(1708) Evil BKS Evicted from the Naughty Bucket

[@Assorted12]

I just recently bought some sparrows picks and practice locks. I am enjoyed the sport very much so far. You're channel was the inspiration to try out lock picking. Thank you Bill.

[@mustafak.2101]

im really celebrating the moment you changed your mind to loosing the clip with pliers rather than using the screwdriver. Your hands are precious,keep them safe!

[@JoeyClacton]

“I think that’s warding”... Genuine laugh!

[@johne7100]

Don't be sorry when it takes a while, Bill; it means there's more to enjoy.

[@gregorysmith9114]

Haven't you heard Bill, there is a moratorium on evictions during the pandemic. You got to let them back in and evict it later!

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

... yeah, I have a set of sparrows .015 med hook that I honed down to .008 at the tip. Yes, I ruined 3 of them before I figured out how they felt. All for one old Abus. This is definitely a hobby for obsessive people.

[@AlbertLebel]

Sparrows sliver picks are nice and they are .012

[@johnwickpick8621]

Fantastic job, yes its not the picking of the pins that is always the tough part but figuring out "How" to pick them is. Thanks for the show!

[@curthatt6461]

Great picking bud!

[@Brodoc]

I truly enjoy all of your videos. I have been binge watching for the last 3 days and I have learned so much in that time. Thank you for what you do and sharing it with us.

[@twjohnson1203]

"Herr BKS lock! I hereby serve you with eviction notice! You have been here two years and have not presented yourself for picking. Is six months past limit! Well? Oh, so you will not go. Very well!" 11:25 "Now you wish you had gone, yes?"

[@SanityDoesNotSell]

I'm such a damn nerd, I got so excited when I saw the title of this video. Fantastic job. It always makes me feel like I suck a bit less when you can't just rip through a lock. Also, 5 will now be 7 if I have to turn the core around lol. I really enjoyed that little slip.

[@budgreen9472]

Been lurking around for quite sometime now and thought I'd say hi considering this is soon going to be my profession. Want to say thanks to you Bill 99% of my knowledge is directly related to you sir. Love your work!

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

Great job Mr.Bill

[@Micko350]

Bill, you don't need to cut them in half, there's a tool for Euro type cylinders, called the Argus tool. Used to only be available Locksmiths but nowadays it's readily available on even Feebay!

[@tylerjacob4338]

I’m new to the hobby and want to upgrade from a cheap amazon set. You and the Lockpikcing Lawyer have become two of my favorite channels since COVID lockdown. I have watched reviews on several products on your channel and others and have myself between two sets. Was hoping for some opinions... Sparrow Ranger kit - has more items and probably easier to use due to grip size and profiles Sparrows nightshift + expansion pack - definitely smaller and slightly cheaper (40+25=$65) Both seemed to have the most common types of pick profiles I’ve seen you and the Lockpicking Lawyer use and recommend, if theres anything these kits are missing that you would consider essential for a hobbyist and minimalist prepper, please let me know!

[@cherrybacon9790]

Typical public building lock over here. Masterkeyed, soft brass to enable destructive entry by fire fighters etc, angry bitting to prevent non-destructive entry...

[@roysammons2445]

You can imagine the manufacturer of this lock saying: Just look at that keyway, those dastardly lock pickers will never get their picks in there successfully. Bill laughs with his 10 thousands pick.

[@miniwaern]

Nice to see a tricky pick and a that its possible to hacksaw those things apart just like that!

[@johndododoe1411]

Don't you just remove the C-clips from the actuator in the middle, then slide the core out the front (with a shim to hold the driver pins)?

[@Прохожий-ы8к]

Very nice work !!! Very great tools !) Something very, very interesting to me !!! Also I like to watch how you move your hands together with your tool's ! 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@james5553]

great job Bill. I love my multipick top of the keyway tensioners. Am currently in lock down making my own picks :)

[@miniwaern]

I usually grab my small pick & give it the heaviest ammount of tension and I'm good to go, in lock down.

[@rcatyvr]

Question: When the wafer in slot three came out it dropped aside 9:16 and you picked it up and put it in slot two at 9:17. At 9:19 your left great finger picked up the wafer from slot one and at 9:21 you put the wafer stuck to your finger in slot three. So if slot one is no longer wafered and two is now wafered with slot three's wafer and slot three with slot one's wafer, will the keys work when you put it back together?

[@Reapsin]

You could make a pinning shoe out of wiper insert, to avoid cutting these types of locks. That's what I did for my Yale KM Superior. Just slide it into the BoK (US style) and rotate the plug 180° from locked. Remove plug, and enjoy.

[@Penjulum]

Congratulations! ♥♥♥

[@milkmansteve1]

The pick should be named the "booger hook". The handle color makes it obvious to me.

[@robertclark3258]

Congratulations! You certainly have more patience than I.

