I have one of these locks. I never realized it had a pinning window. Really cool!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for checking it out! It is very helpful

[@roysammons2445]

That's a really clever way of rethinking the lock to a different key. I love the fact that it's so easy to take out the key pins and even add a 6th pin. Very well demonstrated video HLP 🔓🙂👍🏻

Thanks for checking it out, I agree it is a really cool lock and I'm surprised it's not very expensive either

[@michaeljenkins4908]

A beautiful lock with a really cool core.

Good info! Question. How do you know a key's number, if it isn't printed on the key?

[@iyeetsecurity922]

Oh damn! It's a good thing I was keeping the box to mine, because I wasn't aware of the extra pin/spring/cover nestled inside of it. I've got extra pins, but was trying to think of how to plug the hole. Was going to use either a wiper blade or a set screw.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you didn't throw it out

Love the Lock,great video bro.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

👍

[@chrisgunsolley]

Is this a good lock to practice picking with 2 or 3 or 4 pin stacks? If so, what’s the best way to remove the extra springs and driver pins?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You would need to use a plug follower and tweezer. Check out my video on how to gut and Reassemble a lock

Very cool design and mechanism! Would also be interesting to see how the driver pins might be swapped out, as well.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It would be done the traditional way with a follower

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

Very clearly described, HLP, and what a neat design with that re-pinning window :) Maybe a few words on how you select the new key pins would be useful, especially for those who have never re-keyed anything before, and then where to get key blanks to fit specific locks like this one? Nice job, as always :)

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

That is a fair point. I just didn't want to make it too long

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

@@HelpfulLockPicker It's only too long if people start fast-forwarding or dropping off. And I haven't found myself doing that with your vids yet...! :)

Hi bud great vid 👍

[@ZiggityPow]

Where can I get an 83 core retaining screw without paying $5+ shipping for just a screw? Should either the cores or the coreless locks come with the screw and those from my supplier don't for some reason?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Send me an email and I can order you one the next time I order from the wholesaler

[@john.apricot]

Cool core

@@kenleckie2359 hi I checked out amazon ca can’t seem to find that brass round bodied padlock. Do you have a link for it on amazon ca ?

[@kenleckie2359]

Are u not looking for abus 83/55 ? The only lock I know of is a practice lock 4 cores to pick in a round cylinder called the revolver. Sold bye sparrows in Canada

[@demetriusboyle5165]

@@kenleckie2359 Thanks for that information I’ll check out the revolver exactly what I want.

Hey brother i bought what i thought was a brinks padlock today brand new it was in a sealed brinks package with the weatherproof coating over it but underneath is not a brinks its exactly like my hyper tough and picks open just as easy why would brinks ever let their name be used like that on such a cheap lock model 162-42051

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Not sure, lock companies often do funny things
