Thanks! This type of analytical instruction is much more helpful than just watching someone SPPing and gutting a lock.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thank you for the kind words! I am glad it is helpful :)

[@snorman1951]

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

[@soflopicker9219]

ive had a ABUS LOTO in my naughty bucks for months which has yale key way. I had know idea about the individual holes and being able to pick up from the bottom of the keyway. Thanks for another great video! hopefully i can get it open from helpful lock picker!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

[@silkroad1201]

Lockpicking is for nerds. Which is exactly why I like it so much! 🤓

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MrSF247]

This really helps. I got a practice lock from Covert Instruments and it has a Schlage keyway. The picks I got from there, too, I discovered on my own to pick from the left side. I'm curious, if you'd suggest top-of-keyway tension (as that's what came with my set) or bottom-of-keyway tension when having to pick from that left side angle.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I prefer top of keyway (TOK)

[@CarnivoreConservative]

What do you mean when you say get past the warding?

[@randommadness1021]

Where can I get plugs? Every lock I have you can't remove the cylinder... Thanks. Excellent video as always 🙂👍

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You can only do it with the locks you can take apart.

[@randommadness1021]

@@HelpfulLockPicker yeah, I dont own any that you can take apart. But I've ordered a couple of cut aways and a couple of Euro cylinders so that should keep me occupied for a while.

[@butre.]

that core with the kwikset keyway is actually a defiant core, which has one extra thing to deal with over a kwikset. they've usually got a spool or two, and the tolerances are way way worse than a real kwikset

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It is nice to see more spools in these lower end locks from time to time

[@fattyfat-fat6639]

Been watching your vids. I know what a warded lock is. Sooo, what is the warding in the american pinned lock? I'd like to see it in disassembly. I'm honestly confused.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

The warding is the sides of the lock which makes the profile. These are pin and tumbler locks and are different than warded locks

[@educatebo]

You've mentioned pick thicknesses of 25, 21, 18 and 15 thousands. I can find 25 and European slimlines of 22. Where can I find the 18 and 15?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Gary B From as United States perspective Peterson offers 0.018 and 0.015. Sparrow is a popular choice for 0.015 but I do not believe they offer 0.018. I rarely use 0.015 because that is too thin for me and I strongly prefer 0.018

[@educatebo]

I found the 15 and 20 at Sparrows. You have the most logical academically orientede series I've found- and I've watched all of them. My sincere complements :)

[@educatebo]

Where did you get the 18?

[@educatebo]

answered above, thanks

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

No problem, I strongly prefer using a 0.018 over a 0.015, the added strength makes a difference. Thank you for the kind words!

[@ivanmoody1043]

Does it matter if you're using Chinese pics or quality American pics or is it one of those things if it works it works

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

If it works it works

[@ivanmoody1043]

@@HelpfulLockPicker thank you for responding I must have asked LPL 20 different questions and he never responds he doesn't give a crap about his viewers

[@nicknick966]

Is that .025 overreach short hook it looks Soo long

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It is. It's the hook 1 reach

[@seagull-1573]

How do you pick a tiny lock

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

SOUL34T3R with tiny picks?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Sometimes you need smaller tools

[@trampwithwings4263]

your kwikset lock looks like it's been bumpedto hell....the damage at the top of the keyway is extensive...?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

These locks have been picked a lot and a lot of it has to do with using the top of the keyway tensioner repeatedly
