Japanese Miwa DS Lock Picked 

Can we all pretend that this is the U9 😅🔐

Miwa is seriously underrated. Great video!

Lovely pick. I'll probably never see this lock IRL but it was wonderful to see it picked and hear about its complexity.

Excellent picking as always! That's a cool little lock, thanks for sharing it with everyone.

Very interesting, thank you. Have you tried any double sided wafer picks/rakes on these types of locks? Perhaps the ones designed for automotive locks?

Reminds me of the old Schlage wafer locks used in the 60s. I think the keyway might even fit the sc6 key blank.

Thanks for sharing 🤘🙂🤘 lots of these cool Japanese locks hitting eBay lately!

Great job Ash my friend well done👍😊😎🇬🇧👊

Cool pick. Well done.

Neat, I'd like to see more Japanese locks, no one seems to cover them.

Bloody brilliant. You da man.

Miwa DS is such a fun lock. Funny you had serrated wafers, mine had spooled ones iirc

cool lock... love your video keep them comming... lol

Have you tried removing the snap ring on similar models? That ring appears to be dog-eared precisely where the casing notches are pressed which would mean the lock can be gutted. It appears they extend from the snap ring at 90 and 270 degrees if the pinch gap on the snapring were aligned at 0 or 180, right along with the casing impressions. the dog ears on the ring extending into the cassette and on further into the casing itself effectively locking Casette to casing much like a deadbolt engaged thru door and jamb plates, in this case a dead bolt engaged at opposite ends (90 and 270) or 3 and 9 o'clock. Unless you've seen documentation stating otherwise I believe popping that snap ring out would allow the cassette to rotate within the case to allow it to slide in or out through channels cut along the length of the core if not just allow the core to slide right out immediately. Of course I could be hallucinating the dogears on the snap ring. If you were to use the pliers just to pinch the ring to reveal metal tabs on either side then perhaps I'm correct.. you could do at least that without risking displacing the ring so much that you accidently the whole entire thing;p

Nicely picked my friend

Thanks Ash also have a great one my friend.

A "Sushi" noob?
