M&C Condor 3* SKG Euro Pick and Gut 

OK, I’ll admit that I thought that this was a Matrix, but now I think it’s the Condor 😅. Either way, it’s a fun dimple lock with a pin and slider combination 😃👍🔐

Very interesting lock mate , & as always great work getting it picked open. Have a great week. 😎👍

I'm fairly new to locksport, got my first pick set (Southord C1510) in September last year as something to do during lockdown (I was on the shielding list due to a lung disease). I picked a few locks then stopped for a while... Helping a neighbour gain entry to their property, non-destructively, and getting a bottle of gin for my efforts got me back into the hobby. I've only just started on the dimple locks, so far I've managed to open a Yale superior 9 pin and a Yale platinum 3 star 7 pin, both have sliders and sidebars (it took me a while but I got them open)...I've not gutted them yet. I do gut and even make keys for all the standard euro profiles I get.. but the thought of a gutting disaster with a high security dimple gives me the fear lol. Anyway, big thanks to you Lock Noob. Your channel and a few others have helped me immensely. Cheers.

Interesting design, fun pick. I can't wait to see you put it all back together on Side Noob. I've got the popcorn ready.

That is a very interesting and cool lock! Dimple locks are some of my favorite! Thank you for sharing and awesome picking skills. You articulate what you're doing through the process of picking very well which is super helpful to all of us thank you Lock Noob and take care 👍🏼🔐🔓

i love M&C locks and their deep deep "sliders are READY!" false set.. i have this lock in my vise at the moment, yet to be opened.. it's like you saw me struggling and thought let's help the poor guy out by showing how it's done ;)

What an interesting lock. It offers doo much promise as a very good high quality security lock but send to fall a little short. Nicely picked.

Hollow drivers is a space saving thing. The anti snap bar take up a big part of the space in the bible. So It allows for a long spring with many turns to compress more and give a soft key insert.

great job Ash mate well done👍😊😎🤟🇬🇧👊

Great effort, great lock, beautiful key, stay safe

Very impressive pick sir! But that's not a surprise for me, I've become accustomed to that on this channel 😊👍👍

That's a very fun lock! Nice pick! If you like this and as you have already picked the Yale Superior/Milencio Magnum you should try the DAF Kilit. Quite similar but slightly better tolerances. FAB Dynamic is also similar difficult even if the sliders work a bit different.

This SKG 3* lock is more like BSI 3* , tho , I think ratings are quite different. SKG's are more about physical security and resistance to violent attacks , so , this 3* rated lock should be able to withstand more than 5 minutes of drilling , trying to snap core , pull it out , etc , while BSI 3* adds to it antipicking features as well , but not sure which ones. As there are TS007:2012 and TS007:2014 + A1:2015. SKG in its leaflet associates their star rating with facade , which I guess are security handles , and they have also 2 and 3 stars facade elements , while in BSI , TS007 2* refers only security handles and escutsheons (hope I wrote it correctly) and not sure about revisions. Also , SKG for their ratings use toolsets labeled A , B and C , but leaflet doesn't says which these toolsets are. Some hardware (excluding cylinders) may not have 1* rating after 2009/2010. Currently , I'm in search for other rating institutions besides BSI in UK and SKG in Netherlands and want to compile document(s) on how do they compare and which are differences between them.

Another good vid my friend keep it up always been the best cylinder lock picker, in my opinion.

Nice one Ash 😎

Hi 👋 Good pick ! Like always 🙂

Which ever model it is, it's still a cool lock. Fantastic picking Ash and thanks for sharing mate.

Nor desperately hard for some=== don't think I would even dare attempt one=== nice one fella!!

Noice !!! ❤️ I wanted to buy that cylinder for myself some months ago.. I am so curious

What a coincidence I was just looking at getting one of these last week

yay nice

Beautiful lock and pick! Hollow drivers allow for longer springs, like yours, though it seems like there's enough room already. Wouldn't an undercut be in the core, not the bible? You want the drivers to catch on the core...

Wow, that is a busy lock inside. Great job getting it open and apart. Will this be a side noob experience getting it back together? Hope so. Cheers!

Hi there! I am completely new to the lockpicking community and looking for a good beginner lockpicking set to start with. I saw your video from a year ago but some of those links no longer work or their makers have had to stop production. Do you have an off-the-cuff suggestion for what I might want to buy? I’ve looked on Amazon but those vendors have no reviews and I am a bit suspicious about their lack of name recognition, and don’t want to get deterred by buying a crappy set of picks to start off with. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Crazy looking keyway and I love that key! Is there any reason for it other than looking like a really good lock key?

So , for example , GreenteQ cylinder that you have featured recently on channel isn't the same as the same model that has been sold in my country. I mean , there was less parts/features in the one that is sold here and the one you picked and gutted. :)

you can push out the pin

Hmmm yes ,i was thinking its to help find in the dark . KeyBling

Would've thought that they wouldn't have made the anti-drill pin hollow like the rest of the pins. That's the first time I've seen hollow key pins, no doubt makes it much easier to over-set the pins. Were those driver pins bevelled at the bottom?

Hey LockNoob! I have a problem. I just bought a couple of locks, and Ive been trying to pick them. I used every tool, and all of them were used correctly. I am new to picking, so don't expect a lot from my skillset. If I put a tension wrench in the lock, and I put the pick in too, the pick will get stuck, and I won't be able to move it back, forth or up&down. It just gets stuck, and I can't do anything (I have lubricated it, and it's a new lock)

BTW M&C is Dutch, not German.
