Jos Weyers final round 2010 SSDev impression championships

23 may Hamburg Germany, the final round (of six) in the German open championships impressions Technik. The trick is to open a lock by filing a blank key to the correct depth without knowing what these depths are.
This opening is a new record, but as I opened just five out of six locks in an average of 2 min 20 sec per lock, I came in third.
Can't wait till the Dutch open in Sneek to try to win back the trophy.

@desenxuxator : the first file-action is for making a "11111" from a uncut (non-prepared) blank key. After some training you know where to file and how deep to get to the 1's. After that you have to read the marks. So no, no pre-made keys or combo's were used. (with all the judges around this would be impossible, let alone non-sportmens-like)

Amazing work.

very very impressive.

[@DSSlocksmiths]

Ok, that's just incredible. That's about 60 times faster than I can do it. Nice one Jos.

[@josweyers]

The "sideway" lock is not really a lock, it has no core, pins or springs inside. It's just used as a spacer, holding the other lock in place. A piece of plastic would probably also do the trick.

WOW. truly impressive

[@josweyers]

@urbantig : those are two Manfrotto superclamps. An idea by JohnSan. They work perfectly.

[@jacknco]

Ok I should have written "lock shaped object" :D Thanks, I was wondering if it had some special use. Guess that's not the secret reason why you are so good at this then :D :D

[@RobertG595]

Nice! Why do you put the lock on top of another, sideways positioned cylinder in the vise?

[@joshpadgett7065]

hey , do you have any videos or tips on impressioning gm sidebar locks?...I hear its possible

[@overcheats4518]

toools !!

[@desenxuxator]

tricky. He used a pre-made key. He stared without firstly putting the key. Or may be he knows by memory.
