I collect and pick neat locks. If you also have neat locks, and want some of my neat locks, we can talk to each other and determine what neat locks I send to you in return for neat locks that you send to me.
Excellent video. Great job on the pick and gut and your explanation of the mechanism was fantastic. Hope you have more time to do some other interesting locks bud ❤
Very nice! Guessing they figured no one would be crazy enough to try it so didn't bother with security pins. Imagine what a couple of spools would do for dropping pins.
It was part of one of the sped up parts, unfortunately, but the driver pins are all "cup" pins, which are mostly hollow to allow the spring to sit further down, making the full stack shorter. The only lock I've ever seen have a security version of cup pins was a specific format of ASSA Twin, which had a single side of a barrel on the end. But that only works because the spool element is so tiny and shallow, and because it interacts with countermilling. Overall it's pretty tricky to make effective spools in this particular case without sacrificing something.
@@CorrectJeans makes perfect sense. Guess it depends how deep the cup goes, I have a bunch of cupped pins on various Goal locks that have spooling or one ended barrel to them (and I think perhaps the Sargent Kesos might as well?). They likely either have counter or overmilling as well.
Not that this is not impressive, however having that lock fixed on a thick door pushes the difficulty up quite a bit. 30 years ago I was going to make a dedicated pick for the lock but never got around to it. Not a popular safe here in the MidWest. I am sure a few picks have been made for it in the meantime.
Absolutely, and there are much more effective tools that already exist for this (video of a self-impressioning tool linked in the description). This was primarily done for the following reasons: a) "Fun" b) Someone dared me to do it EDIT: Seems that self-impressioning video doesn't exist anymore, bummer. You'll just have to take my word for it.
Ese tipo de chapa esta mal hecha las llaves siempre se quedan metidas en la chapa las otras si trabajan bien de la misma canto soy cerrajero 20 años soy experto en chapas de puertas
I like coming back to this every once in a while. Just to remind me that we are lucky that 95% of locks have a lot of documentation from those that came before, but the top of the game has to figure locks like this out in real time, over hours and days and weeks in the vice trying to figure it out.
Man I wanna pick that lock😂🤣. I’m working on float pickin. How I found this. Thanks for it! That’s intimidating. Very cool picking! 👏👏🔥😎. Well shown through.
Hello! Hope you are well! Can you help me pls! I’m trying to find place where I can buy this lock “Fichet-Bauche M2B” Maybe you some information or you have some to sell. Thank you and have a great weekend!
It's always possible that if you are the first to go first the whole process Is easy as you go,and Then yourself and other's learn from you. I belive that most of the pickers in this day and age start with the sidebar First then on to the upper key pins,but like you I have a brand new lock That I can get no movement on the side but get movment on the top Pins. I also have a ASSA twin COMBI (basic model) that has a very strong Springed side bar that I belive was reassembled incorrectly, I stripped It down and had a lot of trouble trying to find out how to get a balanced pin stack. The key pins was relatively easy as I simply put the key in and built the pins Back to the sheer line,sounds easy but in one chamber it held three pins, And another two! That left the top pins, again there was three different sizes,no help there. So my task has been to get as much information as possible watching a number Of pickers,and you was one! Hench I watched the whole of your vid. So good luck with your next pick,which ever it may be.billbo. Are you in the states by the way,I do watch Michael gilchrist on a regular basis.
Well what to say and where to start, Obviously a long and quite tirering vid to watch, you must have Been quite fit to stay focused on the lock at hand and well done For staying with it.i have a hundred questions to ask but haveing only Just finished watching this a break is in order,so I will simply say Well done,and I enjoyed the vid, thanks,billbo
I have been watching a few vids on this fantastic and frustrating lock, Well done on both the picking and then gutting, with a good explanation, billbobaggins.
As I have only just obtained a squire ss65 with a kaba 20 core,I had no reason or need to investigate this great core. A great job on first PICKING, then the confidence in taking the core apart. You gave a very good explanation with the picking, and indeed all the procedures You followed with after. Thanks for a great vid on a great lock,billbobaggins.
Do you think it would be possible to impression this lock? This is not surely your average tubular lock but self-impressioning works in surprisingly many locks. Perhaps 3D printed plastic key without any cuts might do it?
