interesting fact on this lock is that any "Tibbe" key will lock the car, but only the original key will open it, real pain if you have 2 Fords but only 1 set of keys seen it happen many times where Tradesmen lock the firms van with their car key. Then see that the key is in the ingition and the spare set is at a HQ 100 miles away.

Actually, you can lock it with just regular flat head screwdriver.. Also, keys are much much softer than plates in lock itself and they worn out relatively quckly. IIRC, plates aren't very special, for unlocking, whem they align, small pin allows barrel to turn, and for locking direction, barrel turns freely

Also if you use the Tibbe on a very worn ford lock, the tibb goes in fine, its just getting it out again. It can get caught up and jamb on its removal. So beware, don't insert it when the daylight hours are fading fast for the first time, give yourself plenty of time if this should happen as it did to me. Ended up removing the whole barrel to remove the Tibbe. See my video on how to remove a Ford Connect barrel. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4Jpw8hrdLWwn7w.html

when these showed up here in Brazil about the year 2000 the car vendors used to say that no one could pick those locks... they only lasted for 1 generation of ford cars and then ford switched back to standard locks, the vendors said it was because they were too expensive to make. Thanks for showing me the truth about them.

I am not a lock enthusiast, but I love these videos. What amazes me is how all of these manufacturers have utterly failed in innovating lock systems to be at least a little more challenging to pick. Surely there are ways to make locks more secure!!! After watching these videos I have a very different perspective on locks in general. It make me realize just how unsecure all my stuff is. Thank you, because it is better to know than have a false sense of security.

Ive stripped and rebuilt these locks many many times. With a little practice you can read the key number just by looking at the key. Thanks for the vid.

Just an observation, most companies that use vehicles with this type of cylinder, install secondary deadlocks in the doors and an immobiliser. In many cases it's an insurance requirement.

Thing with the '80s fords (pre PATS) is the tibbe locks weren't even the weakest link. Ever heard of "snapped n capped"? Basically the steering locks were cheese so just turn the steering hard enough and it'd break off, then pull the column casing and unclip the "cap" (ignition switch) from the back of the barrel, insert tool of choice and drive away in your new ford... Vauxhalls weren't as bad but nearly, Rover at least required the cap to be unscrewed once you'd twisted the barrel off the column but PSA Peugeot/Citroen... I lost the keys to my 205 and I can tell you I feel safer leaving an old pug out at night without an immobiliser than anything else.

I believe the Merkur Scorpio used that same key. I was completely obsessed with keys and would go to hardware stores and collect miscuts. Love your videos.

I have to say this tool is amazing I used it this morning after watching this video a few months ago I got the key from eBay I can’t believe how easy it was then again anything is easy when you have a cheat sheet thanks to you LPL!

I’ve just found this video. I had a tibbie pick when working as a roadside breakdown mechanic. By far one of the fastest picks I used, along with a HU66 rake! Some locks even opened when checking for a number 4!

I'm from South America and those locks are common in every ford vehicle here. You might get inside the car with that tool but can't start it as the original key has a transponder chip embedded.

In europe ford have moved on with their locks. They went to a laser key 10 cuts 2 tracks external. The latest lock is 10 cuts internal track, implemented on 2017 models.

I had those same keys on my wonderful '94 Fiesta. Brings me back a lot of memories.

Got my Fiesta stolen 4 times with this "amazing thing"... At the end of the metal core there was a white-ish plastic part where the electric wires from ignition come. The thiefs have just to detach the plastic part from the core and put a screwdriver inside to start the car... No need for lockpicking skills or tools. That was my first car and i really liked it alot (apart from the lack of security). I had to put an electronic immobilizer to stop the thefts.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I can verify that these DID in fact make it to the US on the transit vans. I know this because I used to work at a private auto auction here in the SF bay area. I remember when I first saw it I thought it was a funny little thing, and sure enough every single transit had them.

I remember when Ford released these locks, organised criminals worked out a design issue. Half a tennis ball and whack against the lock, causing a rush of air in to the lock, pushing the pins, and opening the lock. So many Ford Transits where stolen that Ford had to design version two, it had air holes. Ford had to do a recall and change version one locks.

