A few interesting counter-points to this attack: 1) It only works on locks mounted the 'correct' way up; so no Euro cylinders or padlocks that are being held with the pin stack facing downwards, because gravity will cause the outer key pins to drop with the outer drivers, blocking the shear to both the outer and inner pin stacks. 2) Actually making a tool that resembles a 5-armed piece of wire , that will fit around the warding of a MTL and also have the ability to raise the inner pins this far is VERY difficult to make. It is not impossible I do not think...but very difficult. 3) While this attack has ostensibly been fixed in more recent MTL's, I have noticed that many KIK's actually have holes in the roof of the chamber caps. I do not know why they do this, and if there is even the tiniest of space (and there has to be approximately 1mm instantly available from the chamber cap thickness and the ridge above it that keeps it in place) then this attack could still be on the table for KIK's with chamber caps like this. Anybody know why KIK's chamber caps have these holes in them? Seems totally pointless and makes the fix for this attack potentially useless!
Very cool so see the history and enhancement of pins. Thanks for showing us this cool lock. Did I get this right. To exploit the flaw you must first use this overset tool and then you would pick the (5-pin) lock?
hi LPL, it looks like 6th inner and outer pins are of the same length, while looking on a key, is this not a compromise to security? does it make easier to pick, while you have inner and outer pins really close to each other in terms of their length, please? thanks
Very nice pick, and explanation. 1 question though... So the drivers that you see with the inner pin afixed to the outter pin are subseptable to the overset tactic??
VARY WELL EXPLAINED THANK YOU.Are you sure your not a surgeon lol Lock picking surgeon.you have some steady hands.nice multi lock how old did you say.THANKS again for sharing. 😎😎😎😎😎
Not at all. There are not many people around that can open MTL's that quickly, and I'd venture that someone with criminal intent would be exceedingly unlikely to invest the hundreds of hours required to get this proficient!
Hi, i have been trying to pick one of these multilock cilinder for a while , tried around 15 times , with no succes at all, can you give some advise on how to proceed for a successful picking? Thanks
