One of the best visualizations about lock picking I ever saw, really makes you understand what happens. But what is that green pin on the first lock? There was no explanation for it
@@w4ve The green pin is just to limit the cylinder rotation. The cylinder has a groove that runs about 90 degrees. It is just like the limit pin in disc detainer lock.
This is, by a long way, the best explanatory video on how these padlocks work. Superb graphics. No messing about. Straight to the topic. It should be referenced by all the picking channels.
This has the best animations about each topic mentioned that I’ve seen in 1 video. This just became the go to video I will use when showing someone how locks work when I’m teaching them lock picking. Superb job and a well earned smash of the subscribe button.

At 7:38 video claims that "unlike the pin tumbler lock, the key cannot be removed after opening the lock." This is a false difference: even with a pin tumbler lock, you can't remove the key while the core is rotated, since the pins can't move to allow the key out until it's returned to its original position.
@@dmenscher In a pin tumbler lock, the one that uses locking pawls, you don't need to close the shackle to remove the key. But in a disc detainer, the shackle must be close to rotate the core to the original position. It might not be true in some designs. What I said in the video is not a solid claim, rather it is just a presumption to make a point about how the cuts from the discs prevent the key from being able to pull out. I should've mentioned that it is due to the core rotation and not because of the difference like you said.
@@quasar-ed They probably aren't accusing you for not crediting LPL and Bosnian Bill. It's almost a ritual that every time LPL picks a disc detainer lock he will call the tool he uses "the tool that Bosnian Bill and I made".
@@gur3n6089 yes, exactly what my original comment was for. Just as a tradition, not to point the lack of credits nor a mistake. It's almost like Pavlov response in my head. Cheers!
Сподобалось відео. Дуже наочно показано. Хотів додати, що якщо загубив ключі, не обов'язково брати молоток, щоб зламати такий замок. Достатньо взяти довгий калений шуруп і викрутку. Закручуєш шуруп в отвір для ключа до тиж пір, поки рухомий циліндр не зламається і не вискоче назовні. Все, замок відкрито. Я вже використав цей спосіб і він працює
F***ng amazing!!! Just today for casuality I bought a Disc Detainer lock, it was not for security, it was for outside an that One has water protection. Sorry for My English
Both locks can be BLOWN OPEN using 5 stick matches. Scrap the red off of the head matches of 4 off the end of the matches. Grind the red tops into a powder. Pour it into the keyhole. Take the 5th match, light it then use it to light the powder in the lock. Now this is technically a tiny explosion inside the lock causing it to open but wont destroyed the lock or damage it in anyway.
Thank you very much for these videos. Channels like yours are so precious to me. Im really interested in mechanical stuff and i will start my first semester in mechanical engeineering in a couple of days from now. And a big part of why i chose it are animated and narated videos of how things work. I think the first video of yours that i watched was about the curta calculator and i instantly subscribed and was suprised how you are not a major animation channel becouse of the quality of not only the animation but also the comprihensive explanation. I cant imagine the effort it takes to make a video like such, and its there for free for anyone curious, so thank you!
I wish someone would build a super precise pin tumbler lock as a challenge for UA-cam pickers. With perfect pin fit and alignment, it should be impossible for just one to bind under tension.
I think the problem with such precise lock is that very quickly, the key would get worn down just a tiny amount from regular use, ruining the fine tolerances and making it impossible to unlock.
It seems like it shouldn't be that hard to create a "pick-proof" mechanical lock that doesn't require precise machining, as all the picking techniques rely on tensioning, so if the tensioning ability can be removed, then ... pick-proof? For example, imagine if the pins had fine serrations, like a bolt. The key is inserted, the pins adjust to their height dictated by the key cut, but there is no blocking mechanism to prevent the locking mechanism from turning or sliding; in other words, no feedback for the picker. But as the locking mechanism starts to open, mating serrations lock the pins at their current height. Only after the pins are locked in position by the serrations does the locking mechanism present a barrier to further opening of the locking mechanism if the pins aren't at the right height. This seems a bit obvious, so I'm sure it must have already been done, or it won't work for some reason I'm not seeing. Anyway, if such locks do exist, I'd be very interested in a video describing how they work.
@@Tom_Quixote Yeah. If it has too tight tolerance, you run into the opposite problem. It'd be very difficult to open this lock due to the friction and any irregularities will make this lock seized up.
So, how about a kind of key which, it tooth are not on it's edge, but hollowed on it's surface? That kind of key, has 2 ways to input to the keyhole, which looks exactly the same, so it must have 2 arrays of pins instead of 1? Is it much harder to pick?
@@KhangDinhHoang I've never seen such key you mentioned, but I've seen a key that have four side and each side has varying circular dents. Yeah they sure have four pairs of pins. So must be harder to pick. Has anyone ever successfully picked them before?
@@quasar-ed ahh I just found out! It is called dimple key. Beside that, there is laser track key, which I have ever seen only once until now. I wonder how hard to pick it? 😁
@@quasar-ed "Then I'm going to get the pick that Bosnian Bill and I made and insert it such that we're only touching disk number one. Number 2 is loose. Click out of 3 [...]"
I am unsure if lockpicking actually drives our society to constantly improve locks. Many parts of the world still use thousands of years old design with few improvements. Skillfull lockpicker can defeat all locks used in housedoors in minutes. In Nordic countries Abloy has been a dominant brand, so most houses use ”only” 100 years old design. Nowdays smartlocks that use the movement of the key to power a verification of a RFID of the key have become more common in apartments, but this probably has to do with easier management of keys. I don’t think weak locks have been considered a major issue in society in most applications, and I don’t think the security of locks used in homes or even businesses has significantly improved because of such pressure.
Disc detainers have been the bare minimum for decades where I'm from.. notion of using a pin lock for anything but a child's toybox lock is.. Sure you can pick a disc detainer too, but it will generally be more time consuming and not doable in seconds.
I thought disc locks were more vulnerable because I could pick one with a closed safety pin although now I think about it I’m thinking that it’s more of a badly designed lock 0:55
Even fairly insecure locks are probably enough in most cases as the average meth user that will be breaking in will not bother to pick the lock anyhow.
Getting a lock picked is highly unlikely. Getting it smashed or melted by an acetylene torch is much more likely. The only thing that can save you is stronger gates with thicker steel and locks made of high strength thick steel. A brass lock is never any good. Having more than one lock in your gate is also helpful. However you have to think at what point the locks exceed in value to the objects inside the room.
Must say that was one of the best videos I've seen on how pin tumbler and disc detainer padlocks work and how they can be picked. Your animations are great and very clearly explain things. Nice to see a DD lock included, you should do one on safe combination locks as they are a superb piece of design.
