Have had a serious respect for Abloy since I first came across them at work many years ago, 1984. Their engineering and tenacity in making a good security product has not faltered. Your tenacity is quite something this is impressive. I am curious as to your job. Thank you for not towing the corporate line.
Thank you Michael. I'm 100% with you on admiration for Abloy's engineering and tenacity. They make lovely locks that are elegant and very effective. A lot of people assume I work on picking these locks to show that they are faulty. In reality the opposite is true. I genuinely only work on locks that I respect. I'm an engineer myself, so when I see the elegant engineering in mechanical designs, I really can't get enough of it. It's hard to describe, but just being around it and gaining a better understanding of it is a real joy. Thank you for your comment. I'm happy you enjoyed my video :)
WOW what hell a picker that speaks his mind , you have my vote , Thank you. Keep them coming when you have the time.... Robbie from Huyton Liverpool UK
Hahaha. Thanks man! I have been told (by my wife) that I definitely have a big mouth. Sometimes speaking my mind gets me into trouble, but I legitimately believe everything I said here. Thanks for watching and have an awesome day!
Great job my friend always a pleasure to watch you work I’ve been waiting on this video after you showed me you got a pick from hux great job from hux on the pick and his mastery of abloy knowledge to produce them. You two together is a dangerous combination. No lock stands a chance
Chris! Hey man... This one was really all Hux. He designed the pick, made it, and taught me everything I needed to know in order to pick it. That guy's dedication is super-human.
Really nice video, I love your narration style over the top of the video track, you're excellent at that. Hux's pick truly is a thing of beauty and I think you're right, the Abloy execs must quake in their boots every time they see he's published another video. Thanks again, Michael.
Fantastic job on the lock, the pinning tray looks great & that pick is a thing of beauty in its self, great video well worth the wait.Have a great day.
Thanks Daz! I appreciate the kind words. I was really happy with how the pinning tray came out. It even has a core cradle that attaches via that copper dovetail. I'll have to make a video about that specifically.
I like the fact you focus on high security locks and only publish when you feel you have something worth sharing (and don't get me started on Patreon). As for this video, a really good demonstration and explanation of Hux's brilliant Silver Bullet Pick in action. Great stuff.
Thanks Tipene! I really appreciate that! Humanity's addiction to mediocrity has always been one of my pet-peeves. Thank you for your kind words about the video. I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
Nailed it! That is the best piece of honesty I have heard from any member of the community. Keep producing what you desire and do if for yourself... Not google.
I'm new to lock picking and I find your videos to be of the greatest quality. I enjoyed listening to you explain your purpose and appreciate your candor. Watching you pick locks has caused me to consider that I'm a jack of too many trades 🤦♂️😬
Great picking! I need to get myself one of these locks as a project. On why clockwise rotation bites harder - if you are forcing a disc clockwise then the edge of the false gate is driving the side bar into the cam face in the lock body and therefore making it bite harder, while with CCW rotation the edge of the gate pushes the side bar into the core housing, acting against the tension you're applying and actually reliving pressure on the side bar by the lock body. Hence always going to be easier to pop it out of a false gate going CCW, not that it's a massive problem to ease off on the tension or even allow a little counter rotation going CW.
@@tumbl3r I am very excited and can't wait, actually I sort of can wait I've already been waiting 1.5 years LOL. Really nice work on the open :-) Do you mind if I include you in my lock sport update? I feel like this is a cool thing to show
Sure man... Feel free to include this in your update... I don't mind at all. That pick will be worth the wait for sure. I think they take him a very long time to make because it's all done on manual equipment.
Simply impressive Sir! I have a few Abloy's old and New I enjoy looking at them lol that's all can do!! After watching this video a few times to make sure i was actually seeing correct, I have a press conference scheduled for 12pm EST to announce the closing of my new Channel!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing my friend!!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Believe it or not, this is a pretty strait forward lock to pick. Mostly it's just a matter of having the right tool. Can't shut your channel down now :) I just bought a ticket to your show!
Great to have you back your channel is definitely one of my favourites. Definitely some of my favourite videos was watching you wrestle some of those evvas and assas. They were intense
Thanks chefgav1 I genuinely appreciate those kind words. Making these videos and picking these locks is a lot of fun. Thanks for watching, and it's great to hear from you!
Really enjoy your videos. I think your picking skills are amazing. I'm one of those people that just picks anything. I really enjoy doing it. When ì can pick a tuff lock, i do it. Getting better. Excellent video
Wow. Very nice, and just wow, I saw the post on /r/lockpicking and was just waiting to see the video. Cheers and it's good to hear that you're still doing well. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Thanks man! I appreciate that. Not sure what's coming next. There's one lock in particular that beat me up a while back that I might challenge to a rematch. To my knowledge nobody has yet picked it.
tumbl3r your videos are all great but when I found your channel I was looking for Abus xp1 help.. that was my fav! Throwing the lock at the vice made me chuckle and I’d not seen humour like that in any video before... I still didn’t get the xp1 open lmao
Hey brother I have to say I really enjoy watching all your videos. You pick locks that nobody else picks. I wasn't notified of this one because of course UA-cam changed my notifications again 🤬. I just happened to see the the comment you left on Supallama's channel and had to come and see if you had put up any videos lately. That was another awesome pick brother. I can only wish lol. You also take apart locks I wouldn't dare. Another fantastic video my friend. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Bobby! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Taking apart my own locks never really scares me, because if I mess them up, it's only me that has to deal with it. I really do worry about taking apart other people's locks though. I generally go very very slowly and approach the task progressively when I can.
