All your videos have been informative and worth watching this video you have put together for us all to learn from has been very well filmed and edited to produce a most practical training video with some beautiful cut away locks and some present day lock tools available. The thumb turn lock with wire was new to me and the shutter lock technique will scare some shop owners.Thank you🔒🔓👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Almost the best... Number one is the one with Locksport hobbies or the comb pick-comb (I loved that one)🙂 But the one i recorment the most, are your recommendations on beginner lockpick set. I wish, that i had seen that one, when i started🙂
This is not just "your" best video but the best video demonstration of locks and their vulnerabilities . Great job and super educational and you sound pleasant 🙂
This is excellent Ash! Thank you for your time and effort making this 😀 I'm just a hobby picker, but having come from an educational training background, I can tell you this would be an excellent introductory video to people within the industry. Well done and thank you again 👍
At a loss for words, because this is such an amazing video! Already I have watched on my phone, laptop and my TV now. Instantly became a "Top of the List" lockpicking reference video. Bonus points for the Reverse Picking!
Absolutely phenomenal, super happy to see the reverse picking on there, I finally watched that video the other day, but I was more excited to see that impressioning tool handle thing you had. I'm still early in my Foley-Belsaw certification lessons, but I've really liked making keys for locks without em. My fingers hurt and the vice grips don't vice enough lol
@@penfold7800 @@penfold7800 hmmm sure I suppose, some use a thick tension wrench in the key for tension while bumping. In your example I feel the screw would have to fit very snug, almost like a handle, in order to wiggle both directions. To just crank on it and go up and down it sounds like a fairly decent idea
Interesting video. Never heard of the reverse picking, sounds like stressful but ultimately rewarding method once successful. Can't actually imagine a scenario where you would use it, apart from just because you can and for fun
He demonstrated all techniques, not all levels of lock security. There are some really good locks that require high skill to pick. For example, Medico locks have pins that need to be lifted AND TWISTED to the right orientation. I have no idea how to pick those, but I guess it is possible.
Great overview of many non-destructive methods to open a standard key lock. Top quality video! Any negatives? ... maybe only that the video gives the false impression that all locks are *easily* opened, when in fact that's not a case (especially for better locks). But anyway this is really good stuff that you are showing - thank you for doing it! 😜😜
Ha!! Finally someone has acknowledged the reverse picking technique. I discovered that myself a while back. While you may still need to re-pick a couple of pins in the traditional manner, it is still a useful technique on some of my older Yale and TriCircle locks with stubborn worn pins.
It's just a matter of bouncing the tension. I've only had luck with locks that have strong pin springs. Of course it's also quite possible that all I'm actually doing is comb picking but pushing each pin up separately. Then the pins that have longer pins to prevent that are the only ones left to pick, so all I'm doing possibly is just bouncing the tension to drop the one or two key pins that are longer to prevent comb picking. Lol!
Hey LockNoob. Been a huge fan for awhile. You’re the main reason I got into picking a few years ago. I live in the US, and have been picking these types of locks for a while now. Can you recommend a good euro cylinder or euro re-pinable practice lock that would allow me to expand into that type? lock?
Excellent video, I have a question though, I have a hon file cabinet that I need to pick to get something out (it's mine of course), and raking doesn't seem to work, I've also tried a nail filer from the nail clipper with no luck, any techniques you'd recommend?
This stuff is so cool, you inspired me to get my own lock picking set! I’ve been able to open a few different types of locks so far, and I’m really enjoying it! Thank you so much Lock Noob, you helped me find a new passion. (Not to mention how satisfying it is lol)
Hey lock noob, I doubt you’ll see this, but for an aspiring locksmith, are there any specific locks you recommend practicing on? I saw a video were you had said that most locks you get at hardware stores and such are really bad/easily made, but what are some good brands that are challenging to pick?
@@nirvanafan007wonder5 I can't recall the first 2 locks I bought using someone's linear guide of easy to hard locks (namely due to the inclusion of security pins), but the third and 'super beginner graduate lock' was the Master 140D I think, or rather just the Master 140. It's got one or two spools in there, I keep one on my keychain
@@nirvanafan007wonder5 I'm no expert (not a locksmith), but if you are looking to get into the profession, remember that a lot of the locks you'll see will be old. I got a batch of older locks off ebay for pretty cheap. Some were easy to pick, most are still beyond my abilities. But I got a good mix.
I think that it's noteworthy that when using the impressioning technique, The impressioning many times can simply be measured and a new key cut from scratch. Or if using soft metal, Then take the soft metal key and use a key duplicator to make a good solid hard metal key. As usually the whole point a privilege elevation attack is not to be detected, and having a soft metal key break off inside of a stubborn lock would be a bad deal. That said we should be using these powers for good and not evil.
Very clever, but you have to know a lot about the models of locks to do this. That is why destructive opening is used 99.9% of the time. An angle grinder although noisy will cut through most of the locks in a minute. The only time this is used is when a home owner has lost his keys and calls a lock smith to open the door without damage.. I admire the dedication, the skill and the knowledge.
Great video. Would it be possible to get links to the products. I know some would probably be out of my budget but would be fun to learn more about them.
@Lock Noob thanks for the reply! I'm looking into getting in to this business as noone in my area really does it so just figuring out what way would be best to start.
Still havent heard anything back from you about the magnetic lock? Just wondering if there's any issues or anything? Sorry to bug you, its just my anxiety is going nuts, as I still havent heard anything back at all... :(
@@LockNoob I sent an email on the 28th and never heard back? Im wondering if it got lost in a junk folder or something... I can resend it if you'd like?
I love the video, but you made a small mistake the way you file the key. Always file it 1 way, never file it back and forth or else it damages it faster. Overall a really hopeful guide to all lock picking techniques.
Focus on single pin picking, yes its the hardest but will give you the greatest gratification. You'll feel like an actual locksmith by understanding how pins work and not cheat.
This might just be my best ever video. Come watch it! 🔐👍😃
Ask anything! Not sure I’ll be able to answer but I’ll try!!

