(1046) M&C Matrix SKG w/Trap Pins Picked & Gutted

[@kevinw9625]

Good picking Bill, that was a hell of a blind pick. The only thing I would have like to see would have been how to engage the "tail piece" (or whatever it's called on the euro cylinders) it didn't seem to rotate with the core and I know sometime there is some sort of button that has to be depressed to actuate the turning mechanism. Either way it's about the pick! I don't know which I like more the actual picking or getting to see the goodies inside. Thanks for the education and entertainment!

[@rjperkins365]

Kevin Leonard in the middle of the lock in most cases is a plug that will turn the actuator at the same time the core spins. A lot of times it is a two piece but connected and exactly the same shape. the key is just long enough to push it in until the side the key is in is all the way in the actuator and a little in the core so they work together and the other half of the plug is in the none moving plug sitting still and that is how they get the actuator and the core to spin together while leaving the other core stationary. The other side while not work until that little plug is pushed back the other way. On most thumbturns it is spring loaded so the thumbturn side is always engaged until a key pushes it in.

[@rjperkins365]

Kevin Leonard hope that helps and doesn't confuse you more.

[@kevinw9625]

Thanks Randy. That does make sense. I only have a couple euros in my small collection "no thumb turns but I didn't have to activate anything to get the actuator to turn with the core. I guess the reason I brought it up was because if you were really trying to gain entry you would most likely turn it the full 360 and not gain entry and would be hosed needing to pick it again. So not quite an open.

[@rjperkins365]

Kevin Leonard Yeah he should definitely mention it but us lockpickers are really just looking for the core to turn, and he probably would forget it if he ever did have to open a door.

[@choochoochooseyou]

Don't be sorry, Bill, I learn a lot just following your thought process throughout.

[@MarkPolley]

Good vid, i like it when people are not afraid to show the good, the bad and the ugly

[@theresateale4122]

Your skill amazes me bill.if you tube doesn't work out forever have you considered being an assassin. If I had these skills i would opens someone's door rearrange their furniture and lock it back up.

[@bosnianbill]

Hmmmm, another career option.... Furniture re-arranger...👍

[@stevewalker7822]

Neato! We've all had locks we took apart the first time, Bill. Don't sweat it.

[@wfm125m]

Nice! I just bought a flat in the Netherlands and preparing to change the locks. Just 200m away I have distributor of M&C locks - I will go there and ask what they offer! Thanks!

[@LaurentMaitreK]

Hey Bill, love your videos, really changed my life, can't look at a lock the way I used to, I live in Japan and my house lock is a specific magnet activated lock, been trying to get one to have you curse it, anyway, on the bright side I'm opening a bar next three weeks.. the lock on the door so far is so weak you'd probably get it by pissing on it... point is, come around to Japan, you can stay over at my place and drink at my bar... open bar for you.... lemme know... =)

[@DoRC]

hey what was that first pin that fell out when you first pulled the core??????

[@deathnightANIMATED]

Do R/C! side pin

[@floorpizza8074]

I don't know why I even bother with a pinning tray when I'm gutting a lock... I end up having to retrieve everything from under the refrigerator every time.

[@mandolinic]

So, put your pinning tray under the fridge and you're ready at all times.

[@lunaticz0r]

Bosnian bill

[@snowblowertruck]

I have found that if you can fold up a large bath towel a couple of times and place it directly below the lock you're working on, it tends to absorb the velocity of the flying parts, and catches them. This cut down my hunting and tracking time of missing pieces immensely.

[@bosnianbill]

So, you're taking gutting tips from me....? Happens all the time - just remember to check the vacuum bag before throwing it out to retrieve the lost parts. 😃

[@hardwareful]

You'd be the first one to gut a lock in a glove box, but... gotta to what you gotta do :)

[@Parkks528491]

lol 13:32. Can you go over the side pins or slider? I have no idea how that works.

[@scottodd3437]

Beautiful pick there Bill , Love to see you make those tough locks look sooo easy hehe

[@derekbroestler7687]

WOOOO.... that's a beast!!! Great picking!!!

