(1787) FCV Dimple Picked & Gutted

[@NothingPicksLocks]

Morning Bill! Happy Monday. I wish I was still asleep

[@billcarson1966]

Excellent video as always. I used to be intimidated at the very sight of dimple locks, but now less and less the more I watch your videos. I'm still practicing on basic locks but I look forward to the day when I'm ready to attack one!

[@Someone-mo3ye]

Nice video bill. Look forward to seeing more

[@jaythepirateroberts6012]

ty, for all your knowledge ya share with us so frequently. you've given me a new and favorite hobby. also..Mancala game boards make excellent beginner cheap pinning trays

[@ronaldboughton3089]

As a beginner its always interesting to see the different types of lock and pick styles, as well as some of the issues that even the pros run into that can make things tricky to pick, like a lock being dirty or full of lube and random dirt.

*The Adventures of Capt Dimple Ep 17* Captain Dimple: "We've been split in two, expect an attack any second!" Sargent Dimple: "Forceps attack!" Capt: "Release the grease! Don't go out, the spool guards will protect us!" BANG BANG BANG Capt: "Alright, alright! We're comin'' out! (mumbling) Idiot spools, probably Master Lock spies!"

Karen O “picked”

[@Penjulum]

Tensioning Idea: If the tensioner doesn't fit snugly try wrapping a piece of electrical tape (or two) over it. Trim excess.

[@t3hd0n]

the lack of feedback from the tensioner because of the tape would probably outweigh the benefits of a snug fit

[@RWBHere]

Me: _Watches video on Saturday..._

[@alastairreid6486]

Yeh commenters do worry about your hands. Tradesman hands can get gnarly after 20 or 30 winters. Try some tapping compound to rejuvenate the skin and wd for the joint pain. Also valve rubbing compound is good on the cuticles.

[@Madskills-hw2ox]

Sonic gun, cartridge cleaners do a great job cleaning them like new Great video my friend

[@garyanvil2354]

Bill... I do like that You put the background information about the lock.. You missed your calling as a hand model

[@firepicker5174]

Nice picking!, like a poetry!

Bill, judging by the grooves I think that retaining clip could have been rotated to get it off?

[@roysammons2445]

I love attacking dimple locks. Nicely picked Bill.

[@Orionisti]

How did you manage to flip the actuator like that @ 0:57 an still get the key out?

[@smartgrinder]

Same question here, what the hell is going on with this lock?

[@jcrnda]

I need to clean my eyes with acetone after viewing this!

[@RWBHere]

Was the 'gunk' responsible for the spools not working properly, and for pin1 not behaving properly? And when cleaned, how much better did the lock perform? Thanks Bill.

[@frankbiz]

Great picking Bill. 👍🏻 This was the dirtiest pick I have seen here. A 🛢 of grease.

[@bradw0535]

Nice picking Bill, thanks for taking us along! That thing was definitely slimy.. now go lotion those hands damnit 😉

[@mscottdowning9682]

How would yoiu know how many pins are involved if you had not seen the key?

[@zeblic]

Greasy goodness. Have you ever reviewed the "Wish" lock pick set?

[@BCM1959]

I think it's my turn to win a lock pick set. How else am I going to improve my skill set?

[@roku_nine]

Camera lens changed? Very shallow depth compared to usual?

[@Richet125]

Bill - I've always wondered what you use to cut the euros cylinders in half? Hacksaw or bandsaw?

[@bosnianbill]

I just use a regular hacksaw. Usually it takes fewer than 10 strokes.

[@truvader5366]

Love your videos

[@LeHikushiniv]

Cool lock bill

[@seriousmaran9414]

Bill plays lock version of whack-a-mole!

[@liquidbass84]

That looks fun, I want to learn.

[@parapicktog7734]

Liquid glove. Or other brands of the same stuff. You rub it into your hands BEFORE you start work to seal your pores and make it easy to clean when your done. I don't think I've come across a lock that gungy yet. If you suspect a lock is full of dirty grease, try sqirrting lock de-icer in it. That stuff is some kinda alcohol that disloves grease.