Hello my good friend, it's funny... Mr. BLP60 had asked about you 3 days ago. Love watching you work my friend. Beautiful lock, a awesome pick. Hope you and your family are doing well! God bless you!
Hey man! Great to hear from you :) It's funny. A few people have said people were talking about me recently. Maybe my ears were burning, LOL. The family and I are doing well. Thank you very much for asking. I hope you and yours are well also. God bless :)
Masterful pick -- nicely done -- Wondering if I'll get my lock back in working order? (ha, ha) -- Huxleypig's disc detainer pick ("Silver Bullet", or is it "Solver Bullet") is quite a masterpiece
Hello and thank you for your videos. Do you know where I could find ressources about how to determine where the tensionning disc is? Specially if you do not have the key. Thank you.
I linked his channel down below. Right now he's only making a very very limited number of them. I do know there are some plans in the works to tool up and produce a lot more. Check in on Discord for the most current status.
Dude, so good to see you! I'd not seen anything for a a while and had wondered how you're doing. Everything going well? Still running the pro-smithy racket?
tumbl3r Good to see you back my friend, we are all doing well thanks for asking buddy. Like I said very nice job picking out like and just an awesome tool from your friend Hux. Hopefully you and your family are doing well too sir.
Great to see you back - it's fascinating to obverse you picking this beautiful lock with your new tool. I think with the engraving on the pick it's easier to keep track of of the discs. But you did a fantastic job getting this baby open :-) Would you consider it to be possible to do that also in the wild without a vice?
Thanks Potti314! It's funny actually. I never even look at the marks on the tool. I have talked with others and they depend on the engravings a great deal. For me, watching the lines just confused the matter. This lock was actually pretty strait forward to pick, so yes. I think picking it in the wild is totally doable.
Hey brother I know you only like picking high security locks. Have you picked a Kaba Quattro on your channel? I have a couple if you would like to borrow one with a key. I know you take apart locks that I wouldn't dare but this one without the right tools is not easy. Paul Springett did a video on how to put one back together if you would like to watch it. I already have one in bits and pieces that Frosty had tried to take apart lol. Let me know brother I will be happy to send you one.
Hey Bobby! I picked one Kaba, although I have no idea which model it was. It came to me without a key, and it remains in a bag, completely taken apart. You're not kidding about how tricky they are to get back together. I read about a method using tape, but never did try it. Thanks for the offer! I've got enough locks to keep me busy for now, but may take you up on it later on.
I'm not 100 present sure I believe what I've just seen I noticed all the critical shots are very conveniently blocked by bad camera work OR was it? As for me the jury's still out. Robbie from Huyton Liverpool UK
Hey man, no worries. As a skeptic myself, I always appreciate the sentiment. I guess all I'd say is that faking this would have been far harder than just picking it. Not that it's an easy lock to pick by any means, but once you have the tool, it really isn't too bad. There should be quite a few other videos of folks picking the Classic out there. Several of them certainly have a better camera setup than me. I just hope you enjoyed the video and had some fun :) Have a good one!
Nice work. From a practical standpoint this lock DOES win since only a handful of people with a tool like this can pick these disc locks. And even you took a relatively long time to complete the solve. Of course none of this matters if your thief has a cordless angle grinder with a silicon carbide grinding wheel. The keys are TIME and NOISE. There are videos of criminals in broad daylight stealing $1500 bicycles with such angle grinders. They don't even bother with key ways at all. One last idea: What if Abloy added a spring loaded dimple to this package? The dimple would have to be actuated for the key to turn like on Mul-T-Lock systems.
Well, this tool is custom made by a friend in the UK. I don't endorse any particular picks or pick sets, but if you watch my videos, you'll see that I generally use Peterson picks.
I wish someone could/can date them; my Abloy is circa 100 years old...I think. My research tells me that it was produced circa 1920. It weighs 630g, and is contructed from bronze/brass. I have a key for it, and it opens and closes better than the modern locks I have. Like clockwork, even...
After watching a fair bit of the lock picking lawyer it's nice to see locks don't just unlock to everyone in under 20s. I was losing hope in locks because he just bangs them open so easily.
tumbl3r yes but he does videos where he opens the lock new in package and picks it live. The plastic holding the lock is more secure than the lock itself. He's a freak of lock picking nature though.

Generally the more times you've opened a given lock the quicker you get at doing it.
tumbl3r yes but he does videos where he opens the lock new in package and picks it live. The plastic holding the lock is more secure than the lock itself.
He's a freak of lock picking nature though.