[@thelockpickinglebowski633]

Nice deep false gates. Is the keyway an M and a knocked over C?

[@VideoDotCam]

Seemed like a professional gutting to me, if I tried that there would be pins, springs, heck even the lock body flying past my head... Very cool lock, Thanks for explaining how it all worked together Bill!

[@rjperkins365]

I would really like to know how you did that so easy. My guess is really bad tolerances and only a couple false gates. Anyone who's seriously tried to pick an ASSA twin knows that was way to easy. Easier than a Primus.

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

A lovely bit of nightmare mixed with sly cunning!

[@Meejhem23]

I don't know if you are already aware, but SKG is not a brand/type of locks. Its a security rating. Some locks have no SKG certification, other may have 1, 2 or 3 stars. Higher are more resistant to brute force assaults by the time it takes to open it, and a SKG *** lock is only rated it the door, frame, hinges and other hardware is also *** SKG rated. You may already be aware, but your title suggests otherwise.

[@g.w.p3807]

Practically a clone of the medeco bi-Axel cylinders with all the rave in the 80s over the side bar, with - out the rotating bi-axle pins..very impressive picking the pain in the butt side bar...Bill your the man..!

[@DoRC]

14:07 that's what she said

[@BrotherWitch]

I was thinking "My wife has said that to me before." :)

[@alexsully2586]

Incredible lol....

[@xcryi]

Since most of the action is on the inside, I like to lean back and close my eyes.

[@BarbaryStudio]

I'm thinking the DOM IX Twinstar and Dom Diamant, Assa Abloy k800 are the better choices.for high security

[@rogerhudson9732]

Surely a blank face ( with no company name) is more secure. Is a Dumm keyway cover any good?

[@mrlithium69]

Are the pins really copper ? They look brass. Isnt copper too soft ?

[@pommesaumon]

love yours video bill! keep up the good work!

[@bmitch3020]

Awesome pick. Would have liked to have seen some undercutting with those top pins, though I'm sure you wouldn't.

[@kjstools3261]

We are working on that

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

really cool lock, amazing picking 🔓

[@xx-ui2gm]

@BosnianBill Did you know there is an "M2" version of the M&C Matrix cylinder? I have two of these and they are really challenging for me, but i managed to get them open and gut them. It has almost the same features except the type of security pins used. It wouldn't be harder to pick than the cylinder in this video but it has one very interesting pin i don't even know what to make of.

[@corriedunstan2668]

The actuator never turned bill when you picked it did you notice that?

[@_aullik]

Hey bill you lost a sidepin at some point. what was he for?

[@kjstools3261]

It was a trap pin

[@col2472]

It's being sold for just €49,95 in the Netherlands. Amazing lock!

[@user-by7hj4dj9s]

That's not bad, but all that stash and he got it in about 8 minutes, very nicely engineered otherwise

[@col2472]

Bill was lucky with the fake sliders & trap pin didn't trap it because he turned the core the other way. But it was a very nice picking though

[@DonzLockz]

Looks like a good quality lock but you need a hot assistant to help with gutting these!😁👌✌

[@truthbtold5690]

Hello Bill, would you be able to recommend a few brands of door and padlocks that are difficult to pick and affordable?

[@trm96]

It's a wonder that you don't poke your fingers more often, the way you wield that screwdriver taking the clip off the tail. Gread vid Bill, love your channel!

[@amalfi460]

Thanx boz I'm a newbie picked my first couple of easy locks. Don't think I will be picking that one for quite some time

[@JanEikeK]

I have been a newbie since i got teached lockpicking on ccc '97 - but the little i picked up has worked for all real-world problems that i had since then ;)

[@send9]

Great picking and a cool lock!

[@frankdoemen]

was that a chunk of bacon?

[@isavedtheuniverse]

at least you didn't pick from the booger end...thanks for that ; )

[@davidkroth]

Ear wax.

