(257) How to Pick, Decode & Cut a Key for a Tubular Lock

[@thepopularjockkiller]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Thanks for posting. I am just finding your channel and I'm learning A TON from you. Thank you.

[@jackbaird7363]

What an incredibly clear and concise demonstration you just did! I am so damn sick and tired of KZbinrs coming on with what they think is a good demonstration and leaves the viewer more confused than when they started. But you, YOU! made things perfectly clear. I will now subscribe to your channel.

[@kevinpulver4027]

I was needing some tubular keys and wondered how they were made. Interested in all things mechanical so thanks for the show!

[@michaelstewart6414]

Hi bosnianbillI got into lock picking several years ago and I had the opportunity to purchase a 7 pin and an 8 pin tubular pick along with instructions on how to use them. Never got them to work until I watched your video. Picked a seven pin first try. Thank you so much!

[@GeoffBernard]

This is the only REAL video that shows how to cut tubular keys correctly. A+!

[@robertwest3093]

Those Segal locks use a beautifully designed key head. Like the old Corbin and Russwin keys. That tubular key cutter is brilliant.

[@TheLoneliestManOnline]

That was rediculously brilliant. Freaking awesome

[@randy2611]

Awesome and easy to understand thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@nikolajockov6932]

Neverovatno. Koliko alata, za koliko poslova... Svaka čast.

[@Riyame]

Awesome segals. I will have to start looking for keyless tubulars since I have a Herty Gerty on the way.

[@GodOfJazzDylan]

Amazing! Extremely well done. I've got to try some tubular locks!

[@Publius_Valerius]

In new to lock sport, and just got a tubular lock to play with but I cant find out why it is a 4 digit code for a 7 pin lock. Google and reddit havent helped so I figured I'd ask here. Big fan and have already learned much from you.

[@kevinsmith7985]

Nicely done!

[@AlexBlate]

You beat me on that auction! Damnit!

[@RedpillPortugal]

simply amazing

[@grahamconquer1656]

Hi bill hey its [e-mail] from Glasgow Scotland how are you?

[@Nighthorsecases]

There you go!....Tubular picks comes in 7.0-----7.8, for different size tubular locks..i do lot of Harleys ...Just lots of fun !! love what I do.

[@Nighthorsecases]

That's one of my special locksmith things I do so many of with great joy...

[@ewkalt4770]

i got an old pc at a thrift store with one of these locks but no key so now i can do this and make another one, thanks

[@rudyv1705]

Bill great videos! I've been able to pick tubular locks and decode and reset my pick and place the depths and reopen easy enough. Question is.. When I'm looking at the open face of the pick as if it were a key and the center pin is at the 12 o'clock position.. is the 1 o'clock(clockwise) position there the actual first number to write down as number 1 position to the 7th or 8th or is the 11 o'clock (counter clockwise) the first to write down going the other direction to the 7th or 8th? I need to get some keys cut at a locksmith. Thank you.

[@BlizzetaNet]

That's something I cannot do... Excellent work, my friend :)

[@waddac2]

Great video and very nice lock Bill

[@Tpachal]

That was so freakin' cool.

[@MrEthanhines]

my southford came with a right hand decoder that looks like a key. where did you get your plastic decoder. seems easier to use in my opinion. also where is the best place to go to have a tubular lock keyed once decoded?

[@tight4soundz]

Hell yeah. Thanks. Awesome job. I can't wait to get my hand on a couple of tubular locks. Do you have any bill? I need a couple so I can test out my 7 8 and 10 picks.

[@PandaFPV]

Where do I buy both tools shown in this video?

[@BSAElectronics702]

amazing work!

[@bosnianbill]

That nub shouldn't have any effect. With partially picked tubular a I often file off the nub so I can operate the lock. Good luck and please let me know what it turns out to be. A mystery!

[@conantdog]

Nice tools ,nice video 👍

[@jeancouch4018]

What is the most common tubular lock size 7.0, 7.5, 7.8?

