Very useful!! I used a nail to make the tension wrench, took a few minutes but it worked out pretty well. Finally could free my laptop from its cage, and saved myself from feeling stupid... Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
Nobody believes me, but one day my sister and I were working at a horse barn when I had finished my chores early. Out of pure boredom (and being alone), I tried picking a coke machine. I used a little tension and pushed each individual ball inside the keyhole using the end of a paperclip. Suddenly, the main latch popped out! I had genuinely picked a coke machine! Unfortunately, I was so excited and convinced that I was was a master locksmith that I shut the door to show my sister how I did it...and I couldn't get it open again. Perhaps it was a fluke or just pure luck. I looked like such an idiot though.
I figured out another way to do it without lock picks. I grabbed an old junk tape measure, and cut two small pieces off it. Using the edge I cut, I pushed 1 piece in on the bottom, then did the same for the top. The way I got it to work was by pinching the two pieces together which put pressure on the center circular piece, while at the same time pushing inwards which flexed it out so it pressed against the pins, and twisted. I was shocked myself that this worked when I figured it out, cause usually my ideas don't pan out, but it worked first try! However, the second one took like 7 tries, but it still seemed easier than the method in the video. This was done on an Ace II circular lock.
Bluraz can u explain that 1 more time how big were the 2 pieces of measuring tape and then what did you do? I'm trying to figure it out now Please let me know Thanks again I'm very interested in how you are saying you did it.
It’s true a thief can get into anything i had a lock box and someone got into it was just saving for emergency....hadn’t checked the box in over 2 months
Heh, is your channel still up? I am seeing this 9 Yeats later. I like your style, and u answer some obvious questions that other internet pickers don't. Ex. Like the turning tool slipping but don't reset.
Seeing how u said they are all easy to pick with the tool. Please brother, tell me which tubular impressioning tool will open my ace 2 7pin lock. And how much tension do I use on the turning tool. Give me something to compare to. Ex. Pressing elevator button
You are holding lock on your fingers, but if you have to open- operating while installed onto the door, the picking would not going easily for you to pick.
Did you know that if you pick it and move it just a little bit, not the full quarter turn,then roll up a somewhat study card and tape it up to the inside diameter of the lock itself. put the card in and make an impression from the study pins and you will have a key for the lock itself and be able turn it all the way open.
Thanks for the very clear instructions. My lock doesn't have that little groove in the core / center to stick anything into, so it's really hard to tension it. Any advice?
@@PickingandEntering I have no idea sadly, it's on an old electronic safe with dead batteries and the keys inside haha. There's no brand on it. I've found out that there's a tiny gap inside the ring that I need to put rotating tension into, with a little anchoring tool of some sorts. I got pretty far with some makeshift stuff just now, but lost my grip and it snapped back :') I have no experience with locks whatsoever but I think I'm getting somewhere.
@@PickingandEntering I gave up on picking it open haha, but I might still try another time because it got me real interested, what a puzzle. I finally managed to open it without destroying it by using a trick where you smash the safe real hard while wriggling the handle, to bounce the lock open internally. Yay! Later I found a manual, and it said to turn the key COUNTERCLOCKWISE.... _facepalm_ been picking clockwise... Is that common?
Toward the beginning When you say "add tension to the Allan key" do you mean press down into the lock constantly, press sideways (like turning the lock) or do both?
@@anotherOneMore7 Yes. You put it in place, then push it sideways to make the core move as if you were turning the key. Keep the pressure all the way while picking. When all the pins are set, the sideway pressure will turn the core automatically. You need to adjust the pressure tho. Too much and the pins won't move. Too little and they will reset.
Would it be possible to pick this lock once, prevent it from sliding into the next position, and stick a soft object into the lock to impression the pins?
I think that although this type of lock can be picked, the amount of people that know how to pick them is very small in comparison to standard pin in tumblr type locks. So assuming you purchase a quality tubular lock you will have increased security.
mine has interchangeable tips. you would have to pull the pick and tension wrench out before it lock back up again. I'm sure it would work... I'll probable try that this weekend.
