[641] RARE 10-Pin, Pin-in-Pin Tubular Lock Picked (Chicago Lock Co.)

[@carlospulpo4205]

I never knew a UL rated ACE lock existed. I worked in the Casino industry and they used tons of ACE locks and Medeco cylinders for cash handling machines then to Abloy. I seen that they now will use Van Locks on a lot of equipment that used to have the ACE locks. You should attempt to pick a Van Lock. I have a few samples around from when they first came out.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

The van locks aren’t bad for tubular locks. I have several. I’ll try to dig one out soon. 👍

Nice manicure LPL. The first one of this type of lock I ever saw was when I was a kid and my dads Snap On tool box had one. Then at the age of 16 I went to work with him in his gas station (dad was a mechanic) and we had a nut machine in the office with the same type of key. The Snap on salesman had told me they used those locks because they were so hard to defeat, but then I showed him that the key for the nut machine opened the tool box. Not great security if they're all keyed alike. I found the same thing with laundry machines, all KAd.

[@P0Z]

lol nut machine

[@metamorphicorder]

LPL: waves a chewed up toothpick in a locks general direction. Lock: oh sir, come on in we've been expecting you. Click. LPL: that was harder than i though. Me: gtfo, really get out. Man i bet you pick up a paper clip and there a huge click and grind whir through out your neighborhood as all the doors unlock and garage doors open. The cops wont even arrest you, they are just like even if we get him to the station hed just let everyone out. It would be like arresting david Copperfield. The cop is driving the car and all of a sudden hes looking at himself in the rearview mirror from the back seat and the guy driving pulls off a mask of his face and its david.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

😂👍

[@Mitsurugi2424]

i think it would be cool if you did some picking with improvised picking tools.

[@Mitsurugi2424]

When you pull off the heist just right, I ment like regular locks with Bobby pins and paperclips and stuff. him doing that is what had me wanting to see more of it

[@BrightonsPriest]

[@paulweston8184]

I own that same exact vice. They are handy. Swivels and is positionable in any direction. You need to have a flat surface to be able to seal it down. It has a rubber pad that pulls up on the base when you crank the lever over which vacuum seals it to the table. It also comes with rubber pads that protect the piece from the jaws of the clamp. They slide on or off. Idk why I just said all that. I'm not a vise salesman but its a handy thing. Throw it down wherever its flat.

[@llamamanism]

How did you know you`d overset that pin and what did you do to recover? I think thats the problem I have picking

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I felt the pin slip past the shear line. I then eased tension until it popped back.

[@jrchicago9216]

The alarm manufacturer AW Fru used these extra bitted keys, circa 1970’s. Often a cam or switchlock. It addressed the tubular lock picks that were in circulation. It was commonly deployed commercially in Grade A alarms for insurance discounts or required compliance’s.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Interesting, because HPC made picks just for these locks. Very specialty.

[@RuneInternational]

Nice to see a real Chicago tubular. I still say Chicago locks about all tubular locks.

[@CovertGamingET]

I like that tension bar you have there. Great stuff as always!

[@KinesVildHasse]

It wasn't until I looked very carefully at it that I even knew these locks existed.

[@bird718]

i wonder if anyone makes stuff like this anymore? any chance that the LockPickingLawyer has marks locks? or home doorknob type Schlage's or keypad locks to bypass?

[@Thermalions]

I'd presume he has locks commensurate with the quality of the house construction and his other security. He seems exceptionally intelligent and practical. No use putting an 'unpickable' / highest physical security lock on a door if it's in an ordinary frame or there's a window next to it that can easily be broken for entry - it'd be a waste of money.

[@bird718]

Thermal Ions kwikset thats been booby trapped

[@bretth5070]

Wow, so you are the one that outbid me on eBay for that 10 pin lock!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

😋 Happens. I lose more than I win.

[@bretth5070]

Haha, I thought I was going to be able to snipe it as the price was very low (like $20) throughout the duration of the auction. You must have had a fairly high max bid because I think I bid $81 or $82 and it wasn't enough.

[@huxleypig69]

I've wanted this lock for so long!

[@lockpickinglawyer]

😋 good luck. Hard to find. If I come across something, I’ll let you know. 👍

[@tykuke]

did you let him know? haha

[@UpperDarbyDetailing]

@@lockpickinglawyerI also want to know if you let him know.

[@linksbro1]

Huh, that's kind of a funny coincidence. I'm a more recent subscriber, and have been going through your backlog of videos, and I only just saw you picking open that 11-Pin lock yesterday.

[@corriedunstan2668]

Another great video Stephen keep up the great work!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@lockpickinglawyer]

😔 What’s with the Stephen ?

[@Pip2andahalf]

@@lockpickinglawyer Is your name actually Harry?

[@ganjajoe2566]

Great work! Thanks so much for sharing! You've inspired me to get a good set of picks and some locks! :)

[@pyratemage]

Nice job and nice score on that lock!

[@RubberBanned]

Another Stellar video, LPL!

[@itaco8066]

Thank you sir, Very nice video!

[@DonzLockz]

You get the best locks and make it look easy!😍🍺😜

[@PaulSteMarie]

Nice job. Can you avoid repicking each position by using soft tubing to hold the pins in place once they are picked?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I doubt it because of the pin in pin chambers. A long time ago, hpc made a tool for this lock, but finding one would probably require a hurculean effort.

[@danielroglich3309]

Great picking brother and nice lock also. Thanks for the review

[@gerardwalker8324]

great video. love watching them. teaches me alot.

[@javiergarcia-cuervavelasco772]

Hi, great video as usual! 😍. Question, what's the name of the mini led lamp that you are using? Where can I buy it? Thank you in advance.

[@garyw8362]

where do i find the tension tool you use for these tubular locks?

