HelpfulLockPicker Thanks for your video. Where did you buy this skeleton keys for varded lock. ??

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Søren I believe mine came from Sparrow lock picks but you can get them cheaply on banggood.com

[@The_Top_Striker]

Great video! The skeleton key you gave me is a great help

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Base Gaming how are you liking the stuff?

[@The_Top_Striker]

I love the stuff

[@marksuhre9494]

I have a warded lock that wouldn't open for anything on my warded pick set (approx. 10 warded picks). I applied consistent tension to the shackle and I was able to move it up one notch at a time until the shackle released completely. Awesome tip! Thank you.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Congrats on the success!

[@jadesidhe2634]

New to lockpicking. Was given some of these without keys and had no idea what they were till now. Thank you

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I am glad it helped :-)

[@jesseparent7558]

nice I'm new to picking so you've just taught me allot in this video first off what a warded lock was! I've seen that type of lock but your the first to school me on it. thanks again great video. oh and that skeleton keys are a real thing how cool is that!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words and I am glad it helped :)

[@fixingitrightish]

A tip for anyone making a skeleton key from a normal key: file it thinner so it will fit in all keyways.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for sharing

[@bcg374]

Thank you for a great video. It was very informative and enjoyable to watch. You’ve earned my thumbs up and a subscription.

[@nghgkc6]

Excellent video! I didn't know anything about warded locks until now. Thanks!!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad it helped!

rene charbonneau it is a pretty fun key to have

[@JC-11111]

I saw a good video about the Master warded padlocks not long ago. It basically explained that there were a certain number of base keys that operate all of their warded locks. Well say 5. Once you get those 5 keys, you grind off all but the tip of the cuts in the key and PRESTO! Open any warded Master lock that uses that base key. It may have been Deviant. Or possibly LockPickingLawyer. I don't recall, ATM. Edit: so I see your going over the same security flaw. 👍

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

This is a flaw that has been around for many years since KZbin. It is a fun flaw to play with. Thanks for checking it out

[@ashleymarie7452]

Excellent!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out :-)

[@pestilentz6106]

I once made a warded lock key from a sardine can key with a hammer and file. It lasted for quite a long time before eventually breaking.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

That is cool, thanks for sharing!

[@LegalLockPicker]

Nothing but the best here!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@MTimWeaver]

Given that there appear to be 5 (6?) of the warded lock picks, how do you know which to select if you don't know what the key looks like? For example, there's an old master lock (like the long, removable shackle version here) that I locked onto my sister's bed frame decades ago when I was a kid. I have zero idea if the key is even around. Given that time isn't an issue, I could try them sequentially and figure out which opens it, but that seems slow an inefficient. How do you go about selecting WHICH pick to try first?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I usually just go with the L shaper one unless I have prior knowledge another one works. If I cant get it to open then I will go through the other ones

[@CarnivoreConservative]

Amazing

[@kyleessex6301]

I have so much difficulty with these locks. Not sure why. Still can’t open the master lock 22 with a decent ward pick set.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It takes a little practice but you will get it

[@dangerdork718]

Do you have any links as to where i could buy a warded lock pick set? Big fan of your videos keep it up!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

danger dork Sparrows is a popular choice www.sparrowslockpicks.com/product_p/ward.htm You can also try www.banggood.com and you might find something a little cheaper

[@frankbiz]

Awesome, I wondered how they worked. 👍🏻

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I'm glad the video helped :)

[@diggerlenny4836]

Thanks. Was given a bunch of padlocks yesterday including some of these guys. Least now i know what i need. Can you make one from any kind of key?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

A lot of the locks have a profile disc on the front so many of the different keys will not fit but if you get the warded lock pick set they are pretty generic and fit many locks

[@chriscapune7873]

Great video!!! 🐈👏🐈👍🐾

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@chriscapune7873]

HelpfulLockPicker 👍

[@RakkaSan7219]

You only need 3 keys.....shave your 3 keys ( all online to find pattern)) and guarantee one of those 3 WILL open every lock!!...warded are Zero protection. Tho there are a Left warding and a Right one. So make 3 left snd 3 right..... one of them 3 will open any warded lock

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for checking out the video! Warded locks can be easy but I still find them fun to work on!

[@stephenstone2606]

Nice video thank you for showing👍👍👍

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Stephen Stone Thank you for the kind words!

[@suprememagnetic4850]

Glad I saw this video, just bought this lock 🔒 and thought I could pick it with a hook pick not knowing it was a warded lock 😂😂

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for checking it out. I am glad it helped :)

[@jamesforsee9499]

I've ruined my last key for my ward lock because of you. Grinding down all the pins except for the outer one only snapped out the shackle a bit. Now I have no key. I suppose I should have ground down only one of the projections on each side I don't know. Now, how do I make a key that'll really work since I have none? It is a master lock without a number

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You can buy a set of warded lock picks cheaply and they have different designs. If you pull tension on the shackle and twist around you should hit the wire. Not all of them at at the bottom

[@jamesforsee9499]

@@HelpfulLockPicker actually, you're right. I made one earlier and did not realize that, as I did not listen to the entire video. My bad. I need not have ruined my key, but now I don't need one. That was my first Ward lock pick. Thank you.

