[L244] Kaba Star Neo - pick

Michael Gilchrist 2024-07-01 | This lock has 18 pins arranged in 5 separate rows, 2 bottom left, 5 left, 3 on top, 6 right, and 2 bottom right. Unfortunately, I am unable to figure out how to gut this lock, though it feels like all the driver pins are likely just standard.

[L243] Kaba ExperT - pick and gut

Michael Gilchrist 2024-06-29 | This lock has 15 pins arranged in 4 separate rows, working my way through this one is pretty tricky, but just keep feeling for binders and it opens in the end.

[L242] Miwa JC - pick and gut

Michael Gilchrist 2024-06-27 | The Miwa JC (previously mislabeled Miwa Kaba Star Orion by the community). This lock has 20 pins arranged in 6 separate rows, it is a challenge to navigate through all the pins and find the binders. On top of that, there are spools requiring counter rotation. Ends up in a bit of a messy gutting process, but to be expected from high pin count locks.

[L240] ASSA Trioving Triton 501 - pick and gut

Michael Gilchrist 2024-06-20 | This lock has 6 barrel spool drivers with matching counter milling in the plug. The key pins are interesting as they have two levels to them and do not rotate in their chambers. On top of this, there are 5 fingerpins on the side that have to be lifted and rotated to the correct orientation to interact with a sidebar that allows the plug to spin.

[L239] Decoding a Master Lock Combination Padlock - revisited

Michael Gilchrist 2024-06-18 | Revisiting decoding a Master Lock Combination Padlock with a slightly better method. I do plan on doing one more of these videos as one of the 30 locks appears to be broken, so planning to cut that one open to show how this method works. Also planning to show how to decode by sight through the shackle hole if you pick the keyhole on the back.

Michael Gilchrist 2024-06-16 | This ASSA Twin Combi has 6 tree spool driver pins with matching countermilling in the plug. In addition, 3 of the 5 side chambers are populated with finger pins that need to be rotated and lifted to set into a sidebar. I'll be attempting to pick this a Rytan 0.023" hook, a Multipick MP10 flag, and a top of keyway (TOK) tensioner from Aliexpress.

[L237] How to add grub screws to a lock for locksport - and some reasons why youd want to do so

Michael Gilchrist 2023-12-12 | When getting started in locksport, it's very useful to have a lock with grub screws. This will help you change pins and springs quickly in a lock without needing the skills to be able to gut and reassemble it the traditional way.
This can be useful when learning how to gut and reassemble a lock, as well as when working on progressive pinning, or adding security pins to a lock for learning.

Some items needed, example links, you may need to find it elsewhere depending on which country you are in:
- M4 tap and 3.3mm drill bit amazon.com/gp/product/B0719DB5RV
- M4 grub screws amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3QMOV0
- 2mm allen key (or size that goes with the grub screws you purchase)
- A lock that you're going to do this to

[L236] Abloy Protec 2 - resin key

Michael Gilchrist 2023-06-24 | Using just a photo (thumbnail for this video), Reinder created a parametrically generated key STL (STL is a file format used in 3d printing) to enable me to resin print a working key for the Protec 2.

[L235] GlobalLock GLK X18S - pick and gut

Michael Gilchrist 2023-06-05 | This Portuguese lock from the company GlobalLock has 16 pins arranged in 4 rows of 4 pins. Picking it on camera took much longer than anticipated, as I had picked it in just a couple minutes prior to filming, but I wanted to make sure I got the gutting in as I hadn't seen another video doing so.

Michael Gilchrist 2023-04-29 | This 6-pin lock is full of security spooled pins combined with tricky warding which makes the high lifts particularly challenging. I do not gut this lock as it's not possible without damaging it and it does not belong to me.

[L232] Shimming a lock from the back w. Progressive pinning bonus!

Michael Gilchrist 2023-04-08 | Demonstration of how to shim a lock from behind. Often useful if you do not have the key and need to gut a lock in order to make a key for it, see the internals, or progressive pin.
Progressive pinning bonus at the end demonstrating what is meant when someone advises you to progressive pin a lock to learn how to pick it.

Sorry this is a bit rough, the audio recorder corrupted the sd card and had to use camera audio.

[L231] Master Lock 140 Padlock - in depth dive on how to pick

Michael Gilchrist 2022-03-27 | This video has gone live on the Lockpickers United (LPU) channel here: youtube.com/watch?v=c-zFyTSx-WM

This might be a typical first lock a new picker would try to pick. I take an in depth look at the thought process of picking one of these using the first set of picks I ever owned. This video assumes that the basic theory behind lockpicking is already known.

[L228] Ingersoll OS711 Padlock - pick and partial gut

Michael Gilchrist 2022-02-13 | This padlock has 10 levers that interact with a unique, swinging, sidebar. There are 5 levers that you interact with on top, and 5 on the bottom, and it uses a non-reversible key. I probably use too much tension in this video and that slows me down quite a bit.