[@EnergeticWaves]

David Simmers what was that stuff?

[@EnergeticWaves]

Seems a worthy effort, but you picked it in minutes. Oh well.

[@Swoost]

I usually go through about 50 picks on the very hard locks, you must be lvl 100?

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

Do you have other videos regarding 'sliders"? I haven't encountered these before. Thanks, great vid. R

[@zeroenna8554]

Now that is a beautiful lock.

[@douro20]

A bit of a roughly machined core, but am I asking a bit much of a Dutch cylinder?

[@ovalwingnut]

So you "pick" from the side with the "Booger" or without? Hey, just asking :)

[@theoneandonlyghandi]

Were they false gates or master keyed sidebar pins?

[@MarcLowenberg]

Great job Bill !

[@dethadder0]

9:33 Enter the world's longest Allen wrenches! Did you buy those so you could undo set screws in Bosnia from your workshop, Bill? lol

[@rustylocks1330]

Any online retailers for this lock? I can't seem to find anywhere that stocks it. It might just be available in the Netherlands but IDK

[@OutsideCatInAStorm]

Why were both top and bottom pins in position 1 different material? Are they harder?

[@pinpickers1175]

Anti drill pins

[@michaeldunham3275]

How come the face of the lock look like a happy choo choo train @ 5:40

[@CripSkillz]

I want to see this kinda stuff with a lock in the door, is it way harder? I'm betting it is.

[@grantmurdock853]

You said "dollar to a doughnut." I've only known my parents to say that!!!!

[@robertclark3258]

Grant Murdock That expression is from the days when donuts didn't cost a dollar or more. 😉

[@stevehenke678]

yeah i couldn't figure that saying out, I'd take the doughnut.

[@keathbuxton3283]

Grant Murdock The saying is doughnut hole.

[@CripSkillz]

I've only know a few doughnuts to be more than a dollar lol

[@-Turtl3_]

I'm looking for a new cylinder and trying to decide between the M&C Condor and BKS Janus 46. Does anybody know which of them offers better picking resistance? I would really appreciate recommendations :)

[@jackglk8970]

Key iss messing??

[@chucknaround5271]

Is that a real lock set in your pinning tray with your name on it? Or is it just made to look like a real one? I always wounder if it comes out or not?

[@bosnianbill]

Those are the picks that I use in every video.

[@raphidae]

I think you're maybe looking at the 5 sliders there in the brochure, not the key pins.

[@0NodMan0]

*_Jeez Bill, you got hella lucky with those false gates mang. Good job man, keep it up._*

[@Olavarrience88]

Donde de vende ese cilindro?

[@jahVlad]

oh my god i had one of this security locks but mine had sliders on both sides and they did not bind at all and i think i had no normal Pins just sliders, of Course i was not able to pick it since im a beginner can anyone tell me how to pick those or how to know wich one to try to pick first since they are not binding they just move arround no matter what Tension i had on the core. there are a lot of this locks in europe and without the Card you cant go to locksmith and copy a key, great security lock, one of many many many security locks in europe

[@foxsux6000]

I'm ordering a lock of this brand in the summer for my apartment, i'll probably won't be able to pick it so who will bother to pick it?

[@Zodliness]

Nice lock... I can't see a way to thread or counter mill the bible for lack of access from top or bottom. I'm surprised you found no threading on the core either. That would have made this already challenging lock far more challenging with the pins they chose. This is my opinion, I could be wrong :)

[@MasterMindmars]

Good job

[@wrightnelson4414]

That's a cool lock.

[@milanmarkovic4348]

I would really like to pick some locks but i cant find the tools in my country. I try to make some but no success. HOW TO GET SOME TOOLS IN SERBIA.

[@Lalaland.001]

banggood or ebay would be a good start :D

[@gordonwiessner6327]

Would like to watch you reassemble it.

[@maffnarbenbacke7288]

How you can Open a Lock Like this Easy And much Faster about in 10 Min ??? And How i can Block Lock Pick ?

