welcome to my first picking video where I try to talk a bit about what I am doing and how I attack, in this case, an Abus D6. Just to be clear, the Abus engineers are not hatefull people, we should appreciate that they spend their time with making locks that aren't that expensive but fun and entertaining to pick.
If you have any questions, feel free to write them in the comments, I try to answer them from the best of my knowledge, if I talked bullshit at any point, feel free to tell me that as well.

Essentially I found it harder to set the whole sidebar because of heavy ping ponging, so setting and dropping pins over and over again. Also a last tip, make sure you can comfortable set a side pin high enough with your tool in case you have a max lift on them. They set quite high.

I put the sad moment of the broken pick at the beginning to remind especially new viewers that the majority of picking videos is well rehearsed and will make it look like it works smooth all the time. This is definitely not the case and don't let all the super fast and perfect videos out there fool you, there is always a ton of failure behind the scenes and practice involved. This video took me more then ten attempts and I ruined a pick :-)

Stay on track and be careful that you don't pick any warding, especially in locks that need some more tension its easy to bend you picks by accidentally pick the wrong thing.

Usually the "story" for the trick is more for adults and I had to soften it a bit, you might understand what I mean :-) And if you can trust wikipedia, Trelock was part of the Winkhaus GmbH until 2001 and then left the company. I link the article below. If you can get your hands on one of that locks then give it a try. They are fun and usually come with challenge lock bitting right from the factory.

youtube.com/channel/UCYmcilCD4aR0wWTISIXOgKg(12) Tutorial - How to gut double euro cylinder with segmented followersMokis Locksport2020-08-30 | Hey folks, I hope this video can help a few people to gut their locks without cutting them in half. Please remember, this is all very basic, there are so many different locks, its not possible to make a all-in-one tutorial. What I forgot to mention, the inner diameter of the core housing can differ as well. A lot of standard euros have the same, but in the Abus Bravus series for example the diameter is bigger, therefore the segmented follower from the video won't work very well in them.
Because a lot of people might ask it, I want to give you the answere right here; I used the HUK 12 piece disassembly kit in the video. I will not post a link here but you will find when you search for it. You get a good selection of gutting tools in one set. If you have access to a 3D-Printer, you can basically print everything you need by yourself.

Nice lock, the feedback is superb and the Dom engineers once again gave us a lock with pins definitely worth to take a look at and lots of fun to pick. The interactive element is not as hard to reach like in the ix6sr but because we have to deal with quite some more pins its still challenging. Here are some time stamps, its really a long pick and gut and I dont want you to fall asleep right in the beginning:
00:00 Key pins / Driver pins 01:18 Pins and their behaviour depending on the tension 02:45 Rest of the guts / interactive element 03:28 Tools 04:18 Start picking (yeah really :-)) 07:50 Open 09:00 Start gutting 11:55 Guts close-up

youtube.com/channel/UCYmcilCD4aR0wWTISIXOgKg(10) Yale Superior (9 pins + 4 sliders) explored, picked and guttedMokis Locksport2020-08-16 | Hey folks, I hope you like the closer look at the yale superior. Quite a fun lock, my first one with sliders and I learned quite a lot from it. I forgot to mention, that I use a wiper insert tensioner and you might have seen, that I am bouncing a bit setting the sliders. I felt that this was more effective than just simply push them. One thing to add for the sidebar. I tried to point out that you have to overcome the spring tension itself to set the sidebar. Not like in the DOM ix6 SR where the side bar just drops as soon as you set the interactive pin. In this case you need almost zero tension that the side bar can drop. Because its a long video let me give you some time stamps that you can jump right to the part you want to see:
00:00 Credits 00:50 Slider close up and some infos 02:45 Pins in general, tools and some words for the sidebar 04:50 Start Picking pins 06:25 Start picking sliders 07:58 Open 13:25 Guts and close up

A very fun lock that took me a few attempts to figure out how to attack it. At least in this particular lock the two rows don't seperate from each other and the binding order was everytime different. A nice feature that forced me to pick it everytime like it is the first time. And sorry for struggling with the language at some points :-)

Very entertaining and I would say, a good lock when you just start with dimple picking. Very precise and good feedback, the not very deep spools might respond barely noticable but this is also a good training.

youtube.com/channel/UCYmcilCD4aR0wWTISIXOgKg(5) A tribute to a snowman - Habo lock picked and guttedMokis Locksport2020-07-12 | Thanks to u/engineersnowman from reddit or the discord. He is an awesome pickmaker and really nice guy on top. This video is a little thank you for stuff he sent me and what can be a better honour than pick a lock from him, with a pick he made and gut it with his tray and follower;-)
As a little correction for the keypins; I am not really sure if they count as tapered per definition. They are slightly tapered but maybe this is just for a better interaction between key- and driver pins and the the core turning inside the body. But the reduced diamter matches the reduced tips of the christmas trees very well and might cause problems when you push the pins too hard.

And last but not least: Dont pick locks in use or locks that are not yours!(4) DOM ix5 kg picked and guttedMokis Locksport2020-07-04 | In this little video I show you the DOM ix5 kg, a very cool lock because of these rattlesnake pins and the interactive element. Sadly they couldn't hit in with full power. In a szenario with very high set pins you have to pick more than one ring on them and that combines this spool behaviour with serrated pin feeling. I still have a RS5 with exactly this situation and it laughs at me more than it should....

There are different versions on the market, for example a model with two sidebars. As soon as I can get my hands on one of them I make a pick and gut as well. So far I hope to entertain you with this version and I am sorry if I used wrong terms from time to time. You don't want to see whats in my head going on when I talk english while picking :-)

I maybe missed a few thinks, for example to show you the lockbody and the grooves in there, where the sidebar locks up when a key with the right bitting but wrong key control cuts is used. Second, I counted three grooves while looking for the actuator. In this grooves are the tips of the keypins sitting and the sidebar pin is at the beginning of groove nr. 3.
