How a Basic American House Lock Works

[@observersnt]

Logical, clear speech, superb graphics, no background music, no one trying to be a comedian, no superfluous wordage, a really excellent video. Excellent communicator.

Interested in locksport for the last year. Your explanations and visuals are the first clear understanding of what’s going on in a lock I’ve seen. Thanks for the info, well done👍

[@Bugkiller991]

Animation and explanation well done. Learned more hear in 4 minutes than watching hours of people just pick locks. Hope to see more.

This is the very first video I’ve watched in an effort to learn how locks work. I appreciate you gifting us with the time it takes to make these videos, I appreciate that you want to teach us about locks, and I also appreciate the illustrations you’ve provided. From the heart, a meaningful Thank you. Because I am a visual learner like many others, it would be helpful for our learning style if you also labeled the parts of the lock when telling us their names. Seeing it in print with an illustration goes a long way in cementing this information in our brains. Without that, I have to go back and watch the video many, many times, while also capturing a screen shot of the illustration to print off and then label it myself. While this would be helpful, I do realize the time involved to do such a request. Rather than calling it a request, which makes me uncomfortable, I will call it a suggestion to consider for future videos. Again, many thanks for your well thought out videos on this subject. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

This has been a joy to learn how to think inside of a lock like a puzzle. Job well done.

Really great animation and very well explained👌 Looking forward to your next videos👍😀✌️

Even though there are numerically many thousands of combinations, I have noticed that because of the desire to not make them so easy to pick there seems to be a common biting pattern, where for example the last pin(s) can be a good deal higher than one of the preceding ones so the picker would have trouble not over setting a previous pin to get the last pin set, etc.

this is really well done! Thank you.

[@asvalias]

Well done mate! Well explained and animation is good. Thanks!

[@dustynwindy]

Great Intro video. I'd love to see more of this.

[@Javy8a]

Super Content!!! At least for me, 3D instruction has always helped me to better comprehend most anything. LL, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@Goobergamin]

Im gonna pick all the locks and just leave a note saying im always watching

[@awlonghurst]

Thank you for the clear and simple explanation. I've learnt something. How do Euro cylinders work please?

[@WJS774]

I'm pretty sure they work exactly the same way, just the body of the lock is a different shape.

[@EdocDab]

Nice clear animation 👍

[@RookKnight]

Fantastic animation 👍😎🔓 would definitely like to see more

[@ashleymarie7452]

Excellent. Thanks!

[@JustJanitor]

Good video. Thank you again

[@marcel9568]

2:25 what is blocking? I don’t see the lines on the pins.

[@LRM12o8]

2nd and 3rd pin (from left to right). If you look closely you can see the line separating driver pin and key pin above the (red) sheer line on pin 2 and below the sheer line on pin 3 (in the middle)

[@BD90..]

Very helpful

[@vichitrarakavelu7297]

Good info bro...hope to see more in future...

[@LRM12o8]

About the possible combinations: You could have different spacing between the pins on different models, which would add another layer of combination. Is that something that's generally done, or is there a standard for the space between pins?

[@2cjappy]

Your explanation are clear but try making the animation colors more sharp.

[@Aqua-28Purpz]

LOL YOU JOKING RIGHT?

[@WJS774]

Worth noting that the relatively low number of possible codes isn't really a problem since nobody is going to try their key in tens of thousands of doors to find one that matches.

[@chriscapune7873]

Great video!!! 👍🐈👍👏🐾😷

[@zinoucn8057]

Thnks bro sooo helpful

[@oi23origin]

[@MilesProwerTailsFox]

I am from America, & where I live there are no locks like that in the houses. Maybe they should know that America is a continent, not a country. sorry, no sorry.
