I hope you'll find it a lot easier to see compared to the old video with the core under a magnifying glass.
Looking for the best Disk Detainer pick to pick the widest range of locks? Consider my Silver Bullet: lockfall.com/product/silver-bullet-3d-printed or DIY Kit: lockfall.com/product/silver-bullet-diyHow a Medeco Lock WorksLockfall Laboratories2020-06-12 | Here I show how a Medeco lock works with pin rotation. This lock is modeled after a Medeco Biaxial with 6 pins and is a lock I personally own. Next video planned will be how to pick this lock!

Consider my Silver Bullet: lockfall.com/product/silver-bullet-3d-printed or DIY Kit: lockfall.com/product/silver-bullet-diyHow Security Pins WorkLockfall Laboratories2020-06-05 | In depth explanation of several types of security pins and their interaction with the shear line. I've also added a couple counter-milled chambers to give an example of what additional security they can provide.
Security pins increase the lock resistance to picking, raking, bumping and other techniques by quite a lot comparatively, and adding them is probably the single cheapest solution to better security for a common lock.
This is all from a parameterized Fusion file where I can enter the cut numbers and it'll print out a key! media.discordapp.net/attachments/559124945188421702/566419548178350081/unknown.pngMaking the Mini Trays (potential volume warning)Lockfall Laboratories2019-03-17 | Making a set of mini-trays in copper and brass! This is the top side, they then get flipped and finished and serialized. I've lowered the volume by a lot, but still check yours.Abus 80TI/50 Fast Picking MethodLockfall Laboratories2019-02-25 | Picked faster with BOK tension and a half-diamond. My half diamond is from the Dangerfield set.Kryptonite Kryptolok Series 2 PickedLockfall Laboratories2019-02-16 | Tensions from a random middle disc!Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit New-U PickedLockfall Laboratories2019-02-16 | 3rd pick of this lock, after realizing it was middle tension, things go easier. Also, checked some other videos and saw no one else guts the lock, it does seem like to me that you can't gut it without destructive methods.Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit New-U Latest - Blind PickedLockfall Laboratories2019-02-16 | I hadn't looked up anything about this lock, picked it out of package and then attempted to gut. I couldn't figure out a way. Skip to 3:30 to start picking, 7:10 to open. Picking takes a little longer as I hadn't realized this lock would tension from a middle random disc, but I eventually figured it out.
My SB tension tip needed a little polishing, this one was testing and hadn't been used before. All SBs get tested before being shipped! Removed a tiny burr and made a new video.Abloy Disklock Pick and Gut - Silver BulletLockfall Laboratories2019-01-31 | This Disklock (non-Pro) picked and gutted. I also explain about the lock. Picking starts at 3:45, open at 11:30.Abus 88/50 Pick and Gut - Silver BulletLockfall Laboratories2019-01-24 | Double butterfly discs picked and gutted.Abus 88/40 Picked - Silver BulletLockfall Laboratories2019-01-17 | Picking starts at 3:45
This is a brand new lock with an Abus+ Core and two butterfly discs. Abus butterfly discs are meant to defeat tensioning of the lock, and while there's some work arounds to them, this method just picks by tensioning on the rear butterfly and uses a little trick at the end to ignore it.
In theory you could use the same trick for a front tension, however I have found rear tension works much better for this method.Silver Bullet - How it WorksLockfall Laboratories2019-01-16 | An instructional video on picking a lock with false gates using the Silver Bullet. This is an update to the old HSS Gerda video.Silver Bullet - Kryptonite DemoLockfall Laboratories2019-01-16 | Picking starts around 0:50 inSilver Bullet Disk Detainer Pick - Gerda HSS PadlockLockfall Laboratories2018-12-17 | Demonstration of how to use the Silver Bullet markings to pick a more challenging lock with false gates like the Gerda HSS.
Shield material: amzn.to/2XwYqt5 Mic: amzn.to/2zxXrRF Amp: amzn.to/36w7Ucm And then just a 1mm x 2mm magnet on the end of any pick, and made some marks on the pick shaft for where each rotor isMul-T-Lock MT5+ (sort of) - Pick and GutLockfall Laboratories2017-07-24 | MT5+ with 4 chambers not pin-in-pinEVVA MCS - Generation 2 - Full Pick & GutLockfall Laboratories2017-04-17 | This is the latest generation available in the US. Only 1 gate per rotor is on this lock.
