See, I thought that he would have made the glass pins incredibly thin, so if someone (AKA Bill), were to try and pick it, the glass could break, permanently disabling the lock.

Well, you would have to pick the other pins first, otherwise you couldn't turn the core to break the stuck glass pin. And with the core being jammed because of the glass pin, it would be difficult to know when the rest of the pins are set. If you were able to pick the other pins, then yeah, I can see what you mean. Hmm. Now you got me thinking about the how to best use this technology. Is there a way to design a pin that, when broken, completely jams the cylinder, but not so fragile that it can be forced to break. Perhaps a pin made of a metal part, and a fragile glass part, where, if the glass breaks during picking, the pin can no longer reach the shear line? I wonder how one could create such a monster.

Glass key pins with metal drivers would be better than glass+glass, right? Break the glass, and the driver falls in. Shape it right and it would be a pain in the rear to work with again.

It's nice to hear the pins moving. Gives all us rookies a nice idea of what to listen for, and make it feel like we're in the room with you.

If you are interested in picking up lockpick sounds, consider playing around with a piezo microphone that you can stick to the lock itself. It picks up vibrations through conduction. They are used on guitars (and other instruments) to pickup sound. If you run this mic as it's own recording you can overlay it with your other audio track. You just need a way to synchronize the feeds. A nice sharp snap sound can help with lining up the audio. This method might require some post processing with something like Audacity.

Once the glass pin has shattered, the remaining shards may be small enough to crush by turning the lock. Also, if the glass pin was fragile enough to break from bumping, it would be dangerously close to fragile enough to fail in normal use.

I like being able to hear the clicks better thanks Bill!!! =D

The shims. Lol, you always double shim and have trouble putting them in. If you have trouble its probably two shims. Ive never shimmed anything. But every time you have trouble I literally call it and then laugh. This one was especially awesome. 6:00 "there's definitely something caught there". lol

The gutting part is always the most interesting.

I have always, since I was a child, been interested in locks and lock picking. Your channel is right up my alley. Thank you for all the information.

Your vocal audio was fine. It was merely lowered a bit when changing direction. Please continue to mic the pins. Great experimentation with the non-metallic pins. I've used a bit of wire, a tiny length of toothpick, and a bit Q-tip shaft.

I have recently found myself watching a LOT of your videos. Very entertaining and educational. Looking at picking up a set of tools and giving picking a try!

i love to see these small improvements you make. every video seems to be more thought trought than the one before

I like hearing the lock clicking, however I would like to hear you as well. Great vid as always. Thanks!

Best guess for the glass pins is to stop people brute forcing the lock? Only other idea is that the glass pin is harder to bind.

Im wondering why I am even watching these fancy locks, when I still can't even pick a master lock #3.

He wallowed out 4 and 6 so he could choose the binding order, regardless of which direction you were applying tension. It looks sloppy, but it's actually quite clever.

Not going to lie, listening to people do precision work has always had an ASMR effect on me. Lock picking, origami, leather working, widdling... you name it. Something about those isolated, crisp noises just sends chills down my spine. It's very strange, but an added bonus, I suppose...

When you first put the mic next to the lock, it was hard to hear you. After you moved away from the lock to make room for the tension wrench, I could hear you much better, and also hear the lock. The best of both worlds.

Who the heck suggested lock picking ASMR? It's genius!

just wanted to say i do enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work

I hope Bill is enjoying his retirement!! In the meantime, I’m starting to rewatch his videos! I saw this when it was brand new and it’s still an awesome video!!

This is the first video ive watxhed with the mic next to the lock, and its literally the best ASMR ever

Me: Don't forget the shim. DON'T FORGET THE SHIM. Wife: Don't forget what? Am I going to the store?

Yes with the microphone.. nice improvement. Goes great with the awesome camera work.

I never thought I would like lockpicking ASMR

I liked the mic by the lock. Not sure why people are saying they can't hear you when you're perfectly clear. Helps us newbies know the sounds of certain things.

when he bites the glass pin and you hear a crunch, made me cringe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm glad to offer any helpful information I have which I completely learned by making mistakes. I have an aftermath video from a stuck T pin stuck in the smaller diameter hole beside the fourth pin chamber on the ABUS 83 series core. (I think that hole is for disabling a master/contractor key by catching a bearing) I replaced that brass core with two new ones ordered from lockitt.com for $9.99 a piece. LOL. Actually the funniest part is I included the shim with an 83AL/45 challenge lock I sent to Pete Restall. I warned him of that small pin hole and sent him pictures even so that he wouldn't get the T pin stuck. Two weeks later, I made the exact mistake I warned him could potentially happen.

Alright now that was a good intro, short sweet and to the point. Hope you keep it.

unique pinning, great pick Mr.Bill

I'd say that glass pin in combination with the threading means that the glass pin would eventually grind itself down faster than metal does. This means the lock has to be changed every so often, or else the glass pin will shatter (or grind itself down completely) and you'd be S.O.L. trying to unlock it even with the key. The glass pin didn't present any anti-pick challenges, so it must serve another purpose. That's just speculation on my part though. I have never seen any locks with "forced expiration" devices inside.

@mattlogue1300

Glass is more hard than brass, FYI

Just ordered a Sparrows beginner kit. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Glass pins could be used as a way to break the pin and lock and grind the core to a stand still if it turns into sand. Use more brittle glass just enough to throw off the lock picker.

Use a Prince Rupert's Drop for the pins so that the key only engages the glass pins a specific way, and anything other than that key-to-pin interface causes the picking interaction to shatter the pins.

John Keo Depending on the situation having a lock that fails shut when bumped might be the perferred option. A lock can always be drilled out and replaced by the owner.

Oh heck yeah, lock pickin' sounds

really love the new mic positioning

I'd rather pick something softer than metal(like pvc) instead of something harder than metal like glass.

Now we can watch Bill pick the lock as we also look at what could be a chain mail scrotum. omfg. @ 2:52 the audio improved 100% when you moved the mic. Invest in a contact mic, if you want the viewers to hear the clicks, but please let us hear your running comments also.

I wonder if glass pin would hold up against that powered vibratory lock pick you showed recently, or would it crack/pulverize and mess up the lock.

The wallowing is something I've considered doing to cause false sets when a lock is tensioned with out a key. If I get bored enough I might make one with threaded-rod, or similar.

Just started pickling locks a few days ago. Found the 1105 (ALC) and then see this video. RIP

Bill may be a good idea to get a small mic and attatch it to the vice, two sound feeds, voice and clear clickity clicks of the locks.

@kennym2977

There seems to be lots of confusion about glass used in safes so I'll respond to this comment at random. The glass anti-drill plate does not jam any part of the mechanism in a safe. Large steel rods propelled by heavy springs are released when the glass is broken. The glass merely moves out of the way so that stronger materials can engage and "jam the lock."

and so, the first ever "lockpick asmr" was made.

Great Video, Thanks so much.

That one pin reminds me of the spike part of an old fashioned lightbrite

Great review

Awesome video. I wonder what other materials could be used? What if a rubber or plastic was used, something that was give a squishy feel when picking?

That was a lot of special work, but it opened quick.

Do you think the intention of the glass pin is that, perhaps upon a forced and speedy raking the glass pin might break a bit? Rendering any (and maybe unknowingly) further attempts at picking futile?

I think the serrations were actually on 4 (after it got turned around and he started pulling pins from the back). Also, the glass pins may not have much effect on SPP, but might the idea have been to defeat a bump key? Unfortunately, glass is harder than brass, I think the idea could work, just need weaker glass.