Loving the hammer for the bumping section. Is it a particular brand and model?! Also if you ever do seminars I would love to meet you.
Number 3 is just called "the mcnally approach" 😂
Smack all the masterlocks
@DisturbedGeneration That is so real... those lockpicking videos are the best
This is not just "your" best video but the best video demonstration of locks and their vulnerabilities . Great job and super educational and you sound pleasant 🙂
2:10 That zip method is amazing. At first I thought you were raking so fast that I couldn’t even see the motion in number 7. Pure magic.
Hey Ash, don't know how I missed this one! Great job as always.. thank you!
awesome video Ash mate great Compilation😊🇬🇧👍😎😎
Love it! One of the Best compilations I've watched lately! 😈😜

Quality of your videos is great, so much care for details. Keep doing!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO!!!!
Brilliantly executed and it must have taken a while ro edit it all together.
This really was a wonderful vid. I bit it took a while to make it; thanks for putting in the effort. We "real" noobs appreciate it!
GREAT video 👍👍👍 Well done, much work went into that 👏👏
Your new background is very nice 👍
Cheers 🍻

Wow !! Your best video to date.. Fantastic content presented concisely and entertaining! Well done mate!
What a hack of work. Great Video again. For me as a newbie in Lockpicking, there were some new interesting techniques i will check. Thanks a lot
#5. I love how the "1100" was intentionally left there. Also, I noticed that #26 wasn't a tic-tac container... 😂😂 Thanks for the upload. 🍻
Amazing, even the reverse picking 👏👏👏 I'm very impressed
Really excellent tour of techniques. Hopefully this will bring more people to the sport. You're right, one of your best videos. Fun and instructive.
Great video Ash. You did a fantastic job talking about them but also showing each and every one.
Thanks 😊

Would it help if you put a bolted a screw through the keyring hole in the blank and used that to wiggle the key instead?

Thank you 😊
Super great video👌
There were several ways, that i haven´t seen befor🙂
Well done!
Thanks
Awesome compilation,thank you!!
Wow. Looks like all the locks can be opened pretty easily. I got a kit and I need to get back on practicing.

Really good résumé! Thank! Merci!
You are most welcome
Excellent content. Thank you. 🔐
Excellent compilation! Missing the blue-tip wrenches tho!
Lol
Cool! I had never heard of reverse picking, but had thought about it before. Very neat to find out it's a plausible method!
Thanks
What a cool video! Thank you, and subscribed!
Interesting. Gonna have to try a few of these techniques. Need to get my hands on some new locks first though
Excellent video and you're videos are always awesome 🦾🤘👍
Nice breakdown.
Thanks
Really liked impressioning. Might try it out later. Also bypasses are really cool
Great video mate.
Excellent video.
A grea6 index if techniques mate, very well put togetjer👏👏👍😁🤜🤛
Nice little video that mate. 👌
Great Video :D
One more technique that came to my mind ... manual snap guns. the slow brother of electropicks ;)
True… but basically the same as epg, so I sorta skipped it. Next time I might add it 😁

oh wow that is crazy! so many different ways and yes there was few i didnt know
Thanks for the hammer technique for cheap locks... im gonna be trying that all the time, cause cheap locks are everywhere.
It still only works on some in my experience
2:03 Zipping, AKA "McNally's Favorite"
Find a lock that can be zipped open and he will zip it open in two seconds LOL
Good show, thanks

One of those 26 torturing methods will surely convince you to open 😉
Great video, Ash! 👍
Thanks
Lock picking the grand final I guess
Good job
Thanks i

Lol
Awesome

I picked the Schlag deadbolt on my front door in 16 seconds using the key tool. And I have only started my picking hobby an hour earlier
Got my like
where do you get the foil imprisoning
Christmas presents are no longer safe….
Hush, don't give the Internet any ideas now...
You forgot the mean mugging technique. That's when you look at a master lock with a stern expression and pop! You're in!
Loll
Just trying to get an idea does different meth9ds open different locks or is 1 likely to do the majority of locks? Like electric or raking?
Picking works on all locks, other techniques work on a subset of locks
@Lock Noob thanks for the reply! I'm looking into getting in to this business as noone in my area really does it so just figuring out what way would be best to start.
I was hoping you could show us how to pick the expandable storage container lock. I haven't seen 1 video anywhere on this
Thanks
No problem
Where can I buy the tools used in the video?
Btw this video is awsome!
Muy bueno el vídeo se entiende muy bien apesar de estar en esa lengua tan anticuada 😅
Great as Always, Watched to See if You Missed one, Still Thinking. Later
If you spot one let me know!!!
What the name of the trainer lock at 00:45
What about cabinet locks or drawer locks
I avoided lever and latch locks, as well as safe locks, magnetic locks etc etc. this was just pin tumblers
One you left out (it is hard on the budget) is the Sputnik.
And auto dialling picks for pin tumblers but you can’t get hold of either
@@LockNoob Sascha or Oliver could maybe be talked into lending you one. :D
supppper cool video
Still havent heard anything back from you about the magnetic lock? Just wondering if there's any issues or anything? Sorry to bug you, its just my anxiety is going nuts, as I still havent heard anything back at all... :(
I got them, could you email me about them for more info?

This would be #27 😂

After 1k times of locking and unlocking a padlock
It gets loosy and any key can open .
Oh my! "reverse picking", I see a picking method only for surgeon.
I HATE reverse picking lol
What about lock guns
So thats how its done, lol, only taken 10 years to work it out.
