(1063) ABS Magnetic Lock with TRAP Pins! 

Bill, so glad you tested my lock :) Glad it arrived in one piece, and you did a nice detailed review. Keep up the good work!

"not a super tap, just a little tap" *hits the lock loads of times really fucking hard*

I don't believe any of the viewers have issues with your videos running this long. I'd imagine most of them probably enjoy it.

I had one on my front door I lost my key. You are correct about putting it upside down. I was trying to open my door for hours in the end I turned my house upside down and I was in within minutes

use the notch in the end of the follower. turn it back and forth so it releases one pin at a time. Assemble the lock in the same fashion, load one, turn, load second, turn, load third and push the follower to the next set of three and repeat.

good luck assembling this lock again

Great job on this complex lock... I think they are one of the most innovative out there. One important feature that you may not have noticed was the active snap protection... the cam mechanism seizes up (it locks to the inner cylinder) if you manage to snap the cylinder behind the cut. I showed it on my video featuring this lock: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zq5rGjt-9rQ.html Also, that complex cam requires you to push a little button at the back of the keyway at the exact right moment during picking -- otherwise, you will not turn the cam even if you pick the lock. The cam mechanism is really quite good! .I'm still confused how this lock opened without actuating the magnetic pin... it looked like the magnetic pin was operating correctly, and it is not gravity dependent. As for the slugs on the bottom, I'm at a loss also. I can't figure out what they are for. Pure speculation: maybe they are to attract magnets inserted in the keyway to keep them away from the magnetic pin. Finally, if you want me to put the lock back together, send it my way. I've done it a few times, and once you have a system, it's not too bad.

Holy crap! a 26 minute video. I already know that it's going to be a good lock!

5:26 'This is my Philips screwdriver' *holds up a flat blade screwdriver*

Hey Bill, already been mentioned in the comments but since you didn't mention it, the logo on the front you can read the BSI, it's known as the Kitemark. It means the product has passed the BSI tests, which are often used on mains plugs, crash helmets etc as an independent (and expensive) certification process to assure a quality product. It's not a legal requirement to have BSI certification but having that mark usually is the sign of a quality product.

After watching your videos and becoming quite competent at lock picking I replaced all of my locks with these ABS Avocet cylinders. Living in the UK it was quite reassuring to see that that they are not the easiest of locks to pick, especially when they are the right way up.

After watching this video and LPL's pick of the same lock I quickly bought the ABS lock for my own front door. So i think Avocet the manufacturers owe you guys a drink.

"You guys know I'm never putting this back together" ... A second before I was thinking how the hell is he putting it back together. Amazing channel. Love it.

That's the kind of lock I'd like to have on my front door , amazing design , and well picked Bill you're a patient man !

Damn, I'd love to see someone pick this in-situation. Not upside down and not being able to see the trap pins. Gooood luck.

I really enjoy being able to see you working the first pin. I know that videoing that type of view would be very hard but it really helps new people to the sport like me. Thanks

Hi Bill. Great video as always. I've worked as a Locksmith in the U.K. for over 20 years now and your picking method is some of the best I've seen. The 3 big pins at the bottom of the Avocet ABS cylinder are hardened and there to stop you trying to drill it as well as all the others. Keep up the great videos. Dan

One tough ass lock, Hey Master Lock,🔒 bet you don't know anything about this kind of security. Nice job Mr.Bill 🔓

Oh nice a BSI kitemark cool to see a British lock on here especially as it looks pretty good 😂😂

Now that is an interesting piece of work; both the lock and the fact that you retained your sanity while gutting it!

I remember seeing it in one of LPL's videos: I'm pretty sure that those three larger holes in the bottom of the core are for more drill protection plugs.

Note that one important feature of the lock wasn't defeated. Although Bill managed a complete turn of the barrel, the lock actuator didn't move. Door would have been still locked after all that work.

They key logo on the pocket knife is the logo of a former Swiss bank called "Schweizerischer Bankverein". It was one of the two predecessor banks that formed current UBS. The card shows the Rhine river cargo port of Birsfelden/Basel, Switzerland and Basel itself in the background.

this is definitely one of those locks that someone would certainly have to be sure there's something worthy of spending this kind of time on to get into, with this being the only viable point of entry

5:29 "this is my Phillips screwdriver" holds up a flathead. Lmao love you Bill

The phrase that comes to mind with this lock is "no user-serviceable parts inside". Kudos for seeing that gutting through. No way would I have that much patience or clarity of eyesight.

