[85] 11 Pin (Pin-in-Pin) Tubular Lock Picked

What a find! In a pile of cheap locks, I came across something that I had never seen before: an 11 pin, pin-in-pin, tubular lock made by the Chicago Lock Company in the 1970s. In this video, I give you an up close view of how to pick this UL rated lock.

    Very clear camera work, and brilliant picking of a fairly rare tubular lock. I would think this is possibly a first on camera. Loved the video, well done.

    The tubular pin in pin was Chicago Lock Company’s temporary solution circa 1970’s until they developed the Tubar Lock. In perspective there were crude tubular picks made from pipe nipples and rubber bands used by the bad guys and pin in pin was a solution. The end of the patents for tubular locks caused copy cats. Tubar was probably mid 1980’s as the vending lock to compete with Medeco. Medeco has had key breakage problems as vending people are in and out often and big rings of heavy keys caused stress and the deep number 6 cut was where most would break off. Tubar is superior.

    Wow, great find and superb picking. It's quite an exhausting job to completely open it by picked it three times. Guess the binding order will differ after each turn. Interesting that a complicated tool was made for a lock which is rarely seen.

    +Potti314 Thanks. As for multiple picking... the good news is that one position (top) is disabled because there's no driver pin, and only every other position engages the pin in pin functionality. As such, subsequent pickings are a little easier. In addition, you can always try the business card trick. But you are right that picking one of these in the wild would likely be a chore.

    8 жыл бұрын

    +waddac2 Thank you. It's definitely worth getting a tension tool IMO for things like ACE II that are not susceptible to impressioning attacks. Alternately, for locks like that, try a large wiper insert between the notches in the core and housing. It will let you pick one position, after which you can use your tool to impression the key when its in between pins. As always, thanks for watching and commenting!

  • @waddac2

  • @lockpickinglawyer

    @lockpickinglawyer

    8 жыл бұрын

    waddac2 No... just use a standard wide wiper insert tension tool. Stick the tip in such that it makes contact with the inside of the notch in the lock body and notch in the core. Then apply tension... usually heavy tension is required. I experimented with this and it works ok, but a dedicated tool is much better.

    As a sub-armature; been picking and learning for 2 months and making fairly good progress. I thank you for your videos they are very informative. I have been concentrating on relatively simple locks so far. I thought you might have a tip or two on developing my "feel" I can isolate pins (knowing I am on 3,4 or 5 pin(s)). Trouble is feeling a bind or other feed back from a pin. I have a mulitpick set and 4 cheapo sets. Mulipick is great but the handles are sharp, other sets have a plastic handle, but business ends are awful. After all that my thinking lead me to dip the handle of the multipicks In a rubber compound like found on wire cutter handles. Would doing this dampen the feel? The feedback is were I having trouble, any tricks practicing reading what I am feeling. I did surgery for 20 years so I have good sense of feel even when I cannot see with my eye my brain sees it for me, if that makes sense. I try and practice 2-3 hours most days never picking the same lock twice I have even made some of my own picks from .025 to .05 thou from stainless shim stock as well. Yes I am a machinist as well, sounds weird surgeon machinist (don't ask). Sorry I did not have the time to write a shorter comment.

Keep in mind that I've just read and heard of this method so I have no idea if or how well it actually works Do you think it would be possible to impression it after you've picked it the first time? I am talking about the whole business card with a bit of duct tape on the edge forced into to lock thing so you don't have to pick it twice more. Thanks!

    I love watching your videos. I have a few questions... If you don't mind saying, approximately how much did this eBay collection cost you? Also, in another comment, you mentioned the "business card trick" in relation to triple picking this lock to get a full one-quarter turn. What is the "business card trick" ? Oh, and, was there only the one, or did the collection include more than one of these "pin-in-pin" locks?

    I don’t remember the cost, but about $.50 per Lock. It was cheap. That was the only pin in pin lock in the collection. Business card trick is a form of impressioning a key... roll it up and shove it into the keyway. 👍

They go from bound up to being springy with a tiny, tiny bit of travel. As for locks you made (challenge locks), PM me when you are ready and we can work the details of a trade out.
