Bit of a deep dive and picking tutorial about the workings of this beautiful lock. Barrel spools, countermilling, and sidebar sliders that need both lifting and rotating. This lock pretty much has it all.

A French domestic market lock owned by Assa Abloy that punches waaaaaaaaaay above its weight.")

First ever pick of this fantastic lock - a Chinese Mul T Lock Interactive copy, ten pins with an additional magnetic element. Part two of this video is an in depth review of this lock.
This is not the cheap Chinese junk were accustomed to seeing folks...this is damned good lock aimed squarely at western consumers.")

The BKS Janus is BKS Locks flagship mechanical lock. I had absolutely no idea how to strip it - and if you can be bothered to watch the second half of the video youll see me stumbling about figuring out how to pull it apart. Frankly I wouldnt bother unless youre looking for conclusive pick and gut evidence that I did in fact pick a fully pinned up (12 pins!) lock.")

A fun padlock, but you wouldnt want to actually secure anything with it.
A thousand thanks to Michael in Texas for sending this across.")

The Multipick Elite G-Pro is quite simply the best dimple pick set on the market.
Its not perfect...in my view there are a couple of things missing from the kit, and there are a couple of things in there that could be removed to make way for more useful stuff.
But make no mistake - this is the best commercial dimple picking set ever made and every serious dimple picker needs these Multipick picks. This kit will get you into more locks, period.

I get a LOT of questions about how to pick Mul-T-Locks.
So, Im going to do a 12 part occasional series on how to pick these beautiful, complex, high precision locks. Im going to start with a REALLY difficult subject, simply because this just happens to be something Ive been working on recently.
If youre not into dimples, you might want to skip this video because it wont make a lot of sense.")
![[94] Review - Kenaurd MTL Classic clone - DO NOT BUY THIS LOCK](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tt2EIG7XJvI/mqdefault.jpg "[94] Review - Kenaurd MTL Classic clone - DO NOT BUY THIS LOCK
This is a truly awful Mul-T-Lock Classic pin-in-pin clone.
If youre a lockpicker, by all means buy or swap for one of these -
youre bound to get some laughs.
But please, if youre here looking for a review because youre thinking of purchasing this lock, for the love of God fo yourself a favour and buy the real thing.")

First time this lovely German lock has been picked on camera as far as I know. The Ankerslot Infinity K is beautifully made and has a small magnetic element on the key which interacts with a magnetic pin in a blind chamber in the core. Beautiful engineering and I would put this on my front door without hesitation.")