[@tonyholt90]

That was an interesting lock to see and nicely picked to ;)

[@tomeubank3625]

I'm confused by what you said at the end. Did you fully pick this lock, or only the first stage with other stages remaining in order to fully rotate the cylinder?

[@AalbertTorsius]

If you rotate a tubular lock, every key pin will be engaged by the next driver pin. Key pin 1 is now engaged by driver 2, key pin 2 by driver 3, and so on, except for the final key pin since that one is now likely in a driverless position (the nub) and the first driver pin, since that one has no key pin over it (again, that's the nub of the key would be). You now need to pick all pins again to rotate it one step further. And again, and again, depending on how far it needs to rotate (usually 90° or 180°). They're usually not hard to pick; it's just a lot of work.

[@bitkarek]

do you have some videos you picking a lock without your specialized tools? only using something you can find in an office or in a regular home? ;) (suggestion)

[@lockpickinglawyer]

No. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@marvindebot3264]

@@lockpickinglawyer I second this, a video on improvised picking tools would be great. Not much you could achieve with wiper inserts and a grinder, the spring steel bristles on street sweeper brooms are pretty handy as well.

[@sportsfan205]

Where did you find that small pen light?

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Where the pins the same size ? Like many other tube locks, that make it possible to open with a Huk tool ? If of course an eleven pin tool was made ?

[@gobinday]

so, are you hinting that you are actually a fan of FPS Russia ? So awesome. hilarious and satisfying at the scholarly level.

[@marvindebot3264]

Now that was one hell of a fall from grace if I've ever seen one. Yeah, to an extent he got done over but don't poke the bear is also decent advice.

[@williamgood4846]

Hi I like your style of picking with the heavier tension I have watched many of your videos i have been playing with picking locks for years I think I get lucky or just by doing the motions it opens but I have tried the heavy tension I can't not pick one lock that way .I'll keep trying ! And I see on this lock it says ACE but I sure it's just who sold it cause you said Chicago would be who made it is that correct?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Ace is Chicago Lock company’s brand for tubular locks.

[@mybluebelly]

Was was this thing attached to?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

No idea. It’s smaller than a normal rim cylinder, some probably something specialized, but I don’t know.

[@WilliamMancel]

Very nice. I didn't know they made a pin in pin version. Now I know. Thanks

[@MorellioBenoir]

Amazing lock! Where can I get one of those tensioners?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Usalockpicks.com

[@MorellioBenoir]

Thanks a lot! I've always used much more rudimentary tools fashioned from hex keys or screwdrivers.

[@JohnDoe-wf1lg]

I want to ask a question can a 10 pin tubular lock pick unlock 6,7,8 pin lock

[@TheOsfania]

I wonder if he locks up his collection?

[@Pip2andahalf]

I take it this is impossible to pick with your usual tubular lock pick because of the number of pins?

[@bouyant8659]

back in the day .. a very good friend o mine had a pick created for this lock MANY years ago.. apparently, there was a competition of sorts- for picking this lock w/a reward.. he traveled the country quite comfortably.. RIP DCH Why no round pick w/ 3/7 inner picks w/band tension??

[@4Core100]

I was in bank today and every officer there have their own small safe with some money. And they use this lock as activation and then there is number lock which is opened through computer.

[@FusionDeveloper]

I think Redbox has a 13 pin lock.

[@skygh]

I didn't know it existed. Thanks.

[@AlbertLebel]

Very cool. I finally did my first tubular lock pick recently just to try it. All standard tho.

[@Alpha_Donk]

Anyway to modify a plug spinner to work on that so once you pick it you can just spin it open?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

No. Particularly on this lock because the sleeved holes are so much larger than the others.

[@Waterdust2000]

but how long would it really take him to open this?

[@MikeF1189]

I love you videos, I've watched them all. Tell us about your camera setup.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Just an iPhone 7... nothing special.

[@TCGProductions03]

You need to put this on your house

[@williamvolkmann8658]

What would you recommend for a dead bolt on an american home door?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

I recommend spending your security dollars reinforcing your wooden door frames, installing security film on windows, etc... secure the far more likely attack vectors before looking to the deadbolt. After that, check with your local locksmith and see what they carry... a locks no good if you can’t have keys made, locks rekeyed, service, etc.

[@williamvolkmann8658]

Isn't it easy to pry the knob off a door set and open it from the outside?

[@patrickprice2017]

I wish you had to pick product line.

[@AdamRayGrayman]

A german company makes these locks for bikes with really thick steal threaded chain that is impossible to cut through or break for only 15 euros!! I bought it and didn't even know that it was that good, myountainbike was taken apart and stolen only the frame and the back tire remained because they couldn't nor pick or break it

[@lockpickinglawyer]

What’s the name of the company? Thanks.

[@hoellesiech]

Can you pick Kaba Star or Kaba 20?

[@lockpickinglawyer]

Never tried the star. I have picked a 20 with difficulty, but it’s not something I can do at will.

[@richscott2090]

nice work

[@Kraken1000]

What were they used for?

[@4Core100]

Safes

[@Tylers-arcade-Amusements]

I found one of those locks today on eBay

[@hardcodedsoftware4212]

Nice find!!

[@menemme]

Picking a tubular lock without a tubular picklock is per se (in itself) simply outstanding.

[@BD90..]

Very fancy

[@jeffmoss26]

wow I have never seen one of those.

[@lockpickinglawyer]

That’s surprising. I thought you’ve seen everything.

[@jeffmoss26]

I have some regular tubular mortises but not pin in pin :)

[@DARTwillRULErraawwrr]

DECENT

[@theavidpicker2721]

Nice picking bud. I would have liked to see it gutted...

Sorry... can’t be non-destructively disassembled
