[@sssargon8569]

@@reverendtfg6802 Actually, comments DO help a video, when it comes to the KZbin algorithm! each comment is a very small thing alone, but the amount of comments is taken into account as part of viewer engagement, along with total view time, likes and dislikes. (of course, likes, view time, and comments help a video, while dislikes hinder a video) If you've got anything to say to the contrary, i would like to see it backed up by even one statement from anyone who verifiably works for KZbin, as opposed to an unproven, incorrect "no, it doesn't."

My kids just got there clear locks and picks for Christmas...I locked them around a case with $25.00 inside and they've been going for about 10 min trying to open them lol Merry Christmas Bill and all in the lock picking community.

[@mattfleming86]

Thats awesome! If they don't get it by Jan 1 slip 'em a Bogota/city rake.

Did you bother to tell them how much was in there to begin with?

[@jameskitzmann6268]

Could you make a lexan cover plate so we could see inside while picking?

Just wanted to say thank you for all the new and interesting knowledge, and deep condolences in these hard times. I sincerely hope you enjoy your retirement as much as possible

[@Boogan-D]

Howdy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hadn't watched your channel for a couple of years; but I remembered that I learned a LOT of my lock picking skills from you - when I was maturing into my rent home property management business. This year, without a lot of evictions to do, I haven't had to pick as many locks; maybe 2 or so, a month (Lost keys, Renter Abandonments, etc.). - However, I still have all of the tools you recommended and I can still make the tension tool turn most locks after setting the pins. With evictions likely starting again; I'm probably needing to brush up on the latest residential lock non-destructive entry techniques. Renters are getting real bad about installing their own locks and throwing our move-in Kwikset locks into the trash. - Good luck in the coming year! -

[@Zerbey]

Best wishes on your retirement Bill, thank you for everything!

[@theafro]

No shit, that was the bitting on the front door of my house growing up! we changed it in the late 80s but I'd recognise it anywhere! it's probably part of the reason i'm here picking locks now, I'm going to have a rummage in the stash as i'm sure I kept a key for old times' sake.

Great work Bill. What really impresses me with Curtain picking, is how they identify the lock (one out of hundreds) from the tiny amount of info available through the keyhole - that's the real skill, out in the field anyway. Happy Christmas everyone.

I am still working on my first challenging lock with my first set of picks.

[@William_Borgeson]

I started picking about 9 months ago to keep my mind off things and it worked so well, my family saw how much I loved picking locks and now I'm sitting here with about 30 lbs of American padlocks, 2 Medeco padlocks, 1 medeco cylinder, assorted puck locks, assorted lever locks, warded locks and on and on. I'm 54, never thought I'd tear up getting a box of locks but yeah I did! Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@cardiffpicker1]

5 lever locks are virtually never stamped with a manufacturer mark, that is usually on the faceplate.

[@shadow-cast]

Merry Xmas Bill, now pick a lever lock from the back!!

[@johndododoe1411]

Same procedure, he picked it before knowing which side the tension wheel was.

[@shadow-cast]

@@johndododoe1411 Hi, my question doesn't really apply to curtained locks, however if the lock unlocks clockwise then generaly these are tensioned from the back, I've just not seen a lever lock picked from the other side, (tensioning from the front), in the case of a curtained how do you get to the last lever the tensioner will be in the way? I'm just curious

[@johndododoe1411]

@@shadow-cast In this model, the curtain itself was the tensioner. Without that feature, tension tool needs to let the picking wire go through a hole behind the front tensioner.

[@shadow-cast]

@@johndododoe1411 I'm sorry but I think your missing the point, my question doesn't apply to curtained lever locks, if you have a lever lock that needs front tension, how do you get the wire behind the tensioner, if you put the wire in the key hole first the shaft of the tensioner wouldn't fit, every demonstration i have seen has been rear tensioned, I'm just asking for a demonstration of a front tensioned (non curtained) lever lock,. As a mechanical engineer I can see how it could be done with a custom (hollow) tensioner, but not with the standard type of tensioners (or cut down old key), thanks in advance and happy Xmas.

If the bitting is 43565 how would this lock open from either side. I would imagine the bitting needing to be something like 34543 so that it was the same, read front and backwards ?

[@parapicktog7734]

Nice pick, even nicer tool set. I've never had cause to criticize your videos, but this time I couldn't tell what you were doing just look at the tensioner with the wire wiggling around in it. Next time you pick a lever lock, can you change the view so we can see your hands please?

[@johnny0628]

Definitely not a Custodial Lock.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@johnny0628 Really? Even old-school jails? I remember seeing this exact kind of key used in movies and stuff.

[@TristynRusselo]

What is the difference between warded and lever lock? is there a difference?

[@dlevi67]

Yes. In a warded lock the only thing preventing the lock from turning is a set of shaped wards that prevent the wrong key from getting into the opening and/or turning; nothing "moves" inside the lock other than the bolt, so if you have something sufficiently thin to pass through the warding elements and grab the bolt, you can move it. A lever lock makes manipulation of this type impossible: unless the lever gates are all in the right position, the bolt will not slide.

[@johnny0628]

That's a thrower and not a curtain. A curtain doesn't drive the lock bolt via a talon cut.

[@JimmyC]

Usually in jail will use this type of lock

[@dustyfarmer]

Try picking it without viewing the key cut with the lock in place in a real life situation. You'll need a visual on the levers. Try some Australia'n ROSS locks with no movement,false gates on the levers, bet you cannot.
