This is a helluva lock and not easy but like all Tesa, really fun to pick! 😃🔐 Have you had the pleasure of picking some Tesa locks? Let me know what you think in the comments and don’t for get to like and subscribe if you like the content 😃👍
I literally just purchased one of these last week off eBay & am waiting on it to arrive. This couldn’t have been a more perfectly timed video for me haha.
wow oh my god I could never pick a lock like that my nerves would not allow me to and you did it so fast incredible hope you can put it back together again haha thanks for sharing Ash great job well done
As you say, very cool, and intimidating. Without the key, and fixed in place, would you still be able to recognise that the top pins can be ignored and the presence of the angled pin? By the keyway perhaps? Thanks for the video.
Great job Ash, That look like a really nice and well made lock. I smiled when you said you only use you're multi picks for show because of the bling factor for video.
WOW! What fantastic pins. That would normally be said because the pins are serrated or spooled. In this case it's the angles on the ends of the pins and that amazing teardrop shape. Quality lock and picked fantastically too 👍🏻 I have had the pleasure of picking a tesa lock and it wasn't an easy pick. You can feel the quality in the locks Tesa make and they ooze class too.
Really nice lock. I think I would be fairly confident having that type of lock on my front door. A stranger approaching this lock without knowing what's inside it would have a greater challenge on thier hands.
My two Mul-T-Lock Cronus Interactive+ deadbolts arrived today. Overkill much? The challenge for me is addressing my wife's inherently lax security. She was happy to see that the two locks arrived with four keys so we had spares to replace the keys she was going to lose. I explained that losing a single key means that I'm buying two more expensive locks and spending a couple of hours installing them.
LOL I must admit I did like that one, maybe if you make her pay towards them and she realises how much they cost then she would be more inclined to take care of the keys.. Just a thought my friend ;-)
My wife has implemented a plan for positive key control, as opposed to tossing her keys into random pockets and wondering where they are. The Mul-T-Lock Cronus Interactive+ deadbolts are VERY nice. I can definitely see where the extra money went.
Great picking, thank you. I am very new to this sport and have a question that is hopefully not stupid. If you were challenged to pick this lock and were not shown the key or the marks for where the pins are. How would you get on picking this “blind”?
If you were able to identify the lock from the warding or maybe by looking inside it with a light, you might be able to identify the model if you were familiar enough with the models of that brand (which I’m not!). Then you might have a chance of picking it if you were well practiced with that model. I’d say for the most part, these are pick-proof in the wild
My TK100 looks a bit different, with a hardened spinner plate and I don't think it has those handy-dandy removable plates at the bottom. Different generations perhaps or maybe this is more for the enterprise customer and mine is more of a consumer version which you can't repin so easily. I recall some additional spine reinforcement in my version too, but it's in use in a location so I won't be able to verify.
You could use a plug spinner to open it fully. It’s picked. The truth is, is most locks like this are never going to be attacked by picking as no one is going to spend hours in front of the door learning the lock.
Ooh! Shiny pick! Thanks for sharing a very impressive looking lock - looks intimidating with all those dimples on the key With all those specifically made pins and holes it must be difficult to manufacture - i would assume it is an expensive lock to produce
The interactive pin is to stop a tinfoil attack, right? I still use hollow blank keys and tinfoil to get a good imprint of the key as I exclusively buy locks without keys (or with broken keys inside that I need to extract first) since they're considerably cheaper. Nice and clean picking, cheers!!
Can you or someone else explain the rationale behind key-control pins like this? What do they really accomplish? If you have a key that might fit a lock (however you would find that out) "all" you would have to do is drill the key control cuts in the key to the deepest position possible. I have some Burg Wächter locks with those pins, but the key seems to be drilled to the lowest cut possible in all those positions. Why? What am I missing here? They don't constitute a trap or complication since you can generally figure out they are key control pins (since all but total rookies know about them).
It just means that you can't get them cut at a general public use key-cutting kiosk, cos the locksmith there will ask for proof that you're the owner of the lock and not just a Tennant.
@@LockNoob So a "do not copy" on the key isn't enough for the kiosk? The lock you showed has an interactive pin! How do they cut that one? I still can't get my head around this. How does a key-cutting kiosk know what cuts are real cuts and which are key-control cuts? If it's specific for the key a "do not copy" or the key itself would be enough. I'm not being obnoxious, I just don't understand the concept. When picking - just avoid them (you can tell they are passive pins). If you make a key from a cast they won't be a problem. If you suspect you have a key with the right biting just make the key control cuts as deep as you dare. The key-control pins are passive. I still don't get it. I'm genuinely intrigued.
OLLE 3770 the thing here is usually you get this sort of key cut by the factory based off a card that cones with the lock that has a unique identifier. It’s time consuming and expensive but more secure.
@@OLLE3770 interactive pins in the key, trap pins and control pins are three completely different things. Control pins move up from the cylinder in to the Bible and prevent a key without the correct holes from working (you can fool these by drilling/filing a slot the full depth all along the key). Trap pins do the opposite, they fall into the cylinder from the bible and they prevent it from turning (to prevent you from fooling it with the slot mentioned earlier). Trap pins also stop the cylinder from turning if there's no key inserted. Interactive pins in the key usually act on ball-bearings in the cylinder prevent a key without them from working by either preventing an incorrect key from being inserted all the way, or prevent the cylinder from turning all the way. They sometimes act on both sides of the key in different ways. It's complicated, and those keys with the interactive part in a specific place are manufactured in the factory as blanks with just that interactive pin, and then they are cut to whatever code the rest of the pins are. For a diagram of what's going on with those, search for "Multilock Pin-in-Pin with Interactive key".
Well you have defeated the pins but not opened the lock, if you try to fully rotate it to unlock, the pins will fall and prevent you form rotating further

Absolutely fantastic picking on that awesome Tesa lock. Fantastic video as always my friend. Have a great week.
Thanks Daz, you too mate!

