[245] Ruko 600 Oval Cylinder Picked and Gutted

[@lsdlocks4673]

These locks are among the most common locks in Denmark. Difficult enough to pick in a vice but even much more difficult in the field. These locks are mostly under double spring tension. Once from the locking bolt as well as from a spring attached to the door-handle operated bolt. Extremely difficult to find the right tension. - Any suggestion most welcome. B.t.w. Congrats for having opened tis one.

I have taken a couple hundres of theese apart to sort and reuse while working at a locksmith as a teen... Brings back memories... :)

[@LockNoob]

Some fine picking there! Someone just sent me a Ruko to play with... It doesn't want to play with me though. Tough lock.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+Lock Noob thanks... These can be tough, but this one wasn't too bad.

[@JessHull]

I always like seeing these oval shaped locks. They really did't want anyone drilling into this thing...

[@lockpickinglawyer]

The drill protection on the side was definitely unexpected... like they were protecting sidebars that aren't there.

[@bobbykeyz1263]

Wow that was a another great job you always know what's going on in your locks it amazes me.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks.

[@orlyb7497]

Great oval cylinder. Great picking too. Thumbs up sir LPL.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks.

[@WilliamWHaywood]

I hear that Ruko has a war going on against lock picking, but you sure made it look easy. Informative also.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

LOL at the BB reference. He is, of course, correct. But this is one of their easier locks.

[@martec06]

It is a lock design from 1980´s

[@tumbl3r]

WOW! Fantastic picking, LPL. That's a very cool lock!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks.

[@tumbl3r]

Those gin bottle spools gave me no end of nightmares in a Twin I picked. It's the first time I'd ever seen a spool/countermilling combination that gave absolutely no perceptible feedback when they got hung up. Just to test the limits, I hung it up, let completely go of the tension bar, grabbed an old pick and lifted it with enough force that the pick broke. I never got even the smallest amount of counterrotation. It was a thing to behold!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

+tumbl3r I know what you mean. I have an assa 600 with these pins and the counter milled core, and it's one of the hardest combinations around. I think that assa took a step backwards when they switched spool styles and started with the "threaded" cores.

[@bajer111]

I'd be curious to see you pick an Ruko/Assa Abloy 1200/D12 as these are fast becoming the new normal in Scandinavia, taking over from the Ruko 600. I have them in my own apartment.

[@will8ace]

Good stuff, LPL. Skilful and methodological.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thank you.

[@truezulu]

I'm from Scandinavia. Nearly all locks here are Ruko 6 pin locks. Even on padlocks and the like. Its our standard lock, where it only gets better... Pick a Ruko 1200 next. I dare you ;)

[@TheFlapper666]

This is my new favorite channel

[@rjperkins365]

That is at the top of my list anything Ruko. Nice picking. I would love to have 1 day with the Ruko2 Bill had with the Christmas tree pins.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks. These locks are pretty hard to find over here, and even in places they are available, they are expensive!

[@rjperkins365]

+LockPickingLawyer ya I'm hoping to trade with someone in the area that wouldn't mind sending me 1 for about 5 of my locks, lol.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Randy Perkins I look you up if I come across some, but right now I only have 2 or 3, and I'm holding them.

[@rjperkins365]

+LockPickingLawyer I don't blame you. I was like that with my Eagle padlocks but I just sent my last 1 out today. Just won 1 on Ebay last night. For some reason I just have something for Eagles.

[@rjperkins365]

[@lockmania-locks]

Very nice My Friend, ruko is very fun to pick

[@PapaGleb]

Hold on to this one. I may have the new style drivers. If I do, I'll mail them to you so you can swap these out and get a real feel of their new style of anti pick protection. It's a big "may" but I'll take a look. Great work non the less.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Don't worry about it. I have some, and plan to swap them out. Thanks though, and thanks again for the nice lock.

[@NoctisMotus]

Aah, the legendary Ruko. Nice. Would I be right in assuming that the older style 600 cylinder is a little tougher? I say that as you seemed to breeze through it seemingly without much trouble. Not that you breezing through a lock is unusual at all. :)

[@danielroglich3309]

Great picking brother. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@feralwoodcraft]

Another excellent one Sir! thanks!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks... I spent some time on your channel a few days ago. Nice content!

[@feralwoodcraft]

Well thanks! It's a totally different genre then you here but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by :)

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Feral Woodcraft I was sharpening my Ontario SP8 that I've had since I was a kid (love that thing) before heading out to the mountains and I was watching a video on reprofiling the bevels... one of the suggested videos from there was a review you did of a Machete-ish knife (don't remember which). I liked the video and watched another of yours. I was on my third video before I actually looked at your logo and made the connection.

[@JONSLOCKPICKING]

Nice picking. The pins are T pins I think . I could be wrong tho. Anyways nice lock too. Thanks...

