Southern Steel jail locks are now owned by Southern Folger, as a result of a buyout between Folger Adam and SS. In this lock, they use the Twin made by Assa Abloy. I believe (but am not sure) that this is a thing called the Assa Twin Exclusive. As you folks know by now, Im a huge fan of Assa and I just love the way they approach the design and manufacture of their products. Theyve thought about - and mitigated against - just about every attack you can think of in this beautiful state of the art lock...apart from picking by a Gorilla.
As a bonus, I think this might be another first - I cant see any other videos showing the Twin Exclusive version of a Mogul being picked. So Im claiming it unless someone can point me to an earlier one.
Lastly, I have to apologise for the quality of this video folks. For various reasons Ive literally only picked two locks in the last eight months - this one and the Ruko Merkur. This aint a great video but better stuff is on the way.")

This Multipick kit is the Mercedes Benz of lockpicking kits - it can take you from beginner to picking high security locks and the quality is streets ahead of any other manufacturer. I love it, and its easily worth the price tag.

This lovely little safe didnt open on the combination numbers that were supplied with it. We strip it to find out why not, and fix the fault.

These beautiful old locks were the default American jail locks for more than half a century. We repin one to match a pre cut key that I bought from eBay, to make a working piece of history.")

The ALC Bilock is an iconic Australian lock. Its a very simple lock but a very difficult lock to pick. Another of Brian Preddeys masterpieces.")

In summary: If youre going to have one, buy the 7 pinner plus the expansion kit. Nice to have and very configurable, but kinda expensive for what you get, and definitely not for newbies.")
![[85] Review - Lockwood 130/70 padlock - complete junk](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UULfwUcQNK0/mqdefault.jpg "[85] Review - Lockwood 130/70 padlock - complete junk
Lockwood discus padlock tested to destruction. This is a NZ$58 (US$42) padlock, and its rubbish.
Assa Abloy call these High Security, and they should be ashamed of themselves.

The Ultion is a very good lock. But it behaves very, very strangely and while it may be excellent against drilling and snapping attacks, it is ridiculously easy to pick and in my view this makes a mockery of its three star security rating. In addition, its online marketing material makes some very odd claims. I make some educated guesses as to why this might be.
Brisant Secure were emailed for comment ten days before this video was published. Ive had no response.

A really good Swedish lock, kind of an Assa Twin lite, with four slider element sidebar and security pins.
Tried some new filming gear on this one, didnt really work that well so apologies for lousy audio and camera angle.")
