Lock Noob

I might not be a noob any more, but my channel is dedicated to new and intermediate lock pickers. I discuss techniques, review tools and pick lots of locks. I am a tool designer who works with multiple manufacturers including Sparrows Lock Picks, Multipick and Wendt. Happy Picking!

All items sent at senders own risk. Please also understand that while I try and feature things sent to me, I unfortunately can't feature everything and have long lead times.

I shouldn't have to say this but do not pick locks in use or locks that are not explicitly owned by yourself unless you have the express permission from their owners and that they understand the risk of damage picking may cause. ALWAYS keep it fun ALWAYS keep it legal. Don't make picking a crime.

    The cheapest Abus I can find around here (in an allegedly rich country) is about £2.30, but it's not that red variant, just a tiny brass thing that looks like you can rip it apart with your bare hands. In fact, that's how I've seen many of the Abus padlocks here opened - they've been cheap and flimsy, and didn't even need picking or cutting.

    They're all doing this these days. Squire and Sterling are outsourcing a bunch of crap locks to China to be made dirt cheap. Must be a good reason but it certainly reduces my faith in these brands.

    I see so many positive comments about this video. The Title states "Impressioning and Decoding a Tubular Lock to Make a New Key" when it is NOT IMPRESSIONING a key... this video shows only how to DECODE and CUT a Barrel Key. Thanks for mislabeling your video sir, now how do I get my wasted EXTREMEL VALUABLE time back from you?... THUMBS DOWN... Sorry!

    I get making your own tools...it's part of lockpicking. But when you make a tool for a very select type of Chinesium locks that saves not that much time...release the design for free, don't sell it 😶 lol

    You could cut the excess off the handle end of all those picks, so you have six double ended picks. Then you could either put them all in the plastic handles knowing that you have pre-prepared spares of them all, or you could sand them down to 15 thou so you can have both thicknesses of all of those picks. Cool set. I might consider it.

    Once the core turns, the sidebar will hold the discs in place, so I imagine you decode like you would with any lishi

    #90 is a load of malarkey! I was stuck on a lock for a whole day, and after I'd had about 4-5 drinks, I was able to pick the lock multiple times in a row in under 20 seconds. 😂 Granted, I am a beginner and it wasn't a difficult lock...

    I'm new to picking and I've had a bit of difficulty picking my abus diskus because of the narrow and obstructed keyway. I'm pretty inexperienced with anything other than master locks, which I've managed to open every one I've come across. I've only recently started picking stuff outside of master and I have come to realize how bad master locks really are.

    How do I know they are all at the shear line and I can pull the tool out without them all moving? Is it just visually seeing them all level, or does it make a sound? I can't understand how you know when you can pull the tool out to open it.