I've got "some" memory issues, I'm 63 so not to bad but you are really something. I wouldn't even try to understand that lock. you've got incredible skill, and some darn good videos. I'll be passin through from time to time, locks were always an interest to me. thanks.

im a diesel mechanic, ive never tinkered with locks before but ive been watching a few of your videos and I definitely have some motivation to give it a go, after all its just mechanical manipulation. will definitely keep watching and ive subscribed. btw awesome job on that crazy lock!

Brother I have watched quite a few of your videos. You have a great educators temperament a natural talent not found in the general public. You have motivated me to take on lock picking as a hobby. I just ordered my first pick set based on your reviews and can't wait to get started. Thank you.

Fascinating and epic video Bill, I take my hat off to you for the gutting alone!

The real challenge would be to pick it as it would have been set in a door ;) Good work as always Billy.

The core is just like my stocking at Christmas. More and more things just keep coming out.

I grew up fishing, I have nothing but patience here ;) love the videos, very relaxing to watch.

keep knocking with a screwdriver until the homeowner opened the door. no need to pick the lock

That was amazing! What a great use of technology, loved the magnetic pin.

Make a video of its reassembly. I watched 28min of you taking it apart...i'll watch twice that to see it go back together!

Nice Picking Bill. I have Picked this Lock 🔐 in the U.K. And it's not that bad and it was in the correct way up too as if it was in a door you just need a very small Neodymium Magnet on the end of your Pick or what ever you can get it to the Pin and after that you are set. Keep up the great work. Nick.

As you start to reassemble, Use a wider piece of shim material (cover the lower third to half of the body) to cover all the pins while using the follower to replace them. As you push the plug back, let the shim material cover the snap ring groove (ride over) which will allow easier insertion.

That was awesome. An action movie for locksmiths!

That is crazy and super right!! Great job dude! Ignore the clock!

Wow buddy you have to be one of the best locksmiths in the world... great job and a wonderful challenge lock. if you manage too get that crazy thing back together I would really like to see you try to pick it the way it would be installed in a door properly. thanks a bunch In advance.👍

On locks like that with multiple rows of pins, you can use the slot in the end of the brass rod to "select" which one you release by rotating it to line up.

Such a complicated lock but you picked it much faster than previous locks.

Would be much more safe, if the brand was not on the lock, so that it's harder to guess which lock it is, so that it's harder to guess the correct technique.

Wow, that is an amazingly intricate mechanism!

brill vid made me feel real safe as I fitted same locks front and rear ( same key for both ) of my house three weeks ago ;-)

"You will never pick" Bill, that's the type of short list we need to have!

That's an amazingly bad-ass lock, Bill...! Couldn't have come cheap...

Very, very nicely done, if you noticed the kite mark was a "British Standard" one at the bottom, that funny B on its side with the large S in the V, just loved how you analysed this lock after your disassembly, hopefully we can get back to these standards once we leave the EU and give you more challenges . "this was built on a different planet" No it was a UK design ;-)

Super challenging pick and a way above average lock quality made for an enjoyable watch, not too long at all when the product is this good, thanks.

Just picked my first lock! Very satisfying.

A most excellent lock for the home.

Quite a lock for being so small. At least the trap pins were visible so it wasn't a big problem to get around them.

Gads, I LOVE these weird-ass locks. Keep em coming

I don't know if anyone pointed it out yet: the logo on the Swiss army knife belongs to the UBS bank. Very nice video. Greetings from Bosnia!

Now that's a lock that I would trust to secure my house. I'm fairly sure that most houses in the US just use some form of Schlage lock and deadbolt set or Kwikset and those locks, as you've proven time and time again, will take a skilled lockpicker mere minutes to break into

23:48 Hahaha, I was wondering if you were going to attempt reassembly. great videos, your passion shows in your skills. keep up the good work and don't worry about the video lengths.

One of the most interesting locks so far

Good luck putting that back together

UK locksmith must play he'll with these locks.

I waited an episode like this for a while. Thanks Bill, keep it up ! French fan.

Great job on taking that monster apart! wow!

You have the patience of Job himself! That is clearly the lock from hell!!!