Cool
wow oh my god I could never pick a lock like that my nerves would not allow me to and you did it so fast incredible hope you can put it back together again haha thanks for sharing Ash great job well done
Thank you ☺️
Thank you ☺️
@@LockNoob your very welcome Ash
As you say, very cool, and intimidating. Without the key, and fixed in place, would you still be able to recognise that the top pins can be ignored and the presence of the angled pin? By the keyway perhaps? Thanks for the video.
🙏 Thanks
Great picking and great lock Ash!
Thanks Drew!
That is a real unicorn.
Brilliant job !
Thank you very much my friend 😊
Great job Ash, That look like a really nice and well made lock. I smiled when you said you only use you're multi picks for show because of the bling factor for video.
Not ONLY, they are fantastic picks... they just also look the best!
Great picking and explanation! I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
thanks 🙏 it’s not an easy one!
Which High security cylinder do you recommend ? please help me. Thanks :):):)
Nice picking and lock, at least they made checking the pins easier.
Thanks 🙏
Very neat lock!
Thanks 🙏
the dexterity you used is fantastic, no way i could pick it, concrats i bow to you
Never say never! You never know until you try :-)
That really is some quality engineering in that lock.. Very nicely explained, picked and gutted.. Quality all round my friend ;-)
Thank you 🙏
Nice work and cool lock!
Thanks 🙏
Very impressive picking on a serious lock, great video as always
Thanks 🙏
Strange to see this lock picked without reading subtitles. Great job Ash! 👍
Good point! I love Tallan pick :-)
Excellent picking mate :)
Thanks 🙏
WOW!
What fantastic pins. That would normally be said because the pins are serrated or spooled. In this case it's the angles on the ends of the pins and that amazing teardrop shape.
Quality lock and picked fantastically too 👍🏻
I have had the pleasure of picking a tesa lock and it wasn't an easy pick. You can feel the quality in the locks Tesa make and they ooze class too.
Yes, they are all very well made locks and a real triumph to pick. I love ‘em
Really nice lock. I think I would be fairly confident having that type of lock on my front door. A stranger approaching this lock without knowing what's inside it would have a greater challenge on thier hands.
I completely agree. Shame there is no anti snap on it though
Please explain, why for is shape pins (not just round)? What is for interactive pin?
Great job my friend & no I never have, any dimples as yet. Just not common enough round here. Have a great week also.
Thanks you too friend!

@@LockNoob - I can't be the only locksport enthusiast who wants a lock on my door that I can't pick. :-)

Stellar job Ash! Very controlled and quick open. I hope to have the skill and opportunity to pick such an interesting lock one day. 😁🙏
Its a lovely lock!

Interesting 🤔
NICELY DONE 👍
Thanks 🙏
Fascinating lock. Could you have realistically picked this without seeing the key first?
Given the right amount of time, sure, but it wouldn’t be easy!
Great pick, but if you cannot rotate it as much as it would take to open the lock, is it then really picked? I would almost call that pickproof :-)
You could use a plug spinner to open it fully. It’s picked. The truth is, is most locks like this are never going to be attacked by picking as no one is going to spend hours in front of the door learning the lock.
Ooh! Shiny pick!
Thanks for sharing a very impressive looking lock - looks intimidating with all those dimples on the key
With all those specifically made pins and holes it must be difficult to manufacture - i would assume it is an expensive lock to produce
Yes, It must be compared to a standard pin tumbler, and I imagine it’s price reflects that!
Doesn't work with impression method?
The interactive pin is to stop a tinfoil attack, right? I still use hollow blank keys and tinfoil to get a good imprint of the key as I exclusively buy locks without keys (or with broken keys inside that I need to extract first) since they're considerably cheaper. Nice and clean picking, cheers!!
Thanks!
Wow! Very impressive :)
Thanks 🙏
Lock that is almost impossible to pick full 360 in real life situation, but no anti-snap feature???
Yeah, I find that Really weird!
Do you think you would’ve been able to pick this without having seen the key first to know where the interactive pin is?
Very good question. Maybe if I was familiar enough with Tesa locks to be able to identity the model... which I’m not!
That was a most definitely a tricky one Ash mate well done fantastic lock great job mate👍👊🇬🇧😎😊
Thank you Leon :-)
Well done Mr 😜👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
That's the lock I have in my front door here in Spain.

Nicely done, how many hours have you got in it ? 👍👍👍😎
Good question, it was a while ago, but i think 2 or 3 hours. Not easy!
Well you have defeated the pins but not opened the lock, if you try to fully rotate it to unlock, the pins will fall and prevent you form rotating further
Bought a Master Lock today for the memes. Knew what to expect, was still disappointed.
Lol
Great
Thanks 🙏