[@tomwilliams8675]

Great job Bill

[@bradw0535]

Congrats on the naughty bucket eviction Bill!

[@Nicks-Picks]

Way to go Bill, top drawer as always.

[@thecrappylockpicker4696]

Awesome keyway 👍🏻

[@Richet125]

That would've been a permanent resident of the naughty bucket if it hadn't been master keyed, and had a couple of serrated pins!

[@Polite_Cat]

Maybe not. Sometimes the stars align and whatever combination of pins are in that lock might make it hard to pick

[@MrJools70]

I would never have picked that beast of a keyway,Great stuff mate :)

[@ImGumbyDangit]

That's a wicked keyway

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

Excellent work!

[@nukular86]

BKS is probably one of the most popular lock makers in Germany when it comes to complex locking systems in bigger buildings where a lot of different access levels need to be implemented - like schools and universities. So it's not a big surprise that it has quite some master wafers. My school had a BKS system which probably had already been in place for several decades when I went to school there. Those old systems even used differently shaped key handles depending on the role of the key. Keys which only open one specific door or room had the plain round key handle you find all over the place with euro cylinders. Keys which give access to different areas or doors in the building had the typical BKS style handle. And the master key had a very distinct rhombus shaped handle. But I have never seen one of those somewhere else since then. I guess because it's probably a bad idea to make master keys identifiable that easily so someone with bad intentions would know immediately that this is the one they need to get their hands on.

[@Westhelockpicker]

Wow 10 thousands! I thought sparrows 12 thousands were thin congrats on getting the open bill!

[@Westhelockpicker]

@Zaphod Whiskers I use whatever it spells out for me. MOST people are smart enough to know 🖕

[@user-rw3qq2sr1z]

Great pickin', Bill . . .evict em' all !

[@alger8181]

Nice job, sir. Nasty bit of keyway on that one.

[@lordsethos2000]

a little irked that the wafer from pin 1 got moved to the pin 2 slot....

[@paulbodiam798]

Yes, that bugs me too.

[@PhrontDoor]

A more than well earned kudos from me.

[@crazybob75]

Here's to hard locks and special tools!

[@davidcovington901]

Could any lock be made with tighter warding for security? Or is that set when you design the key style? Inspiring vid, Bill. I shall do something difficult today too.

[@ehsnils]

I think you are looking for this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ_Giq2rh7KnmJo Just because it looks simple doesn't mean it is simple.

[@CraigCanberra]

Hey Bill, we didn't get the usual close up of the pins in the tray at the end! I wanted to see what those weird dimples in the master wafers were all about. If you see this, can you give your assessment in a reply? Thanks!

[@bosnianbill]

They were just normal master wafers that had a small dimple in them - probably a remnant from the manufacturing process.

[@martin09091989]

whe have these on our outside door, as i started picking, most cheaper locks seem prety easy to pick. Tryed on our door, no damm chance, nothing! I am now reassured that I am not the worst picker in the world! xD

[@rarbiart]

having exactly these BKS at work makes me feel a little bit more safe (despite all the glas doors) and little less frustrated that i did not find any usable pick so far to work on this keyway if even the pros struggle with it...

[@dexhummer1]

Great video Bill!!! Awesome getting back tonthe naughty bucket

[@MickInOhio]

Very nice eviction Bill! 👍

[@raziel3726]

Craftsman!!

[@AntonyThorburn]

you have it the wrong way up!

[@DeadlyVenomKing]

Issue I have is When I picked a schlage cylinder with deadbolt. The cylinder turns all the way around but the deadbolt don't unlock the door. I used a kronos pick gun

[@elnacho15]

Hi bill

[@Borg1269]

My door has a BKS lock. BKS and Abus are pretty much standard in germany

[@sebastiand152]

True, that is why I selected a Keso lock. To present potential burglars something different. But after seeing the trouble Bill had, I should just have used Abus or BKS.

[@hihu7200]

When I buy a house, my outside door locks will be BKS locks. I will sleep soundly with those locks on my doors.

[@grumpygus81]

Nicely done! That key way is nuts, way to navigate it. At .010 that pick must feel like foil 👍

[@bosnianbill]

You got that right! I've managed to crinkle up several of them. When they fail, it is very sudden and catastrophic - not repairable.

[@grumpygus81]

@@bosnianbill I bet! I'm still a little heavy handed so I handle even my .015's with extreme care.

[@DonzLockz]

10 thou is crazy thin. My thinnest are 15 thou but I dont have your skills. Lol. Good job!👍😎🍺

[@vagabond-yj8pn]

Nice!

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

@Bosnianbill - would it have been any use trying dimple picks (flags) hooking around that warding? Well done on the eviction, though - it's that sense of satisfaction when you beat one that never fades. :)

[@georgesulea]

Outstanding:)

[@AlbertLebel]

Came down to pick selection since it had so many wafers/sheer lines. Glad it was evicted

[@tomherron4334]

How do you say “Lock Picking University “ in German? I think I might know what university uses this cylinder.

