Awesome pick Greg, congrats on your first black belt dimple lock! And great explanation how the lock works! This lock is going on my wishlist now. Thanks for sharing ❤
I'm an automotive locksmith and oddly enough I hate picking locks. lol I have a question about this lock. I understand how the sidebar works but I am not understanding how the sliders work or what they are for. They live on top of the springs? The only high security locks I played with are Medeco's and Primus if you even want to include Primus in that category. Automotive locksmithing is so far removed from this stuff but I find it very interesting. I was very good at impressioning locks. For cars picking was very rare so I never really practiced. If I needed to pick something I had a 5 minute rule. If it didn't pick in 5 minutes the rotary pick came out. :)
@scotts4125 when in doubt, drill it out 😅 I don't blame you for hating on picking after playing with locks all day lol so the sidebar itself is actually on the bottom at the 6 o'clock position. The sliders are unsprung and move right to left. A track on the key moves the sliders into position, and the nubs of the sliders are directly under the pin stacks. They have a bunch of false gates that look like serrations, that catch on the sidebar. They have 1 small true gate that when lined up depresses the "sidebar" which in this case is directly at the bottom of this lock. As far as I know there is 4 possible positions for the sliders and 5 sliders which makes for some good master keying possibities sinxe you could have multiple true gates. They're really just for an added layer of protection and also would help with master keying in very large systems. For example the victoria power industry uses these locks under the lockwood name in australia. Having both sliders and "pin in pin" stacks, it gives an incredible amount of master keying possibilities. I have yet to touch an automotive lock so they're alien to me 😅 thanks for watching Scott and I hope that answered your questions!
@@gchev4 Thank you and perfectly explained. I would say cars are actually easier to get into thanks to the newer tools but a lot harder to steal them. All the security is electronic now. Some we don't actually make keys for them we program electronic fobs. They have emergency keys for the drivers door but the really odd thing is on many cars the "emergency" key doesn't work if the car battery is dead. We run between 80 to 150 calls per week. Just lost keys and lockouts. The dumber they make these cars the more calls we seem to get so I'm not complaining. It also amazes me how people buy used cars and only get one key/fob and never get a duplicate made. They call us when all is lost. I'm not complaining. People who do things like this are my customers. :)
It's very interesting picking of Mt Это очень не стабильный замочек для пикиг. Очень вредный и кусачий. . Молодец Грег. Супер. И чётко и быстро . Респект 🎉
It definitely picked differently a few times. Sometimes I would get a turn on the core and then I would do the sliders and then get a big turn and only need the inners. I'm very happy with the quick open though😅 thank you very much tipa! 🎉😊
@@gchev4 Well done. MT can be very difficult to open. It happens quickly, but not always. You showed a good picking of the MT. Have a successful day today!)))
@gchev4 for sure, that's a cracker of a lock. No worries, it was a pleasure. Appreciate the offer but I've got one but time is the major Hurdle atm. I'll have to look at it this weekend I think for sure. Good shit again mate. Keep on pushing on those picks my man 💪
Greg! That was amazing! I cant imagine how difficult of a lock that is but you made it look easy! Very well done and great explanation as well! Nice pin show!
