I love all the different simple ways a key lock is bypassed. We hold so much of value behind this basic mechanism and yet with a little patience and some understanding its worthless.
I am a semi-retired locksmith and I still do some locksmithing for family and friends and for some of my old customers . And this really looks like a great little tool to have . I think I will make one for myself . Thanks for the idea . I think that it will help me a lot .

Semi penis or semi circles which they have split one on the tank as a chicken drumstick guise and the other on a woody wood peckers to cover the incoming traffic which made me mad 😂
Peanut, just wanted to pass along that this setup works amazingly well with a double ball pick for popping wafer locks, I have been a busy beaver with this since I saw the video. Wafer locks often frustrate me because its fairly easy to jam the wafers. But this device negates that entirely. I wish my camera worked so I could post a video about it :\
Good to know, i have popped a couple of more secure wafer locks with elec picks although i normally just use a city rake or even just a bobby pin works very well although the double & single ball pick is designed with the wafer lock in mind so yeah it should work great..I used the half ball in my last video not elec just hand picking raking i found it works great for fast opening on budget end 5 pin deadbolts ...
Its really awesome that the locksport and locksmithing communities are able to have this means of comparing ideas and sharing experience. On an international level too. I truly believe this will be a driving force for innovations, and we are already seeing that with designs like the Bowley even though it took less than six months for someone to solve it. Smiths have a weird habit of being very clique-ish, and that's where the locksport folks come in. I get just as much from the locksporters as from professionals, and its fantastic.
I agree.... I know lock manufacturers watch these videos too so i hope they at least start using more security pins in the budget end of locks especially door locks it will cost manufacturers almost nothing to do this when you think that around 85 percent of the homes in the USA have a Kwickset 660 in their front door and 35 percent of home burglaries the entry is through the front door... The locksport community are for sure helping to make locks more secure by showing the lock manufacturers the floors in their design and also showing innovative improvements...The Bowley padlock is a step in the right direction an awesome lock although the shackle is its week point in my opinion it needs a heavier shackle just increasing the thickness by a couple of mm will make it more bolt cropper proof like the Abus 37rk80 which i believe is one of the best padlocks out there..
You need to have a very light gentle touch with your tention wrench . The more force you have on it the more of a bind you put the tumblers in , tumblers in a bind can't fall into place easily . Jsn . Great video , thanks for posting
Your right. Tension is the key, once in a while i forget & have to remind myself . I am impressed that you can see it in my video. Thanks Your Tip is spot on.
I had a battery operated brush like this. Stopped using it because I thought it was going to vibrate all of my fricken fillings out of my teeth. So I figured I would try this. I used it on an old lock on a gate on the one side of my home that has been there for twenty years plus. Never used that side of the yard entrance. I sprayed PB Blaster in the lock, let it sit overnight and next morning tried this method using it with a strip of metal to open and it worked !!!!! I ended up putting the old lock back on knowing there is no key so no one can open it. But this method worked. I now have a new toy and going to try to open as many locks as I can. Going to try to break into my neighbor's home next time thery're on vacation. HAH !!
It's much faster than this the way he did it was so bad keep it level bring it up slow to pins one touch and its open I've used these there fantastic light touch not like this renching it up down lol made me laugh not level at all.
Have you tested if using this similar to zipping would work even better? It appears that the vibration is pretty fast and if it could vibrate a couple of times per pin while you zip, it should be nearly perfect for that.
Thanks for shearing. I am a locksmith from Norway, and most of our lock cylinders are 6 or 7 pins, with variable spring preassure for better safety. I was wondering if this would open those. Tried to copy youre picker, but couldnt get them open, Tried with a 5 pin old and worn Ruko lock and it worked fine.
now that's a slick trick, and a bargain to boot. i spent more on my set of picks, than an electric toothbrush and a bobbypin costs. cheap and effective, that's my kind of tool! thanx!
What a fun video to watch....Now I'm going to have to carry one for the lockouts I have to respond to sometimes....Just amazing what tinkerers come up with....My thanks to the gent that made this.
This is a great idea, I will be adding one of these to my entry kit. Inexpensive and easy to make. I can't believe I hadn't considered this, so many thanks
The Dino pro electric pick gun is probably more useful to you if your in the trade, there small powerful variable pick travel cordless a good little pick gun, i have a video on repairing and testing one...
That's interesting you mention the dino pro, its one of the better electric picks IMO. Totally not opposed to using one. I have a bit of a fetish for devices I can make myself, this is especially true of my manual picks. Most are picks I've made from various bits of quality spring steel that come my way. I have found that blades for coping saws make fantastic picks with some modification. My next project will be a set of interchangeable picks for this toothbrush pick, I think this design has tremendous merit.
The Master lock...? You could’ve left the toothbrush head intact and just brushed your teeth with it while holding the lock in the other hand and it would’ve popped open.
I've been doing this professionally for twenty years, Master was a better brand back then. They still make a few decent models of lock, but an overwhelming majority of the locks they make now are garbage and are basically a flashing neon sign for thieves capable of picking
This is great, but even better was looking at what he did with the tension bar. As a lefty, tensioning is always a bit more of a challenge, now I need to make my own. Any other lefty tricks out there???
Very cool, I will try this out! However, I think you (and I) will probably get better results by using a lighter tension than it appears you were using in the video. I'll be curious to see how it handles security pins and the like. I doubt it will pop a Medeco, but for quickies, it might be a bit of fun.
I told everyone that in this game no one can win everyone dies They thought I was joking 😂 we still have time if we change as a world if not I don't really care and were running out of time before the game spills over into our reality Really enjoying the game guys many thanks 👽👁️🙏

