Thanks! Been too long, couldn't tell you which one was more fun to pick, but the Cisa RS3 I picked here (rebranded Bricard Chifral S2) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gdVcbeaN6u8.html
Mottura makes very good cylinders like this c55 or the c28 that are mid-high range over 100 euros. And very difficult to pick. Unless you have a lot of time and are a great professional like you. Greetings from Spain.
That's fantastic picking in my eye's, an amazing lock defeated with a great explanation AS always. In my opinion you are up there with the very best,well done,billbo.
Definitely have to be careful gutting it, having the plug up on its end helps a lot as the only piece that should fly out is the sidebar as it has springs.
That is one crazy complicated lock🤯 brilliant picking mate. I think this is the first lock I have seen those rotars in, they act sort of like medico pin? Also what are the purpose of the passive pins?they seem not to do much. Great video mate 👍🇦🇺😊
Yeah, way too many pieces. I've picked one with rotors on my channel before if you look for the Mottura Champions C43 Plus, they do act like Medeco pin in the way they interact with the sidebar, but don't have to be lifted. The passive pins (like in all locks) are there for key control...if you put a key in without the right cuts, the lock won't turn, but they don't have to be lifted at all, there just has to be space in the key for them to drop down into, so from a picking perspective since there is no key there, there's nothing to stop them from dropping like they need to.
What is this opinion about this Mottura with large slots, compared with narrower and very angled ones? Do you think, security wise it's an even trade, or they are making the task easier for lock picking?
For dimple locks like this, I don't feel that warding makes a large difference in how pickable it is with flags. The warding seems more effective against hooks being used in traditional pin tumbler locks.
Well picked and explained Michael. Fun to see how the rotors work, similar to rotating pins (but staying at the same height of course). Thanks for sharing 👍
The true gates have to face the sidebar. As for the nubs, the short skinny one has to be closer to the front of the lock while the long fat one is closer to the rear.
Other than a hobbyist ... you are a phenomenon! I have a question: it true that the presence of a good mechanical defender (therefore not magnetic) prevents or in any case makes it difficult to tension the cylinder and therefore the picking operation?
Thank you. I'm not sure I understand your question as I don't know what you're referring to when you say "mechanical defender". If a cylinder is difficult to tension, that can make it very hard to pick (examples would include the Vanlock, Superbright SB lock, Australian hotdog lock, even the Gerda Tytan ZX).
@@norlin76 By “mechanical defender” I mean models such as Mottura Df 05 - Df 07 - Df 09 or Disec Kripton or Diamond. In some articles I happened to read statements like this: "Another fundamental role of the deep rotor in the manipulative technique is to disable the rotation tensor when key bumping and picking techniques are applied with the electric pick." The idea I got is that the presence of the rotor in the defender prevents or makes picking difficult. In the picking videos, among other things, cylinders without defender are always handled. Can you confirm that manipulating a cylinder on which there is a good "mechanical defender" is more complex due to the difficulty of tensioning the cylinder? Thanks for your attention!
@@StefanoMasi80 I haven't personally had one of these Defender units, but looking at a catalog on them, it seems that its primary goal is to protect against destructive attacks (eg. drills, disk grinders, pliers, etc). That's why it has all kinds of ball bearings and metal rods, manganese plates, etc. As far as protection against picking, it seems that it's supposed to dull bump picking and electronic picks somehow, not sure why though. For traditional lock picking, it doesn't seem to have anything specific defending against it, but always if you extend the distance to the keyway, it makes things a little more difficult to pick (like my Mul-T-Lock Omega pick, if the lock is deep in the door, that would be quite difficult). Other than that, it doesn't seem to add anything for traditional picking resistance. www.mottura.it/download/data_sheet/P190543ENG%20a_021492%20DEFENDER%20LOW.pdf
@@mariadange06 if someone else is willing to spend years to get to the level of practice I have, they're probably not looking to break in. I'd say a good 99% of people who pick locks do it for their job or hobby, those are my audience.