[@benbaselet2026]

Schlösserknacken Universität? Shorter than I expected if it is :D

[@levim2302]

Great pic as always!! What kind of material did you use for the handles?

[@skygh]

Glad you got yours evicted. I still have one that has been mocking me for several years now.

[@Polite_Cat]

you should have those knipex circlip pliers on the bench ready to go so you dont always have to go searching for them. i mean you've got your other stuff right on the bench, right?

[@maxc.1329]

New camera Bill? Good work as usual.

[@lmars5933]

😎out of there great spp'd my friend 😎 🏅

[@satan3090]

Would a pin be easier or harder to pick without a spring

[@danielhildebrand6892]

I'd like to see how they go together if you have to destroy it to take it apart..

[@MADMAX353]

wow

[@mikeybay]

what are those pliers?

[@experimentalarmy4495]

nice

[@christophercuckow6329]

Hey Bill, have you ever thought of not evicting a Euro cylinder lock till you're picked it orientated in your vice as it would have been installed in Europe(Bible on the bottom) ?

[@evanfelton3463]

First master wafer got misplaced into the number 2 spot

[@Skeptic2006]

I bought this same BKS euro cylinder from ebay.de. Got two original keys and two different ones with the same bidding. One had a name of a shop and address on it. Googled it and it's a locksmiths shop. I will never get this thing open.

[@jerbilkonai5081]

U should learn how to disassemble German/Euro Cylinders without cutting them always in half. Thats not necessary

[@zwz.zdenek]

That's what I also thought, but he's gonna ship each half to a different picker making the lock more useful in the hobby.

[@andrewmclaughlin7875]

Doesn’t showing the bitting defeat the purpose of covering the key code?

[@Melds]

I think he's talking about the key ID that's stamped on some master key systems that show the master set and change key number. You could potentially reverse the master and identify whose lock this is if it's an unusual mark.

[@Derfboy]

Nice picking! Also, you managed to move the wafer from pin one to pin two...lol

[@bosnianbill]

😁

[@drchancer1098]

How many picks do you own .... to the nearest 100 will suffice! 555

[@KiKi-mc2ve]

Nice!... Nasty cut on your finger?!

[@robeerob]

Did anyone see what happened at 9:17?

[@tytorubio3271]

What exactly? Wafers make it easier so if you mean he cheated by adding a wafer to his tray that wasnt in the lock doesnt make sense.. it probably fell out

[@robeerob]

Tyto Rubio no cheating, but if you look closely you’ll see that he mistakenly switched the wafers from being on pin 1 and pin 3 to being on pin 2 and 3.

[@MikeF1189]

8/10

[@cudwieser3952]

How many war wounds are you sporting this time Bill?

[@Lockpicker1973]

Happy eviction day lol

[@angelrodriguez8867]

Hey bill I’m a new picker and I was looking for you’re email but can’t seem to find it. Could someone help me out here

[@shanek6582]

How do they machine in the keyway on those locks?

[@johndododoe1411]

Long cutting tool working it's way through the core. Drill holes for pins. The long tool may be a spark or laser.

[@rtechnik]

Have you ever picked a BKS Janus?

[@tohodakilla]

comment to boost video popularity.

[@bosnianbill]

And I appreciate it! 😀

[@auricgold2501]

Nice job. I would have used high explosives. Is that cheating?

[@xxDeathKnightx]

early for a change, congrats on the eviction

[@nvlockworkx5320]

Hey bill I'm a prototype machinist an locksport enthusiast I'm building you a challenge lock wanting to know how I get it to you

[@hiltihome]

Unfortunately Bill doesn't pick challenge locks anymore. I have myself a few sitting here, based on ABUS, BKS and WILKA Euro cylinders.

[@lohphat]

BKS? Blind, Kick, Strangle?

[@davidbrennan1670]

U said green was 13 thousanths

[@OGSontar]

Did your kitty-master give you that nice little scratch?

[@bosnianbill]

Yep, the ginger cat... He tends to unexpectedly take a swipe while you're petting him. Not quite socialized, but close.

[@thomasw6169]

And I thought that finger was worn off from all that picking.

[@zvikaduman7901]

Pin1pin2pin3pin4pin6pin7 where pin5 gone?

[@Ben7seven7]

The last time I was this early this lock was still in his naughty bucket.

[@xzacto]

Just thought of a joke. Why shouldn't locksmiths sing? They only sing in "false-set-o" 😅🤐

[@johnsavage8873]

Sir, lock picking is interesting, but who really cares unless you're a thief! or the government.

How about the "stay well" comment, and you may need to wear gloves when you "play" with your cat!