I watched this video just out of curiosity 2 days ago, that and a feeling it would be useful to know how to pick a lock one day; I was particularly interested in how the lock actually works. So early this morning I went to the beach and got there just as the staff were trying to open up the surf club changing rooms, but they had lost their padlock keys and had sent someone off to get an angle grinder. I didn’t have an electric toothbrush with me 😋 but I did have my Victorinox pen knife, and so with nothing to loose, I decided to use the reamer blade in the high security 3 directional 7 pin lock. I vibrated it against the pins in the slot, as you did with the toothbrush, and after 2 mins there was a click and it opened 😳😂 They then asked me to do the same on the other changing room’s lock and it too opened in a couple of minutes! Thank you for the very useful video, my street cred now knows no bounds! 🥷🪥🔓 😄
Interesting device. I'm actually going to make one this weekend and see if it is worth anything. Not to disparage any lockpickers who make video's but you have to keep in mind that the lock type isn't really as important as it's biting. It's like when I see LPL or BB pick something- like rake a Medeco?- it doesn't matter if it's a Medeco/ it matters if the biting is hard or easy. You could have a crummy Master that's hard to pick because of the biting and a Best SFIC that you can open by breathing on it. My point is, the biting on the lock you're using isn't a hard biting and would lend it's self to this type of attack. Still gonna try it on some random stuff though, thanks.
I guess my wife has seen this video, cuz in the bathroom right now she has a couple of those "electric lockpicks" and a bunch of batteries... she spends some time in there using the bathroom and picking locks to pass the time, it must work real well because she always comes out of the bathroom with a satisfied look on her face.
Where do you get that tension tool you use in the padlock? I'm left handed and it always feels awkward with standard tension tools when picking padlocks. If it's custom made can you tell me how you made it? I assume with wiper blade inserts
Such a awsome Video.I was really thinking bout to Buy a Elektro pick but now i really use this Method.Pretty cheap and just coool to avoid Buying big Player stuff
Buddy had me hold his masterlock( on his tool box) upside down so he could hit it from opposite sides at same time with two hammers....I laughed .....till he opened it.....jeez....learned a lesson on pin mechanisms.....
What are the odds, I’m intrigued by the lock picking art, and just happen to have a worn out Oral B brush. The exact model shown in fact. What a nice surprise...
Simple yes but quiet? Wife to husband at 02:00 in the morning "Oi wots that noise?". "O just someone brushin their teeth". "At our bleedin' front door?".
@@valmontezo578 Bonjour, I believe from other viewers that the model on link may have changed. My advice is buy a couple of different ones and just experiment with them, that is all i did, there are many ways of making a tool like this using electric razors etc...You may end up making something better than this one. Good Luck..
LOL! I was going to comment on the ethical dilemma of effectively inspiring house burglars, both old and new but your comment was just the right amount of good-natured tongue in cheek humour. It must the obvious to the guy that this info could be used in some really nasty ways, but I think there's a chance he really just likes experimenting with this stuff. I'm new to this type of video so if the above is naive, its probably because it is, lol
Can you demonstrate it on a clear see through lock? Also, can you give a close up and description of which sides you ground down in relation to the toothbrush's orientation and in relation to the direction the toothbrush pick moves?
I just subscribed to your channel! This is very cool! In the morning I'm getting me on and trying it out. If it works for me I'll do a video of it! Thank you so much for sharing!!
And now it's high time to make a micro drill out of electric toothbrush to drill through the most complicated locks that don't give up to your vibration satisfier! )) +1
Use a Colgate brand toothbrush that takes two aaa batteries. Swap those two 1.2v for two 3.7v 10440 Lithium cells. It won't break the motor but damn does it ever brush your teeth!

How thin should I make it? Just enough so it comfotably fits or the thinner, the better?? Currently mine is still slightly too thick to insert into lock but it'll get there soon enough. Oh, also wanted to ask you about tension tools such as what can be used as a makeshift tension tool found around the house or purchased inexpensively? Also considering placing an order for a spring loaded circular tension tool. It's about $30 USD although sure to be worth not having to concentrate on two things at once, hence in theory users focus on keyway alignment & hitting pins correct should drastically improve. Wishful thinking or wonderful idea? Guess we'll have to try it and see. Great content by the way! Keep on doing what you're doing friend; more watchable and likeable than others of this genre (Please just do not tell the Bosnian I said this).