[@TheBugmenot2009]

+bosnianbill I had heard (I think in a defcon talk) that 7.8 was more common in the U.S., and 7.0 was more common in Europe. Is this incorrect?

[@mogensr]

TheBugmenot2009 - I have triied a 7,5 from USA, with a decoder tool

[@newfdogg]

Great Video Bill ;)

[@jorgepaniagua4105]

What machine do you use to make the cuts, where can I buy it, and how much does it cost?

[@snoman003]

Did something similar for a 7 pin tubular steering head lock on my bike when I bought it(no key). Used the same pick I got from our Weapons Tech to decode and got him to cut a key. My question is, where did you get the cutting gizmo you were using? That thing is the cats meow for portable work. Also, will it work on 5 pin tubular locks? Thanks and keep the vids coming.

[@micheleperuzzo4004]

I have an Ace 2 tubular lock laying around does that tool shown in the video work for those kinds of locks? or is there a different size?

[@user-rw3qq2sr1z]

Just amazing !!

[@mariusmihai3952]

What size are the teeth 1-7 from the blue decoder

[@peterzenner2020]

It appears Bill has changed the roll pin in his Southord pick to a regular solid pin.

[@tomocoue2962]

Great video

[@x8711]

U r GREAT

[@twilightdiamondgirl]

Thank you

[@AlexBlate]

I think we need to coordinate on our eBay hunting... I suspect that we (many of us) are often bidding against each other -- which only benefits the sellers.

[@edsmileytube]

A few of us have thrown around that idea, but unfortunately some people are not out for the community, but to make a buck off fellow pickers. Maybe there is something that we can work out.

[@thomas1981tl]

I was wondering about square keyway like in Reese towing products.

[@random5147]

Do you know if there is a decoder for euro cylinder lock. I can only find a euro multi lock decoder.

[@random5147]

How do you measure the pins once it's picked don't want to get stuck inside the barrel. Do you think you can do a quick video on it.

[@random5147]

Here Are some good close up pictures of one somebody has made.

[@Serkan-ge1pi]

how can we get the machine

[@dereknesbit6330]

hi bosnia bill, i am a big fan, i am visiting florida, orlando, and want to pick up a herty gerty, can you help me and tell me where they sell them, i have tried to find one on line but no success!!

[@robkastl3024]

Hey there... did you ever find one? I'm looking for one myself...

[@jrhinebolt1984]

Do u guys cut tubular keys for people? I been looking all over and cant find anywhere that grinds tubular keys.I don't have a key to duplicate but i have some numbers off of the lock that i was hoping was the key code. Maybe someone could tell me how long the codes are for tubular keys? I have a box that i am currently locked out of and i really don't want to cut the lock off.

[@updatesandstoriesnuman3095]

Sir, This video is very helpful for me in my profession I want these tools in India. How could I get it, please let me know ......

[@mandingo1125]

Awesome

[@AimSmall101]

Nice!

[@AlexBlate]

I didn't know you could use a Lego to decode Ace locks!

[@seanjuth]

Could you follow up on this?

[@bosnianbill]

On what, specifically?

[@seanjuth]

Bosnianbill this herty gerty

[@seanjuth]

Bosnianbill with another lock

[@jasiek8991]

How this is possible that this decoder work's?

[@izatt82]

Magic

[@Riyame]

Of course you can. I am sure they come with the lego safe ;)

[@XMSTARSHIP2]

sweet!!!

[@nickboyer963]

What's that pic called

[@marcusibrahim]

Pro

[@anguslever9075]

F poo under your video as I was trying to identify a lock I came across, and figured you might be able to ID it, it looks like a old soda machine lock, but it is sunken in abit, and the keyhole is a circle with squares on the top and bottom of the circle hole in the middle

[@anguslever9075]

...er it won't let me edit, the first line should read as "I found your video as I was trying to identify a lock I came across"

[@adenpoole8626]

Kinda sounds like Vince Gilligan

[@shaunavalon843]

Jeez - 5 minutes. woah.
