i've just begun picking, and while i'm doing well with basic master padlock i'm now fighting with the sparrows revolver and an Abus 65/50. I've become fascinated with all the different kind of lock out there and this video just made it way more fascinating. Thank you this is going right at the top of my favorite bar for easy reference!

Thank you 😊

Who would have thought that a hour long KZbin video would keep me so captivated. I hate to think how long this took you to film. This could be considered as the lock pickers "Bible" for a beginner. Great job.

A very useful skill to have in an emergency. I watched a few lock picking lawyer videos years ago and tried picking the master lock on my gun safe i had at the time with nothing more than a couple hair pins, had the lock open in less than 60 seconds and was genuinely shocked considering i had never picked a lock before. Ive never bought master locks since

This video has just raised the bar for all other beginners lockpicking tutorials. I’ve been watching lock picking videos for many years and I still struggle. I have realised where I’ve been going wrong watching this video lol Your explanation & demonstrations are fantastic. This is a perfect video to watch over & over again and you will find things you missed on previous watchers lol This must have taken you a very long time. Thank you very much for making this awesome video. I love all of your videos, they are always fascinating.

Thank you, Lock Noob. This is by far the best video for any beginner in lock picking. I had (he said whilst blushing) often wondered how some tools are being used correctly and how do I recognise without a key, what sort of lock I'm facing. You have answered all my questions in a way that is easy-to-understand. Since yesterday, I have watched it three times. There is just so much information. Thanks again, Lock Noob.

[@jackslaughter3233]

This is such an engaging, informative and well made introduction to lock picking. You're a natural teacher, thank you very much for taking the time to help.

[@arrivingarriving5166]

I'm neither a newbie nor a pro, but can honestly say this is the best, most informative lock-picking video I've ever seen, I wish it had been around when I was starting out as it's an invaluable source of information - and not just for newbies either! Thank you!

[@MrH2S]

🙂 I agree, this is one of the best informative videos I seen, sure I will return to it.. Keep picking and enjoying the puzzles of opening locks.. Have a great day.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

49:15 The important thing to tell here to the beginners is that you don't apply heavy pressure and try to force counter-rotation with the pick. Instead, you should apply constant pressure to the pin and *carefully release tension* to see if that gets the pin moving. The real logic is to detect the binding pin with the pick, apply some pressure to the pin (basically enough to push the spring for that pin but not move the whole core) and the release the tension enough that the binding doesn't prevent the pin from moving. This accomplishes two things: (1) you don't break picks while trying to force the pins with heavy tension and (2) you can use really heavy tension to make sure you can find a binding pin and not just some crap in the lock. It would be nice to learn this technique from the start so it might be worth mentioning it for the most simple pin tumbler lock at the start of the video, too.

[@bikkies]

I love the explanation of disc detainers. I've reached a certain level of incompetence with conventional pin tumblers but I've never even tried to pick a disc detainer lock (or other styles such as a dimple lock). I wanted to get to a suitably hopeless level with one lock style before learning how to be useless with other types. This video makes me think I might now be ready to make a mess of a wider range! Thank you.

[@tyrotrainer765]

This is a superb video and the disc detainer was covered really well. But the definitive DD lock video was made by Bosnian Bill, it is a masterpiece. Search YT on Bosnian Bill disk detainer lock.

[@deepsy2k]

So far the best tutorial videos I found in YT that also go in-depth about the mechanism of each lock were from Devian Ollam's channel But this video surpasses all of these by so many levels, I've never seen such an extensive video with so many cutouts to show how each type of lock exactly works Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

This video is a life-saviour (or at least a hobby-saviour! I decided to start lock-picking only four days ago but the first lock I tried I found super-easy - within two hours, I learnt how to to open it in just 1-2 seconds - so I tried the next one, a tumbler lock, and I've been at for the rest of those four days now. I could open it up by sheer luck every once in a while but I couldn't find a reliable technique. But here I am, 7 minutes into this video and trying that motion and it always works! I'm so happy, I was getting really frustrated!)

In Russia there are a lot of lever locks with two-sided keys and wide horizontal keyway. I believe it can be picked same way, but not sure.

[@michaelkeely2621]

Now let's see a video on how to pick a medeco lock.... Lol. I'm sure there's a way but when I was a locksmith they were guaranteed unpickable. I got to mess with some of them and learner how they worked well enough to be able to rekey some of them but they always had those certain locks that they sold that you couldn't even take them apart. If you lost the key you sent the lock or cylinder to them and they sent you a new one (for a fee of course). If the lock was on something you had to destroy it. On the Marine Corp. base my dad worked on they used medeco locks on the ammo bunkers. If the key gets lost they had to cut the doors off to gain access. Apparently it was a big ordeal to use TORCHS to cut doors off of live ammo bunkers cause there sure ended up being alot of people involved..... It only happened once that I know of while my father worked on base.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Great video overall! I wish the example disk from the disk detainer lock would have had at least one false gate so you could have explained why those should exist in every disk detainer lock. Of course, many cheap disk detainer locks are missing false gates because manufacturers just don't care about lock security.

The Apron lock at the end had false gates on it, to be able to work out the lock before you had finished explaining it plus to look how you could make the star key lock a little harder to do would be to only have certain locking gate so all four front pins need to be lifted first as if the key is in before the other pins bind...