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks... I honestly don't know the proper name for the pins, but everyone else seems to call them "old style ASSA spools," so I called them the same. They definitely as not what I consider to be a T pin.

[@type2dk]

I have this on my front door, LPL picked this in 1:13 - So I guess it's time for an upgrade. But which oval RUKO cylinder lock is the best deplacement, not that I imagine it could stand up against the LPL in any stretch of the imagination. But What should I get???? I know the LPL probably will never see this comment, but I would love to have his input. So which oval RUKO cylinder lock should I pick (no pun intended). And I live in Denmark. I would hate to choose a different shape cylinder, as I then have to install a new lock case (is that the right word) the case you insert the oval RUKO cylinder lock. Maybe I should contact a locksmith, however I strongly believe they are not as professional as they pretend. (EDIT) time is 29.09.2021 so 5 years have passed

[@ChrisMokkel]

I see you! Not that I can be at any help, what so ever. Hope you found yourself a new lock:)

[@type2dk]

@@ChrisMokkel Hey Brother, nope still stuck with the oval RUKO, have not found any better than that yet. Måske du kender en lås der er mere sikker end RUKO's 6-pin lås? RUKO har jo "Global" markedsandel i Danmark, jeg har arbejdet i et Byggemarked i mere end 10 år, og hos os havde vi kun RUKO og ASSA, som jo er det samme. RUKO ejer ASSA, men hedder offisielt, noget med ASSA i stedet for RUKO nu (siden 2018 tror jeg). Men jeg arbejder ikke længere i byggemarked, så jeg er ikke up to date.

[@Xziriz]

This is even the low security one, garant plus is the top tier in ruko

[@pickbeard2690]

Sweet lock,pretty good picking as well😉😉😉😘👍🔐🔐🔓😎😎😎

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks.

[@flyt3774]

Some very sharp spools there, great picking as always!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks

[@mrpylak7103]

Can you let us know what style/type of pick you are using? I'm curious to see. I know everyone has their favorites. Scary good picking as usual. Thanks for the vid!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks. In this video, I'm using a Peterson standard (#1) hook. For open keyways, that's one of my go to picks.

[@mrpylak7103]

Cool. Thank you!

[@Potti314]

Wow, that's a nice lock with all these features and old-style ASSA drivers. I love these Ruko locks. Great picking on it. Do you know how ASSA and Ruko are (were) connected?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Ruko is owned by Assa Abloy -- www.ruko.com/en/site/rukocom/about-ruko/assa-abloy/

[@Potti314]

Thank you.

[@BiffMartin]

You should show us the right way to drill out a lock too.

[@KTMcaptain]

I'd like to see LPL pick the tapered version

[@trux4life907]

Is there a lishi keycoder for this model

[@trux4life907]

Do you know which lishi decoder that fit ruko 600?

[@jayo6468]

nice lil ruko.. btw @lockpickinglawyer, im looking for a vice, would you recommend the one you have? can you send me a link for it?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Thanks. The vice I use is from Amazon... it works and was cheap, but I'm not terribly impressed with the build quality. Many pickers seem to like Panavice products, but I've never tried them.

[@jayo6468]

thank you!

[@douro20]

The key is made by Errebi in Italy.

[@martec06]

A decent lock from the 1980´s

[@largol33t1]

Sadly, probably better than over two thirds of the locks on the market today. Just avoid Master and Kwikset. LPL and Bosnian Bill say they're TERRIBLE.

[@DarthPulven]

done eny ruko series 1200 ?

[@Iversen26]

How about a D1200 ore Dp2 system?

[@ambidexter2017]

The first thing I did after watching the old Bosnianbill's video on Ruko locks kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpDVp3idaNihidU was going to your channel and searching for Ruko. According to Bill this one is one of the less resistant ones, have you ever picked DP or DP+ ones?

[@forrestmorgan3222]

Joe Lock Picker, YOU will NEVER EVER come anywhere near this guy, don't even try. Your wasting Your time. He has a VERY VERY SPECIAL Gift. at this. Beat Hank Aarons Home Run record. Same League.

[@Tek-Droid]

I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling! I'm new to the hobby and have been trying my luck with a Ruko for a while, but no joy 😐

[@donpimpon7293]

I have a door in my building that has no use and a Ruko cylinder... absolutely impossible for me. Im new to this aswell, and there was no chance. I cant even go in without a rake because there is a pin nr 4 that its impossible to move with the individual hook.

[@MrTestNStuff]

Are there any lishi pick tools that Works in that ?

[@jasminelognnes989]

Had it had the new style, would it have been harder to pick? Or is it all about cutting costs?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Yes, but not much. IMO, the old style spools and core are a far harder combination...

[@christopherstigson6377]

Wait. What amount of tension? I can never seem to get the clicks. Wither it jams or nothing... :( no solid clicks (all kinds of assas)

[@thekermitcamper]

The more I go back in the video list the more the locks change genders during picking and gutting!