[@Void-wm5hh]

Bruh...there I thought the weird keyway made it more secure

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Now you know LOL

[@smeado3533]

I tried to pick my first warded lock yesterday with one of those key sets. Tried for 30 minutes in every way I could think of with no success.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

What Brand and model number? Do you have a photo of the lock?

[@smeado3533]

Some off brand called Task Force. Tried again this afternoon and managed to get it open.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Smeado nice work! What did you have to do differently?

[@smeado3533]

Just pulled on the shackle and kept turning both ways until it clicked.

[@noahway13]

This guy's voice reminds me of Fred Stoller.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

thanks for sharing

[@warmitag]

I always wonder that considering how beefy a real warded lock key is, why are the picks so thin? They feel like they'll just twist up.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I am not sure

[@bird718]

one key to open them all, and in the darkness......

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@SamBaconUK]

I have really cheap £1 lock that won’t open with warded lock pick set. Any thoughts?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Do you have a photo of them?

[@SamBaconUK]

Warded Padlock Pick Set - Made in Germany www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ABMTTMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oFEZCbRSV65N1 Not too sure how to upload photos to here but the link above is the set on amazon. The lock is just a made in China job from Pound Land. Thanks for the response.

[@orion8981]

These are about as close to the concept of keeping honest people honest as it gets. It's basically making your password "password"

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Keep Calm and Call for Fire that's true but you could also say the same thing about the Master Lock 175

[@SlayerO013]

SHHHH!!!! Stop telling people my password bunghole! :P

[@abonynge]

Trump used "MAGA2020!" as a password and it got discovered by a white hat before anyone with bad intentions got in. There is no telling how long that went with the Twitter of the "most powerful person in the world" defended by a password easier to guess than the translation of my username.

[@DonzLockz]

Good explanation on how to get into then but a diagram or cutaway view would help explain how they work better.👍🏽 I still see these being sold and don't understand how such an old and poor security lock like this can still be marketed. Many other locks provide weather protection so that is easily overcome. It just does not make sense but cents maybe is the only reason. 😞🍺✌

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Don'z Lockz thank you for the kind words :-) I used to use one on my gym locker before I knew about locks. I bought it because it was the cheapest lock on the Shelf and it worked. I was perplexed by the key looking so strange but didn't think too much of it. I am not entirely sure of their purpose these days but they do keep honest people out and are cheap to use

[@DonzLockz]

HelpfulLockPicker 🤤yikes...true, any lock in fact will keep an honest person out. I guess most people buy cheap so they will always sell to the uneducated to provided that false sense of security. So now you use a Abloy Protec 2? Lol. 🍺👍🏽

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Don'z Lockz Master Lock 140 on one locker because that is all that fits and then an American 1100.

[@LadyDeirdre]

The main application of warded locks is small boxes such as jewellery boxes that just don’t have the space for a pin-and-tumbler or disc detainer core. Most of these have a little extra security from what I think of as a rotation pin.

[@rafhajuarez2647]

hello how would you be so kind to give me information on where to get those tips to be able to open those locks since in my store I do not have them and had to break those locks

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

rafael juarez rodas You can get warded lock picks from Sparrow lock picks, they are easy to find on google.

[@THEBAKER3369]

Is there a way to pick them without those specific picks.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You can make your own out of a paper clip or something similar but they are not as sturdy and more likely to break

[@THEBAKER3369]

Great thanks.

[@andrewdees5934]

He keeps saying if u can compare the skeleton key to original. Ur good. But, isnt the whole point that u dont have the original key to begin with? Why r u picking lock if u have the key?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Anything that fits the keyway can be used

[@citywideunlocksmke4222]

Southord Warded keys did not work for me on my #22 warded lock. Frustrated.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for sharing you experience with these

[@relaxispower]

the skeleton key can open any lock

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Rocketlockopener]

Are you aware that master lock now puts the Actuator in the center of the lock now so if you use this set of warded lock picks they won't work anymore .

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Which model number of Master Lock are you referring to?

[@Rocketlockopener]

@@HelpfulLockPicker the 517D long shackle as well as other similar models with adjustable shackles all have the new Actuator in the center of the lock body

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

@@Rocketlockopener thanks for sharing, I will check it out.

[@Eggerhexe]

@@HelpfulLockPicker I have a similar one. Not only is the actuator in the middle (it has a wide "tooth" on the key there), but it takes so much leverage that I don't think an average pick can take the tension without bending.

[@viciousKev]

I wonder why they even put the additional teeth on the key in the first place. I cant see any purpose other than to deceive the customer into believing the lock to be more complex.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

If I had the key with me to tell me it's a warded lock then I wouldn't need to pick it. Also lot's of other locks look like that. It could be a warded, a wafer, a dimple, or a disc detainer lock. Not only is this video unhelpful the way you leave long gaps in strange places in a sentence is really annoying. "Here we have a ............. Key that's been.................. filed down so it doesn't............. interfere with ............ those protrusions". It's so odd....