Michael Gilchrist 2022-02-10 | This lock has 5 wafers up top and 5 sliders on the side that interact with both the cylinder (like wafers) and a sidebar. The top wafers are very easy, but the sliders present an interesting challenge as I have found that they jiggle in their false gates even if they're the last "binders".

Michael Gilchrist 2022-02-03 | This lock has 6 chambers, the driver pins are all gin spools that catch in counter milling on every chamber of the plug. Picking it involves getting the gins into the counter milling which triggers a false set, then float picking each gin out of the counter milling.

Michael Gilchrist 2022-01-30 | This lock has 5 pin-in-pin drivers, some of them are spooled, one has a single seration. The outer keypins have counter milling which traps the inner driver pins in them, making this a very tricky pick.

[L219] Gege AP2000 Euro Cylinder Lock - pick and gut

Michael Gilchrist 2022-01-24 | This lock has crazy warding protecting its 5 pins from picking. In addition, the driver pins are all spooled (or widely serrated), some multiple times. There is counter-milling present on chambers 2 to 5 but this doesn't play a role as the lips are too wide on the driver pins to interact with.

Michael Gilchrist 2022-01-22 | This two row camlock has 5 pins on the right, 4 pins on the left. From CorrectJeans' video I saw that each driver pin is a t-pin, ie. there is a step down as you pick it, which leads to most pins having to be picked twice. Thanks to Georgia Jim for this loaner!

Michael Gilchrist 2022-01-20 | While this lock has 12 wafers in it, the first two do not move at all, so in reality it is a 10 wafer lock. Picking it involves pushing each wafer approximately 2mm up from its starting position, the starting position simply varies on each wafer.

[L212] Dimple locks vs. traditional pin tumbler locks

Michael Gilchrist 2021-12-20 | Been seeing a lot of confusion and questions around dimple locks and what makes them different. In reality, they're just a normal pin tumbler, but the key has been turned on the side and the bitting is cut on the wide face of the key rather than the narrow face. This generally requires different tools to pick as you don't have the vertical space to use a normal hook or rake.

Michael Gilchrist 2021-12-06 | This lock has 5 top pins all with standard key pins and driver pins. In addition, it has 4 "sliders" or wafers on each side that block the plug rotation by extending into the cylinder walls. While a slightly narrow area to work with between the sliders, overall the lock doesn't present much difficulty...unless you overset a top pin while picking sliders and fail to reset the top a few times.

The sliders have nubs sticking into the keyway that interact with two separate cuts on the key (which is reversable), and have false gates on them to increase picking difficulty by a lot!

Michael Gilchrist 2021-11-29 | This lock has 7 pins, counter milling on the plug, and some very sharp spools. Overall the lock has very tight tolerances which leads to a lot of ping ponging.

Michael Gilchrist 2021-11-27 | This lock is fascinating as it has 3 different locking mechanisms in it. The first side I pick takes the longest and has 4 sliders with false gates that interact with a sidebar. The second side is pretty quick and just has 3 pin-tumbler style pins with standard drivers. The fourth side has 4 sliders that are like wafers in that they poke out of the sides of the plug to lock it.
Had a bit of a hard time explaining what I was encountering while picking this lock.

[L204] Opnus UX Camlock - pick and bit of disaster

Michael Gilchrist 2021-11-24 | After picking this 13 pin Opnus UX, I had a bit of a disaster as pins dropped into the open keyway. I ended up mangling 3 springs, but was able to get the 3 large bible covers off and get the lock back to working order. It ended up having a couple of spooled driver pins and I'll include a picture of most of the pins at the end of the video (could not remove 2 of the pin stacks as one had the short bible cover I couldn't remove, and the other was blocked from being removed by the front cap).

Michael Gilchrist 2021-11-07 | This is an older Goal P lock which has spools on all chambers (2 tapered with thin lip, 3 straight with thin lip, 1 straight with wide lip) and what seems to be countermilling and overmilling on each chamber in the plug. The keypins are all mushroom pins which generally means that if you get an overset you'll be resetting and starting over.

Michael Gilchrist 2021-11-02 | Pick and gut of a classic American core. This lock has 6 pin chambers, but only 5 are populated with a mix of spooled and serrated driver pins as well as serrated key pins.

[L200] Banham m2002 Lock - pick

Michael Gilchrist 2021-10-27 | This Banham m2002 has 12 pins arranged in 6 pairs that face and touch each other. The locking mechanism is very unique compared to other locks on the market. Sorry about getting a sloppy open on this one at the end, there was something that probably just needed a tiny bit of jiggling into place. Also, looking at the key, it looks like the 6th pair of pins are a zero lift (are set correctly at rest) which is why when I go to manipulate them I find I don't need to move them at all.

[L199] Japanese Miwa U9 Lock Cylinder (smooth wafer version) - pick and gut

Michael Gilchrist 2021-10-20 | This U9 has 9 wafers (levers) with some mastering. The wafers are the older "smooth wafer" version and are contained in a lock that is unlike my previous video in which I went through the gut process for the various lock formats.