[@bosnianbill]

Practice & experience. If you figure out how to block the lock pick, patent the idea and get rich.😀

[@maffnarbenbacke7288]

Bosnianbill i want to know how they can Open my door with that Lock because its almost impossible to open

[@bosnianbill]

It is not that difficult to pick open, sorry.

[@plankhill]

Its all gutting and games till someone loses an eyeball going into the unknown hehehe heheheh

[@2450logan]

This is why police have battering rams 😂

[@foxsux6000]

This is why my front door has a steel plate (lol)

[@scuttles_2350]

Bill should do a Q n A

[@DrMemory667]

Those false gates on the side-pins don't look like they would work. Should be full width but not full depth? I wouldn't think the side-pin would feel them.

[@gukken100]

Hello mr. Bill we are a small Danish company that makes security cylinder,I have a challenge for you how I send to you. Best Regards Dan Hansen

[@TheDnbtommy]

He has his mailing address in his channel info

[@SuperAWaC]

are you sure you're eod?

[@plankhill]

I gotta tell ya bill, you make the shortest work of any circlip on the planet. Lock picking aside, I will spend 30 minutes with 10 different tools, but you just snap that joker right out of there...

[@TEIS3210]

i think you said it right the first time with the brass.. its not copper

[@Psyadin2]

Snakes are venomous, not poisonous, you could call them toxic tho, as that covers both terms.

[@blorgl5264]

omg i live in the netherlands and i have these locks evrywhere and on my street they all have another extra security :(

[@Wrench245]

I'm a self taught hack. That lock would have driven me farther into insanity. I say "farther" because everyone ignores my rule not to watch me when I need to pick a lock and I usually wind up with a crowd. It is certainly not a lock that I would want to pick in the middle of the night to repo an aircraft.

[@harrychung433]

Seeing how we know you have WD-40 and big hammers, you need to add some duct tape to your work bench, Bill. Or you could have asked your Guard Cat for a helping paw there.

[@RoeLunatic4ever]

Pfff....i watch this, and struggle with a simple 3-pin lock...

[@TAD3011]

Nie widziałem, aby zabierak obrócił się o 180st. a powinien. Aby u mnie otworzyć zamek zabierak musi się obrócić dwukrotnie o 180st.

[@wolfpeterson]

Very similar to CX5

[@needzadayoff]

wow

[@skygh]

Its brass Bill.

[@Kotih]

forgot to go over the trap pin XP

[@johnd0e25]

wrong way up :)

[@ITpanda]

Anyone else see the spider on the tray?

[@MrPLC999]

It kind of boggles the mind but the best lock companies in the world invest hundreds of millions of dollars to develop "unbeatable" devices, yet an experienced picker like Bill knocks them out in minutes. It must be totally humiliating for them. And the people who spend a couple hundred dollars on a lock have no idea how easily it can be picked. Seems like a racket.

[@alexsully2586]

MrPLC999 it does seem like a racket.

[@RileyBanksWho]

Nederlandddddddd!

[@OskarGregersen]

who cares

[@elesjuan]

Oskar Gregersen really man, I don't get it. Every single video on KZbin has "Hurr first" or "notification squad" who really cares? If you don't have something constructive to contribute, don't post on videos.

[@VideoDotCam]

elesjuan Oscar Gregersen cares, as do most sane individuals. It's a dumb fad some people started that long agoo became irrelevant. The fact that it still continues is ludicrous. You got first, wow good for you, does that make you special? No. The idiots that started posting "second", "third" etc are even worse. You're saying Oscar doesn't care about the content, I'd venture to say the firsters are the ones you should direct your message to, get them to post something meaningful in the first place.

[@OskarGregersen]

Perhaps I could have been more eloquent in my initial comment, but I merely wanted to watch the video without wasting my time beforehand. It is just annoying to find that some people think it so important to highlight that they were there first, as opposed to just watching.

[@VideoDotCam]

Oskar Gregersen Sorry misspelled your name above, just noticed it :)