[@Cooldudewhotellsamazingjokes]

Lock De-icer has isopropanol and Carnation White Mineral Oil. It is pressurized. I am looking at a tube of Lock De-Icer that I bought last year and have yet to use.

[@parapicktog7734]

@@Cooldudewhotellsamazingjokes that's only one brand. Another popular brand contains ethanol and comes a small squeeze bottle. There are also several other types I'm unfamiliar with. But they all seem to work well as degreasers.

[@parapicktog7734]

Quick start spray for diesels also works but it contains ethanol, and some brands contain methyl hydrate (gas line antifreeze) but it comes in large spray cans and is hard to control as well as costing more.

[@David_11111]

yay

[@jonminer9891]

Hi, Bill. That was an 'ewee gewee' lock. Probably somebody lubed it up because of the sticky #1 spring. Thanks for showing us some unusual methods to open it up. Nice opening graphics by the way. Do you do those yourself? What is the graphic software? Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!

[@wot_hog]

That goop happens when graphite and oil come together and make a mess. Either use one or the other but not both together!

[@liquidbass84]

Do you get a feeling of great satisfaction every time you pick a lock? I do just from watching.

[@LeHikushiniv]

hey bill maybe look at american lock 700 agin

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

Did that lock not fit into the 3D Locksport holder I sent? Nice work either way.

[@leedeford]

hey Bill, I am having trouble getting to the lock-lab.com website. I get a screen welcoming me to nginx. Anyone else, seeing this?

[@evilarchconservative2952]

There is no - in the address. locklab.com/

[@leedeford]

@@evilarchconservative2952 even without the hyphen, I was getting the same results. Have always used the hyphen in the past. Now, after a noticeable pause, the non-hyphen URL started working so go figure

[@leedeford]

further, if you do an image search on the lock lab, the lock-lab.com url is shown in the logo pics so must have had the hyphen at one time

[@evilarchconservative2952]

@@leedeford I can't get that image to show up (slow phone). Fairly new to the tribe so I only know what the address is now. Didn't have any problems getting directly to the site. Hopefully you don't have any more problems accessing the site.

[@oh8wingman]

Why is it that people cannot seem to figure out that locks should be lubricated with dry lubes like graphite or specially formulated lubricants that leave no residue. Instead they use 3 in 1 or WD40 which attract dirt and debris and eventually ruins the lock. This thing looked like it had motor oil in it. Maybe it was up for it's 5000 mile change...........

[@gkeyman565]

Nice pick & gut, Well we know it wasn't rusty!!!

[@gozzendk]

Thanks for the video sitting bull erm Bill

[@texmexgod4002]

Nice

[@georgegeorge2526]

I believe those are German brand

[@paranormalbreakdown2195]

Whats happening

[@EricPetersen2922]

This looks very difficult

[@ufcmmareferee4105]

👍👍👍

[@DonzLockz]

Sounds dodgy that they go bust and reopen under a similar name. Cant do that in Australia till after 7yrs.😯🍺🇦🇺

[@HingerlAlois]

They didn’t reopen under a similar name, KFV and FCV were two different (sister) companies until FCV went bankrupt and became a part of KFV, which itself belongs to Siegenia-Aubi.

[@peterwiegel4778]

Hi there, How to contact you, or even get to be contacted by you? The reason I have today simple solution to make a pin tumbler lock more pick resistend in a way, I have never seen before, and wanted to know, what a real pro would think about this method. It is just a simple modification to the driver pins, that make it impossible to lift them up, when giving tension to the core, but I will not describe that here, hope you understand... Regards from Germany Peter Wiegel, Catfonts

I guess the next iteration will be "KFC Karl Fliether & Co. GmbH"

The other one wasn't able too much to type it up and I will be at your house at a later time

[@apart-timeastronaut6530]

Dimples are kinda cute, does that lock have a sister? I'd go for that one but you've already been inside

[@michaelking3327]

lol!

[@wattvoltamp]

Graphite + WD40 = Gunk
