![[L146] Bricard Chifral Picked](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UK_dT7NiM14/mqdefault.jpg "[L146] Bricard Chifral Picked
Bricard Chifral in this example has 15 pins in 3 rows. 2 pins are interactive. A nice mix of T pins and tapered divers make this a tricky pick. Shout out to Yabende Locksport for sending me some locks. Here is his video to show the internals and watch an amazing picker, pick the same lock. Cheers and thanks for watching

This example of U-Shin Showa has 6 pins. The Driver pins are deep and thing lipped. Key pins have spooled section for over set trap. Keyway was slightly tricky, and has holes in right side warding to use. Cheers and thanks for watching

Today we have a Wittkopp cawi optima 264 as the title suggests. This lock has 8 lever with aggressive false gates and matching groove on the stump. Only lever 8 is sprung and the rest do not have springs. Picking out of false gates will most likely drop other levers. Jiggle test works really well on true gates and false gates still feel tight in a few ways. I believe as of the recording of this it is a public first. Im sure some safe tecs have picked them but I have not ever seen a public video on it. Cheers and thanks for watching

JPM quartz in this example has 6 tapered driver pins on the bible side and 2 pins stacks with over milling in the bottom. As well as an interactive element. It reminded me of the Tesa tx80 and the like. Some minor differences that I observed. Thanks for stopping by and cheers

![[L161] Alpha FB Picked](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XHBLgXj4B4I/mqdefault.jpg "[L161] Alpha FB Picked
This example of Alpha FB has 12 pins in 4 rows. The key pins are over set traps and the drivers are all HPC style mushroom spools. Lots of core movement, and it was easy to drop stuff. Oversets feel like they are inevitable. Dont be daunted just flutter tension. It felt forgiving compared to most HPC locks I have picked. Cheers and thanks for stopping by

Tierkey Fuki in this example is 17 pins in 3 rows. Each side has a row of 6 pins and the top has a row of 5 pins. This was on loan so I didnt want to gut it unless I had to. Felt like typical 3 row high pin count locks with spools on med/high lifts. Thanks for watching and cheers