EVVA has announced a Gen 3 with active sliders, but other parts I believe would be the same.EVVA MCS - Gen 1 - Full Pick & GutLockfall Laboratories2017-03-28 | World Debut of the first known full picking attack on the MCS. The legendary MCS is fallible after all.
Only mod to the video was cutting out sound in the middle, it got a bit loud in the house and I wasn't able to narrate the picking process anyway.
Open at 9:24EVVA MCS - Gen 1 - 4 Rotors - Picked & GuttedLockfall Laboratories2017-03-26 | To my knowledge, a world first, at least publicly claimed. With only a minor tool change (waiting on materials) I will be able to get a full 8 rotor pick and gut.
I have developed a tool set and technique for determining which rotors are binding, set and not yet binding. It should also be noted, this technique does not require external magnets or access to the side of the lock, it can be picked locked in place on a door.
Apologies for the awkward angle and not being able to see the key & pick fully, but I didn't want to give away too many details at this stage.EVVA MCS - Full DisassemblyLockfall Laboratories2017-03-07 | Full disassembly procedure as I've been able to figure out of the EVVA MCS. This is a older generation MCS with the 12 passive ball-bearing system, 1 active ball bearing, as opposed to the new slider system. You will also notice that many of the parts that are plastic on the newer model were all metal with the exception of the sidebar separator/blocker.EVVA MCS - Sidebar Operation DetailsLockfall Laboratories2017-03-07 | Here I explain how the sidebar works on an EVVA MCS as to my knowledge after taking apart this lock and studying it.EVVA MCS - How it WorksLockfall Laboratories2017-03-06 | After a tear-down, here is how the lock works. I mispoke just a bit comparing this sidebar to the "Kwikset" sidebar. I meant to say the newer Kwikset SmartKey system with the squared off sidebar.Medeco M3 5-pin Pick CCW & GutLockfall Laboratories2017-02-28 | I tried to explain what was happening best I could as I was picking this time. Some comments had been that picking videos aren't too interesting as they end up being just the same thing happening. Apologies for camera focus, normally I lock it down, but I guess there's not a lot to see from the front.Medeco Hand Cut Key - Part 6 of 6Lockfall Laboratories2017-02-23 | This is a series on how to cut a Medeco key by hand for the hobbyist.

Sorry about seeing my hand for a lot of the gutting, will try a different angle in the future.
This lock came from a lot of locks I got on eBay, so it was fairly worn. This is also my first dimple lock I've picked.Medeco LFIC Picked to ControlLockfall Laboratories2017-02-14 | Picked this one to control, gutting would take picking to operating, or another trick that I'll show in a different video.Schlage Primus - Pick & GutLockfall Laboratories2017-02-08 | Check out my method of picking the Primus, complete with hilarious gutting. Don't worry, I still have all the springs and pins somehow. Though with 3 sides for stuff to fall out of this core, it is a wonder.
I've heard raking works on some sidebars, but mine wouldn't open with any kind of raking, though I could only fit the modified pick I made in the bottom of the keyway.How to Pick Any Medeco LockLockfall Laboratories2017-01-21 | The hardest part of getting most Medecos picked is figuring out rotation. Taking the lock apart gives us more clues on how to do it. I highly suggest you do the same with your lock.Medeco Classic - CCW - PickedLockfall Laboratories2017-01-21 | My method for picking Medecos Counter-Clockwise. Apologies for the incoherent thoughts while picking, the basic process is: * scramble pins for rotation by raking or inserting a key * medium tension, rake with a slender gem to get some easy pins without false gates set correctly * heavy tension, keep pins down but test each to find binding, rotate with gem by releasing tension fully and giving a wiggle * lift to sheer, if you didn't get an open proceed to next step * use DACP lifter to find bound pin, proceed with the wiggle, will take very little tension and heavy scrubbing at times to get out of a false gate
