(1362) Challenge: Blocked Out! 

I can't believe you picked my lock so quickly. Great Job Bill, I concede! You're Too Good! Haha Great video as always! I'll just have to try harder next time.

What a fun lock. At first I thought, “ugh, it’s just going to be a strong-spring pick killer, “ but then I was impressed by his creativity and experimentation as well as your picking. I love weird out of the ordinary locks like this.

That's a fairly diabolical lock design. Congrats to Bryan!

Opened my first lock last night y'all :) saved my uncle's ammo box. He was gonna drill it but I raked that b right open. Hell yeah :) loving this already

What a way to cheat you out from picking off the bottom of the key way. That is genius 😁. Very nice lock. And as always no match for you sir. I would have been whipped by that smart trick of limited room. Awesome job my friend. Stay safe mate. 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🍻🍻

Not on topic for this video, but I just opened one of the most advanced locks I have in my collection. This is a first for me and it feels awesome! It was an American 5100 series and had 4 serrated drivers (positions 1, 2, 4, 5) and a serrated spool (position 3). There was an extra set of master wafers that I suspect are for a secondary key since there were no construction holes in the cylinder to trap a T-pin or something. It was the early 80s (late elementary school) when I started picking locks using the bent tines of a fork. In middle school I got my first real tools from an advert in the back of a martial arts magazine and started on padlocks, then just kinda dicked around with lockpicking after that as life started just being life, though I did mess around every so often. About 2 years ago, I was at work when someone locked their keys in their car (an early 2000s, maybe late 90s, Cadillac) and I usually carry my tools in my car, so I tried it and I just happened to get in using an old set of auto jigglers. First time I ever tried a car and I got in, in about 25-30 secs! I started pulling out my old locks that were boxed up and messed around again. I had also started watching these videos and LockPickingLawyer's to really start wrapping my head around what was going on. I think I'm really getting this now. So, thanks for the information, instruction, and entertainment. It's a nice little win in light of everything else.

Wow!!! I cannot believe you got that open!! Mr. Bill, you definitely got some skill and talent. Good job, good job.

Always impressed by the lock picking skills, but managing this one with that restricted opening and a camera in the way is über impressive. I stand in awe!

Just picked the Abus 55/50 I have been working on for the better part of 3 hours while watching this video, been picking for about 3-4 days all thanks to you Bill and LPL for showing me this awesome hobby!

Thanks Bill

Nice work Brian! Takes a lot of ingenuity to come up with unique obstacles like that, I see a paclock in your near future! As always Bill, excellent picking! You have inspired a lot of folks (me included) with your skill, passion for the sport, and common sense approach. You explain things very logically, and make it easy to catch on. Saved me lots of time at work, as ive I've been able to open doors for folks who have locked themselves out of offices, or warehousing, and just today was able to get a tow motor ignition switch picked and started for a group who misplaced a key. The legend of Bosnian Bill covers a lot of ground! :-)

Brian nicely done sir, but you went up to a Great lock picker. (Mr. Bill) I bet you were mad on the time it took Bill to pick it. After 40+hours in building it. Great job to both of you.

I knew you picked the lock by the title but I was still chanting lets go Bill, lets go, and then all of the sudden an open. It was fun pick to watch and I really think a great lock.

Great video. Its all about the challenge and creativeness.

Now that was a fantastic idea by Brian’s Locksport!!! I can’t believe Bill had enough room to get in there and pick the lock!! Great work to both of you!!

Very cool trick! I have trouble when I have room. Great job Bill, you make it look easy.

I like that pinning tray a lot nice

This lock is perfect choice 👌👌 to secure my socks 😍

Interesting lock, and good job working around that bottom block! And nice kitty shot at the end, there. Helps me out with the missus (she has three, so more lenient when there are cats in any video I watch.😉)

That was a really good try on the lock and a great video. good job Bill

Great video as always.

I just realized it seams as if bos and ave has the same type of cameras. They like to go out of their way to focus on what’s to the side lol

Well done. Brian did a darn good job with a five pin lock.

Thanks for making the lock so we can see the fulse set.

Interesting design. Great pickin' Bill

Great job

Great pick as always Bill

Use his blocking move as your tension wrench, and just as I type it of course you say it. Lmao well since I'm typing I'll take a second to thank you. My first set of picks should be here in the next few days from Mad Bob. I've done alot of self teaching on padlocks and car doors/ ignitions over the past 20-30 years all legally I swear. Always a wall locker that needed help, and car doors. Of late it's been very old keys that are all but flat.

I think this was a good build

This may be dumb, but why not just grab the key with pliers and tension it like that?

Great job!

