Abloy Protec2 picked & gutted (Protec2 study part 3/4)
Step by step learning to pick a new lock type:
1. make a cutaway: DONE
2. learn how lock operates: DONE
3. make a pick that is able to make needed turnings without disturbing other discs: DONE
4. use pick to open a cutaway lock: DONE
5. use pick to open a known lock: THIS VIDEO
6. blind pick locks: Protec2 study part 4/4
In the last two videos (parts 1/4 and 2/4) I used a cutaway Protec2 lock, to present how the picking tip is functioning and how the lock operates. Now tested picking a normal lock. Before starting to pick the lock, the lock is reseted using the key, this reseting is required for a locksport picking video.
After the lock is picked the lock is gutted to show that there is no modifications done into the lock (some of fellow locksporters expect that the lock is modified for easier picking experience, if its not gutted after picking).
Used tip can turn bittings 0-5 to the both directions. To bitting 6 only to push, and return back using the disk controller. In order to be able to have both directions for bitting 6 a two tips concept is required: Second tip has an angle offset in a way that its able to handle bittings 1-6, but not bitting 0. Using both its possible to have full control over 0-6, maybe a 3in1 pick?
Disclaimer:
A known lock is picked. No practical security risks involved if considering a blind picking a protec2 lock using the presented pick in a reasonable time.
