Pick and Gut video of a U-Change mortise cylinder. The U-Change is a system that is functionally similar to but mechanically different from the Kwikset SmartKey system.
the banham 2002 is a high security, key restricted, hooked bolt locking system with reinforced strike plates and hardened steel locking bolt. great video, I have seen some other breakdown vids on thus lock but none gave the extreme close up to see what the pins actually look like. really great! Thanks
My gosh, I just visited your channel and listened to your story. So glad you made it through such a terrible ordeal. You're obviously an incredibly resilient person and you will certainly emerge stronger. So glad you are part of this incredible community :) Keep picking and having fun :) Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you along the way.
I've had one of these for a few months. I picked it and never thought twice about it. turns out its a pretty cool lock. lol. Awesome video and picking buddy.
Very cool! I got to learn something new again. :D Scared me a little when parts began to tumble out of the lock. :0 Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
tumbl3r sure. Like to try every lock once. Would like to gut it and check it all out first hand. gonna be sending you some stuff shortly just got a,lot of stuff going on lately. Two graduates, little bit under the weather, three-year-old I'm always taking care of the usual family stuff. Haven't held a pick in days. Really need to find a locksmith in my area. I need some weird springs.
I really love your videos because Im constantly learning something, and the locks you feature are absolutely awesome! I really look forword to your new videos and find myself checking quite often :P This looks like a pretty smart mechanism. I dont think you could torque that open like the old smartkeys.
Thanks so much for the kind words. You have no idea how much that means to me. I know I'm not a high-volume channel, but I try to publish videos only on locks that I find interesting in one way or another. I figure if I find them interesting, others will too :)
all your high security picks are truly amazing. So looking forward to your Ingersoll pick. some say they almost impossible although i said that about the bilock too.
Thanks :) It occurred to me halfway into gutting it that i should have done a search for pics on how they work, but hey... it was fun to experience the drama live and on cam :) Also, thanks for entering the drawing. JP ended up winning.
Great looking lock and very nicely picked. I have a question though....🤓🤓 If you could replicate the change key then what would stop you inserting a "blank" and zero bitting the lock???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Excuse me if it seems a dumb question but I don't see this type of lock on this side of the pond and am trying to get to know them(as I am with most locks)😮🤓🤓😞☺️
Thanks for watching. What you described is essentially the known bypass for these locks. All you have to do is create a change key. Certainly a design issue, but the lock is otherwise clever and extremely well made.
Thanks Lost! Yeah, it seems anything that would pull that peg out a little would really work for a change key. Glad you enjoy the videos. That means a lot man :)