Хорошая кошка -- помощница, nice kitty, asking for a support!

I know this is a necropost, but I've long wondered - the Rat Yoke - it's just a very, very pretty custom de Forest Diamond, right?

This is new, atleast I have not seen this design before. Clever but no Paclock. There's always next time.🍺😎

I love these videos.

INCREDIBLE 🤔

Rather than breaking it off from the back, couldn't you lift all the pins to the top and then slid that kill key out? Might even be able to use an upside-down extractor if the keyway allows it to lift up. Worst case, SPP each pin from back to front all the way to the top as you remove the kill key one pin at a time.

Great video

40 hours of picking attempts! WoW :)

Sick key! :)

The box is nice haha

Coming from the world of electronic security watching all these lockpicking videos makes me wonder why (or if) there are no mechanical locks that force the picker to choose all the positions before revealing any clue if right or wrong. Seems they are all vulnerable to picking one pin or disc or slider at a time, which is a huge no-no in electronic security. In electronic security, people habitually worry if different wrong keys respond even a nanosecond different timing even if there's no obvious use for picking that particular mechanism.

Cute trick on that one

I didn't see the two halves of the key together outside the lock, does the upper half marry up with the notch on the lower half, then allowing the key to be removed from the cylinder? I ask because it looked like every time you tried to pull the key parts out, the top piece would move first and I suppose trap the bottom half behind the last pin again.

Another great video, great troubleshooting and explanation as always. Did that brown handle come with that Rare Element pick you show @ 3:55?

Cool design ! Gives me some more ideas to design a lock that both Bill and LPL can’t open! LoL! My guess is you haven’t had any luck opening Sables lock 🧐😎. Nice job of getting around I. That tight space bill! I would have thought using top key tension would have restricted the ability to manipulate the pins much more! Woof on!

Is there anyway to look up the original key cut depths using a VIN? I have an old(2003) taurus. My key is still working in the ignition, and the chip still works with the pats system, but it takes using a little bump key move to unlock the doors. I'm hoping to put a new ignition tumbler in while repinning it to use the old key. Since I only have one key that's very old I can't have a copy made to fix the door issues because the bitting is almost gone.

A diamond pick works great for removing those lock kills, Thinking the Lock kill was made from a 6 Pin blank, then a 5 pin key for operation? Or did he file shoulder back on a 5 pin blank?

I’m donating them to the tape😂😂

Very neat lock!!! I just don't see how the bottom of the key was held in while using the key. Was there something else done to the key to keep it in place. Besides the standard cuts in a Hotel maid lockout key. But all in all a super fun lock!!!

Why use an additional tension wrench when there's already one built in at the bottom of the keyway?

Hey Bill, Love your vids. I just got a semi-cheap padlock for a gate on my farm. Do you have a (simple diy) generic tip for making any padlock more secure? Have a nice weekend!

Could you of held all the pins up to slide out the bottom piece?

Could that pin depression have been part of the mechanic that held the block key in position?

How do I send Bill some locks?

why can i see someone open a guard combination padlock

That's simply a block out key you put other half in and pull out only on bottom half

@Bosnianbill how do i know if i over set one pin? or over picked it?

Why don't you just use the key that's in there and some pliers to try and use that as tension?

So you pick your screwdrivers to avoid upsetting people, but you pick your lubricants to upset people? :)

Hey Bill, next time please use a small flat head screwdriver in a Philips head screw

Spring from a BIC lighter? Didn't you mean BIC pen?

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

We put these on peoples homes, who wre going on vacation, etc. They are easy to defeat, if you know what they are.

👍

13:17 you didn’t pick him to the correct level. You relocked the lock and used the key.

THE SPIRAL SNAIL DESIGN WILL PREVAIL...........STAY TUNED....

Probably a trap pin in the very back preventing you from pulling out the bottom part of the key.

A theory on why the Keypin of chamber 5 may have that cup: What if it's to deepen the false set and throw off feedback? Since you would know how two flat edges of a spool respond to attack, that cup might be enough to throw some people off.

That has to be a little demoralizing to spend time putting the lock together and then 40hrs picking to see it opened in like 10min.

I am not a lock picker but I can say Bill’s approach to removing the cut key from the lower CD was wrong. Sure it probably would not have made any difference anyway but the correct process would have been to push the top part of the key out with the cut-off bottom piece. Bill did not attempt that once on camera.

I bet it has become more difficult for you to pick a lock without a camera in the way lol

Great As Always Bill! Please see my first video thanks for the inspiration sir! please keep your laughter in check!!!

The ladies like it when you are "accommodating" with your length.

am I the only one who's seeing this in jump-cut-o-vision?

Great video
