Kaba Expert+ in this example has 22 pins in 4 rows. 6 left, 5 top left, 6 top right, 5 right. Lots of over set traps on key pins, and acts really tapered. Thanks for watching and stopping by. Cheers

![[L162] Zikon WSW Exterior Picked and Gutted](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mvnk_6w20Co/mqdefault.jpg "[L162] Zikon WSW Exterior Picked and Gutted
Zikon WSW exterior has 2 sidebars and 6 pins on top. Top stack has 3 spools and 3 standards for 6 pins on top. Right sidebar has pins populated in side chambers 1&5. This is the big difference for picking between the interior and exterior. Left sidebar has 5 sliders. All sliders have nice serrations and a true gate. With key interaction on sliders nub located biased left or right for more key space and mastering options. Thanks for watching and cheers

MT5+ is a 5 pin in pin with 5 springless sliders and the alpha driver interactive. My example had spooled inner pins with milled key pins and over milling on the chambers. I found this to be and enjoyable picking experience. Thanks for watching and cheers. Feel free to like comments and subscribe.

This example of fichet 480 has zero mastered elements and really well done false gates. 10 levers in 4 rows. I had to resort to float picking for much of this. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching. Cheers
Shout out to @yabende for the awesome work on this 480 to make it easy to gut. Please check out his channel lots of amazing picking and content.

This example of Abus GDS has tree drivers and no counter milling. So similar to the last Abus GDS it was much easier than the ASSA equivalent pinning set up. No counter milling is sad. Thanks for watching and cheers

This is a Lob Lobix XT. This example has 6 pins and a mix of spools. I found it harder to overset then all standard version. However security pins did add to the challenge. The keyway is the biggest battle for these locks imho.
