Thanks. Is the Disklock a kik? Are you picking it in a padlock? If I remember correctly I wasn't able to pick it in a padlock because it prevented me from fully tensioning the lock.

@@affinity3470 Yes, it is a kik cylinder inside a padlock. So you think that is my problem and why im not getting feedback? If so, i will remove the kik core and give it another try. Thanks for the tip. 👍

@@irishjerseyguy Padlocks can kill feedback in some kiks and euro profiles because they can limit the ability to fully tension a core. You should be getting atleast some feedback after you take it out. Although it's very minor which makes the Disklock a difficult lock to pick. You can message me on LPU discord as well. Good luck!

@@affinity3470 Thank you, i just ordered a Abloy padlock with a disklock keyway. Im not really into making videos, i just post my locksport moments on Instagram. So just posting a disklock kik cylinder picked open is kinda uneventful. Thanks again for all your help. 👍

@@affinity3470 If I've understood correctly, many people feel better feedback if they tension and pick in opposite directions. So if you tension clockwise, rotate all actual code disks fully to clockwise direction first, tension the lock and start to rotate binding disk counter-clockwise. Of course, you need a picking tip that can fully rotate the actual code disk to max cut position while keeping the tensioner in fully turned (zero cut) position. With Disklock is shouldn't be that hard but with Disklock Pro, the key guiderails get into the way big time.

Thank you! I can't believe how tough this lock was. My hat goes off to TrioVing. They made a fine lock. Thanks again for sending it to me! I hope you're doing well. 🔓🔑✌

Thanks buddy, this lock has been on my list for quite some time. What a battle it was! Cheers 🍻

Thanks! The 700 is a great lock. This red version is just what I needed to prepare for the beast with 4 trees you sent me, lol. I just got those Assa driver caps in and soon I'll be diving into the 700 universe again to battle the real Titan! Cheers 🍻

Thank you :) I started picking in December of 2020. It took about 4 months of practice on low security locks until I picked a purple belt lock. Progressive pinning has really helped me advance through locksport. I bought Honest Dong Shi picks because they were very affordable. Now that I have Multipicks I still prefer using Dong Shi because the handles are thicker and easier to rotate. I'm currently working on a Abus EC700. After that I have more to pick like the Evva Dual, Abloy Sentry/Exec, and Dom Diamant! Cheers 🔓

@@affinity3470 goodness! that's fantastic - cool how you can plan those next steps. and great to hear about the picks, too! at this level, seems like you're entering not only another realm of practice, but also of investment - those locks are not nothing! hope your second hand shopping flourishes - and again thank you for this great reference video.

Thanks! The 700 is a nightmare of a lock. I'm glad it's over, now I can rest in peace! Lol

Thanks Thumper! Hats off to Assa, the 700 is a beast!!

Thanks Retep. I was hesitant to try the Gen 2 because there weren't any videos until recently. What a great lock, I'm glad I have it a shot!

Thanks Tinman :) The Stealth Key is one of my grails and I'm thrilled to have got a chance to pick one!

Thanks MUR-LOCK. I saw that you added a 7 pin and picked yours. Well done! This is a great lock and really put a fight I wasn't expecting 😁

Thank you. This was a sweet victory. I'm very impressed with my first Scandinavian oval!

Thanks Thumper. This Trioving put up a fight!

@@affinity3470 it really did,I love the lock tho

Thanks Chris. These Scandinavian ovals are lovely. I'm so happy to finally get a hold of one!

Toldly agree with you Gabriel

Thank you for the kind words. I love these two tone Scandinavian ovals!

Thanks Joe. This lock really stumped me. After many hours I finally learned it's secrets! This TrioVing is a great example of how bitting and keyway alone can make a great lock.

Thanks man! This made me a huge fan of Bilock. I thought they were just pin tumblers with 2 rows before I got this, haha.

Thanks Froggy, this was a fun pick and a lock I've really been wanting to try!

Thank you, this was a fun lock to learn

Thanks buddy, It's been a fun ride! This Mottura C43 was my grail and I'm just thrilled for the opportunity!

Thanks! This was quite the challenge. It really make you appreciate your hands!

Thanks Chris, this was a fun challenge. The Smartkey is a tough pick for sure. Unfortunately it's easy to bypass with a screwdriver and pliers. Otherwise it would be a decent lock for a home.

@@affinity3470 still a great pick!! 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈🐾

You want the disc you're tensioning from to start in a true gate like a zero disc. If tensioning from the butterfly, it will over rotate and push the sidebar out of the true gate! Then you won't feel the other disc bind.

@@affinity3470 ok. Great information!!! I have a cutaway and I got it out and you can see that happening 😀 Thank you the cool info!!! 🐈‍⬛🐾🐈🐾👏👏👏

@@affinity3470 "If tensioning from the butterfly, it will over rotate and push the sidebar out of the true gate! Then you won't feel the other disc bind." so what do you do?? many (many) thanks

I wanted to do a card trick but I'm not that skilled! I'm glad I just had to pick a lock, handicapped 😁

Thanks! These smartkeys are great locks. I wouldn't want to pick one blind, lol. Luckily I had some practice 😆 🍄

This was a fun challenge. I had to get creative on holding the dice. You always make use work hard for our entrys, lol. Have a nice weekend 😎

@@affinity3470 it should be a real challenge ;) nice weekend buddy!

Thanks Jack, this is a tough lock. I tensioned clockwise and found I had to manually counter rotate to get the sliders out of false gate and immediately reapply tension to prevent other sliders from dropping. It helps to progressive pin these as well to learn the binding order. You can just leave the key pins in and remove the sliders as needed. It's also crucial to recognize when the sliders in the true gate. True gates will have a noticeable giggle to them.

Thank you. The rotors are evil. Very clever to put them under the key pins!

Thanks EAC! This was a fun pick.

Thanks, this lock has some amazing pin shapes. Dom did a great job making a unique design for the ix series.

@@affinity3470 yes sir they did

Thanks Froggy!

Thank you my friend. The Sk6 is a great lock and was a pleasure to learn! Have a good weekend. 🍻

Thanks buddy, I had a great time picking this lock. After this is an the WSW I only have great things to say about Zeiss Ikon. And I just found a ZI System M (MCS) so that should be here next week!

Thanks Chris, it was a pleasure learning this fine German lock. 🔓🔑

Thanks, I almost lost my mind trying to find the tiny spings that launched on 5 different occasions progressive pinning this thing!

@@affinity3470 Great job...try finding a .5mm ball bearing...twice...we did it. Lol

Thank you! I had a little trouble figuring out the binding order. I discovered that presetting the last pin first in the upper row helped, otherwise it was hard to set normally. These HPC locks can be a lot of fun if you find the ones that are easy to gut!

If Affinity had dumped I would have jotted him down for a 2022 Locky Award. 😉

@@affinity3470 I have been dreading gutting my V18 I got from Norlin. But they do look like a fun satisfying pick. My 1st and only HPC lock so for is west 916, the little bro of what you picked, still fun!

@@evilarchconservative2952 😆Cheers to that!

@@L0ckJocKey you must have one with the weird face plate. The 917 with having no overmilling in the top row was a little easier to pick for me I think.
