(1717) Mako's COVID-19 Pick Eater

[@makolocks3048]

Shucks! I did not account for the ol’ “Bouncey Bouncy” technique. Congrats on successful pick, Bill. Glad you enjoyed it. 😀 Lastly, a moment of silence for the lost picks...

I think this lock is really great against burglers. It would be absolute fantastic with drill proof acid proof and break proof you know.

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

MAKO Locks, Thank you for doing this. Love the idea of a lock manufacturing making a super hard lock to pick ... what a concept. Can you tell us what other KZbin channels received these challenges?

This was one of your best videos yet! I got so much out of this and one more thing; it's so damn nice to see a quality product in action! I absolutely do not possess the skill it takes to even think about messing with but it would go in a nice box and be saved as a goal to work towards. So humbling!

Wowza, it's great to see Mako supporting the community during the pandemic. Time for some new picks! Thanks

Still doing challenge locks (when they are direct from the president of a lock manufacturing company) :O

[@junkman8742]

I was perplexed too because he said just this week. "No challenge locks". Bit I guess he makes exceptions

[@makolocks3048]

It’s not a true challenge lock. The internals are no different than our stock SFIC keyed cores. We just picked some interesting bitting and engraved a message on the keys.

That was nice of Mako to pass that challenge lock onto the Locksport community, well done sir, well done ;-)

[@amcconnell6730]

10:13 "This key isn't working ... I probably wore down a pin with all that picking." And that is why you only pick locks that are yours, and are not being used....

[@Lockpicker1973]

It's good to see even a super skilled picking master have a time of it sometimes. Makes poor guys like me feel better. Great job picking the lock Bill. Have a wonderful day

[@bosnianbill]

Then my goal has been achieved! Unlike other channels, I try to give you a REALISTIC idea of how things go, not a pre-practiced, memorized bitting, and scripted opening - all in a neatly packaged 2-3 minute video. Of course, this probably explains why some of my videos are not so popular...

Why didn't you gut it? I was very interested in seeing what exactly put up such a fight all the while mauling all of those picks! What is the logic after deciding when to gut-or-not-to-gut? I don't understand; it almost seems random. Some very common boring and predicable locks are laid bare all the while those spicy enclaves of secret alien technology are withheld?

[@Alex_dlc]

Why arent these the type of cores they use in padlocks?

[@MassaCreto]

I got worried... awesome lock...and I love the side switching tool... since you all make those tools... what would be a word of advise, how to approach the tool creation process. I bought myself some tools for reference and am thinking to build myself something useful... I want to build ones for standard 6-7 pin keys, dimple locks, disc rotation, and maybe more usefully tensioners... do provide your advise on what to do and possible some templates or guides how to... 🤘😁👍

[@wolfbrave4866]

So a well balanced strong spring in the pin makes it harder, So if those locks with digital pin were to add springs that are strong enough to prevent a pick from pushing the pins and yet a thicker pick will not matter as it will not fit the key way 🤔 hmmm.

[@conner1466]

I hope the lockpicking lawyer gets one too, good vid man

[@ghodgeco]

On IC cores always tension to turn clockwise. That way you double your chances of hitting a shear line. An Unlock or core removal (Control) is equally as good. Either way, you're in.

[@danielmierop662]

Very nice. While watching I thought 🤔 what if that removable core was made of clear resin. Then camera on both sides of the cylinder. Work on picking it. Then play back in slow motion.

[@-42-47]

Persistence and luck really are a great combo. Meanwhile I just managed to pick my first real security lock (or at least what I would call a security lock) an Abus 80ti/50 that I've been working on for 6-9 months or so, not sure how many hours in total on that lock but I'm guessing it's 250-300. So yeah persistence really pays off but I wanted to rule out the luck factor so I want back to it a couple of days later and got an open in less than 2 hours (spread across 4 picking sessions). But yeah would love to see that mako gutted, not enough Covid-19 dissection videos on youtube!

[@PhrontDoor]

He was feeding it picks like a pez-dispenser in reverse. Congrats on your perseverence.

[@TonyFleetwood]

Boy i guess i need to re lock everything with that guy huh?

[@elbee2324]

As a non-lockpicker, what is the difference between an Operating and Control Key? I have not heard those terms before.

[@bosnianbill]

These SFIC locks have two shearlines and two different keys for them. The operating key simply operates the lock normally and is what the user carries around. The control key does not open the lock, but allows the lock to be removed and replaced with another one very quickly.
