unless its Unobtainium ! 😉
If you buy this lock, you'll sacrife security against opening attempts by force for being basically lockpicking proof (even if Bosnian Bil or some other high skilled lock picker finds a way, a regular thief won't know about it). That might be interesting for lock enthusiast but I don't think it makes much sense for actual use as breaking by force is far more common. You'll get a padlock with a thicker shackle and shackle guard (and an average lock) for the same price.
Checked Urban Alps web-site. They sell cutaway locks. Mega-expensive. (They actually also recommend to "lube" moving parts of a pad lock with WD40!? ) BTW, that Anchor lock body isn't cheap, isn't cheap at all. The cylinder and lock combination actually has an attractive price-point in my humble opinion. The same body with an ASSA SCD pin-tumbler (I have a couple of those combinations) costs about the same.
I really like your locklab Intro. The 3D logo and bright colors are pretty cool. Must have taken a bit of effort and time to make that. Almost forgot... HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
When I first saw these; my immediate response was, "Those are going to be expensive". I'd like to know if these will catch on, and how long they'll actually stick around...
What a monster keyway and bidding,no tool will work on it,first time you could not get an open,scary to think all my tools are for nothing,someone figure it out please,cheers Mal in BC
Morning, Bill. There's another video here on youtube where around the 5-minute mark a "cut away" is featured/shown of the key and lock. "(eng) urban alps stealth key 3d hands on".
I suspect this has a reverse sidebar similar to the old gm locks, which would explain the fact that none of the sliders retract, the ball bearing would only center the core for easy removal of the key due to precise tolerances.
I was hoping to find that cylinder (specifically scandinavian oval SK1071-S14 ) on sale for cheaper than the price of whole padlock but it seems impossible to even buy it online..
The tail piece could be screwed on... If you can put a wire or rod in that smaller hole, it may line up. From there, you may be able to unscrew it. I am also interested in this give-a-way.
It appears that the Urban Alps Stealth Padlock uses a similar idea of hiding locking pins from the lock pick as with the Bowley Lock. I think this is a smart idea of keeping the lock picker getting to the locking pins, thus preventing the lock from being picked. Hopefully, this is the wave of the future for lock development.
Plastic 3d printing would be iffy, but possible to design around. Metal 3d printing is absolutely strong enough. It's sintered metal, and it's no weaker than any other metal manufacturing process so long as proper care is taken in design.
Bill have you tried picking both sides at once like Leonardo da Vinci used to write with both hands at once! I guess you'd need someone to help tension ...maybe you and LPL could team up on that one!
Try to remove the allen screw on the core, pur the key in, hold the key and Turn the Brass Part Part with pliers to unscrew it... Maybe there is a thread... 🤷🏻♂️
You might want to look on their website and go to "Stealth Cylinders" There is a photo of an exposed core there that might give you some insight. Also, this seems to be a Swiss and not a Czech company. The locks are made in Sweden.

The tail piece could be screwed on... If you can put a wire or rod in that smaller hole, it may line up. From there, you may be able to unscrew it. I am also interested in this give-a-way.
Bill, here you can Look in the inside by an gutted Zylinder of the stealth key by Urbanalps...!
It looks like it is time for a new tensioner tool. Cool.
Finally, a lock to secure all my toilet paper. If I had any.....
really impressive lock!!
If not for that price tag, I'd love to outfit my house with something like this
I wish whoever won that lock would send it back to him tell him to cut it open. Lol
Awesome video. :-) thanks for making it
It appears that the Urban Alps Stealth Padlock uses a similar idea of hiding locking pins from the lock pick as with the Bowley Lock. I think this is a smart idea of keeping the lock picker getting to the locking pins, thus preventing the lock from being picked. Hopefully, this is the wave of the future for lock development.
Plastic 3d printing would be iffy, but possible to design around. Metal 3d printing is absolutely strong enough. It's sintered metal, and it's no weaker than any other metal manufacturing process so long as proper care is taken in design.
Awesome lock, key design and manufacture. It will cost more than what you're protecting though!. Lol
Great lock Mr.Bill
Crazy cool lock!
Not sure it’s been said but the pins can’t go that way because the key is in the way?
What a AWESOME lock!!
What is a nice pick proof deadbolt lock for a house an where can I buy them ?
Bill have you tried picking both sides at once like Leonardo da Vinci used to write with both hands at once! I guess you'd need someone to help tension ...maybe you and LPL could team up on that one!
Does the key interact with something deep in the lock to release the core?
Holy Smokes....nice padlock!
Try to remove the allen screw on the core, pur the key in, hold the key and Turn the Brass Part Part with pliers to unscrew it...
Maybe there is a thread... 🤷🏻♂️
Holy cow... I just watched a few reviews from the company. Very impressive
Please point out where....thanks!
That looks like a real awesome lock.. I have always wanted a metal 3d printer. maybe you could have cut the key in the middle
have you talked to the lockpicking lawyer? "unpickable" is exactly his thing...
yeah, he seems to be one of the tops these days. He is fun to watch also.
I would love to see his thoughts and tries on this one.
What about a clutch at the end of the keyway?
That's really neat!
Did this video get demonitized Bill? Yours is one of the few I always let the ads run and none came up.
Cost aside, would you rather have a Medco or this on your front door?
Urban Alps is a Swiss Company and not from the Chech Republic and it is stated on the front that it is made in Sweden.
excellent video, thanks for sharing!
You might want to look on their website and go to "Stealth Cylinders" There is a photo of an exposed core there that might give you some insight.
Also, this seems to be a Swiss and not a Czech company. The locks are made in Sweden.
thats such a cool key :) love it :)
Very cool looking lock
Woa, this Lock really looks interesting!
Good timing, since my cellar door lock got destroyed and wants to get replaced : D
*Thanks Bill. Is there a pin or bar which needs pushing by the end of the key, before you can pick the lock?*
Well, the answer is 'No.'. This video shows the mechanism: ua-cam.com/video/4GEJ4cXRa_Y/v-deo.html