Not sure if this was already noticed or mentioned in the comments, but that magnetic pin was "picked/bumped" by the rapping with the screwdriver handle. Since chamber 5 does have a top spring to keep the magnetic pin from falling too far, I wonder if it could actually work to get lucky "bumping" that pin past the shear line with the lock inverted? Either way, glad I don't have to face those on a lockout service call. Great videos

All the way down to it's serrated spool trap pins, I love this evil little lock!

back of the core is designed to pin it - notice the cutouts for the little sidepins, you put the main pin first, slide the core to lock it in, then insert the minipins could have used it to take it apart, too - let the sidepins fall through a hollow follower after they fall in through the cutouts in the back of the core

Wow...that's a serious lock. More like a puzzle.

I enjoy the intracacys of machining. Thank you.

That is an awesome cylinder. Great job on picking that thing.

Oh that's a smart move the magnetic ball bearing!

it was a great adventure to be with ya on this one trip

Bill, I believe that the lock was construction keyed. Once the new owner used thier key to open the lock those three pins you found on the bottom of the cylinder became trapped rendering the construction key useless.

Bill you could rotate your plug follower clockwise or counterclockwise to the cutout opening to take out 1 pin or repin the lock 1 pin at a time.

That makes a sparrows 6 pin revolver a cake walk

That was an fiendish lock. Very impressive skills.

holy patience , you are truly a mad genius.

Those titanium tensioners sure come in handy 😉

Great great great video. Thank you very much, excellent picking and lock also !!!!

And you had the advantage of both visibility AND gravity doing the work on that magnetic pin.

Maybe next time, you pick one of these, you should turn the follower gap at the end to each pin to gut it not only SPP but also SPG (single pin gutting) ;) - One hell of a complex lock. Nice video!!

Getting something like this for my front door, looks like a right PITA

Ahh, you know you're in for something special when you see the BSI kitemark (which is what that squiggly thing on the front is called).

Wow. That was a beautifully made device

Hey bill, you could have rotated the follower so the notch release one pin at a time, same for assembly. Also, the longer than usual video is still nice! And there is always the option to skip forward if someone find it a bit too long.

Great pick and gut! I would love to see a video of you reassemble that lock.

Other Pickers steal items, this guys steals my time, cause i cant stop watching this stuff

Holy sheet. THAT's a secure lock!

I picked one of these myself, they are a bit of a nightmare! I never gutted one though, you would have to be mad like that! LPL gutted one of these on camera. I managed to deal with the magnetic with a magnet from an old key.

Wow, what a lock. Nice work picking it, love the videos

back in the days of film, I disassembled a Nikon camera I had dropped. I eventually re-assembled it , and it performed fine. Good luck with the re-assembly... I know you can do it. R

On the ABS lock, if you try and snap it, there is a mechanism that makes the lock unable to open from the outside, that is if you put it in the right way around. On the magnet, it is not necessarily on a specific pin so if you try and pick it the right way up and stick in a tiny neodymium magnet to circumnavigate the magnetic pin you need to know which pin it's on before hand. I have this lock on both front and back door, good luck getting passed them. It's not even a particularly expensive lock in the UK about £35 if you don't want a special .

Hands down this is the most interesting lock that I have seen you pick. You are a skilled technician sir. +bosnianbill

seems like a pretty legit lock... after learning a little about how common locks work, basically the really common ones in the usa are stupid easy to pick or bypass. Like I know very little about picking but have successfully picked masterlocks and kwikset stuff without knowing anything. In fact I had a small black masterlock that I was able to unlock by sticking a small paper clip (unbent, just the way they are made normally) and twisted it, bam it unlocked lol

new to your channel watching some of the older videos now. what a fun lock!!! I really enjoyed it.

You're a better man than I am. A lock like that would probably have every child in the neighborhood asking "Mama, what does THAT word mean?" And the friends that, despite the fact that I ask them not to hover over me when I'm picking a lock, guessing at which language I was swearing in. I'm fluent in profanity.

The solid pins on the bottom (top if rotated correctly) are more anti-drill pins.

I recon that if that lock was installed in a door, with out knowing what you where up against, I do think that lock would be almost impossible to pick. Great lock!

Después de 5 años Lo veo hipnotizado Muy entretenido Gracias

"im just gonna skip this part it gets kinda boring" skips ahead. Bill is viciously beating the lock with a screwdriver lol

What an impressive design!