Thank you for a great video with understandable instructions. Much appreciated!

These keys/ locks are popular for keeping your fuel tank closed forever. I remember several times trying to open fuel tank doors of Fiestas and Transits at the gas station in the late 90s. Once the owner of the gas station hat to help me with some pliers he stores especially for Fords. Since then i avoid any Ford, got no time for such hassle.

My brother in law used to work for Ford and could get into any ford with this type of lock with nothing but a flat headed screwdriver. Its more to do with the poor build quality of the locks themselves thank his own skill. I will add that the ignition barrels like this one, might be slightly better quality but, if you have one ford key of this type, you'd be amazed at how many other fords you'll be able to gain entry to with that one key, regardless of its shape.

I think the "Falcon" ended up being one of the longest running names Ford has ever had, and given it never had a "clean sheet" design, it can be argued to be the longest running "platform" Ford ever had too.

AMAZING! Hell of a pick!

See, I have one of the best anti-theft devices: a car that looks like it's on it's last legs with nothing worth stealing (the radio has a cassette player!). It looks like it might not run at all, though the engine is actually very good. But it looks like the kind of car you'd have to pay a thief to steal. (There aren't even any worthwhile parts on this car since the manufacturer is no longer in operation and the parts are no longer used except on these cars. I've had to rig a few replacements with generic GM parts because my part was not available)

Dude. This is creepy. I was about to comment this on your latest video because I think these keys are so fascinating and I find this video!! Keep up the great work

My locksmith van is a transit connect, and it uses this key. I can confirm this made it to the US.

Say it with me "JAG-YOU-AR"

Falcon is/was NOT a European car ;) it WAS an American car, which Ford Australia initially just borrowed and converted to RHD, but then ended up designing from the ground up and just keeping the badge/name. FUN FACT about the Ford Tibbe keys (at least in Australian Falcons, not a clue about Euro trash) EVERY SINGLE Falcon Tibbe key will fit ANY Falcon Tibbe door lock.......BUT! it will ONLY lock the lock, NOT unlock it and it will not fit the ignition. This resulted in MANY people finding their car locked with their key in the ignition because they had an asshole friend who thinks he is funny :D luckily it only takes a few seconds to break in to a Ford :P

Was also on the Orion , ka , Mondeo , the big original transit right up to 2013. And some jaguars as you said had that key too in Europe also before the pick thief’s used to knock a hole above the lock and lever the arm or simply bash the lock in with a hammer and push the locking arm with a finger, many many sierras were stolen like that

Those locks always broke!! 😂😂 If I remember right, it was sold as the first secure car door look!😂😂

It's really funny that this video was recommended to me since I was just thinking the other day about whether you could "pick" an ignition as you would a door lock. Kind of spooky since I didn't even say it aloud or search it anywhere though....

The jag ones have one or two extra disc's in the barrel, i'm in uk and these locks were ok, once they worn a bit a worn key could open them with the jiggle style attack, but the lock was not the security flaw to the eu fords, they way they were fitted you only had to make the whole lock move slighty and it operated the mechanism to unlock, do it in the reverse way and it locked the door with no visible damage, also found that any ford tibbe key regardless of cut will lock one of these locks

Very interesting, but not much use here in Canada. Still a good video I'm glad I watched.

Previously in the UK they used a lock based on the AVA design, though looking like disc detainer it was actually a wafer lock as used in CHUBB padlocks. It had the slight downside that it only worked in one direction, thus whilst you needed the correct key to open it, any key would lock it. The other problem was that the wafers stretched slightly in use, the more they stretched the stiffer the lock became and the more force you needed to apply, which stretched the wafers more, til the lock jammed completely. Ford would sell you a new lock and key, but then you'd have odd keys for your car. There was a 'dealer only' lock rebuild kit, which I managed to get my local Ford dealer to sell me on a 'no returns, don't hassle us if you can't do it' basis. I rebuilt my Escort drivers side lock. I fettled it til it was really slick. Nice lock.
