Great 101 vid Michael, just the vid we need to watch when we are starting with these cool locks. Very informative, picks up all the aspects that we often overlook without realizing when we talk about these locks, since we believe them obvious, but for which it starts are not. Is a reference video to start in the dimples picking. Great work buddy Thanks for sharing ;o))

[@Potti314]

Thank you very much - glad you think it will be helpful. Cheers my friend :-)

Excellent video and everything a beginner needs to know about dimple locks. Not sure about why Dimple locks have, often, more pins but I'd imagine it's to offset the fact that the available pin heights in a dimple lock are reduced i.e. Get a similar or increased amount of variation/security with a similar key length???

[@Potti314]

Thank you - your explanation meets the info of another viewer. Seems reasonable.

[@LockNoob]

Potti314 cool. Well, it seems logical even if it's wrong, lol

[@WilliamMancel]

Very nice video. I haven't picked a Dimple lock. Finding a decent dimple pick set can be difficult. It's definitely something I will get into eventually. 👍

[@Potti314]

Thank you. You should try it. The Spooxe set is very nice, also the Chinese one (from HUK) that I showed is not really bad.

[@firepicker5174]

Incredibile explains!, very good teacher! Thanks for the lesson!

[@Potti314]

Thanks mate.

[@CB-bl8sp]

I got the basic idea how dimple lock I did not get from anywhere else. Thanks!

Thank you - hope you'll have fun picking dimple locks.

What a great and helpful video! A wonderful overview of dimple locks... I was in Spain the first time I saw a dimple lock. I had been picking locks for a while at that point, but remember thinking "How in the world could someone pick that lock?".

[@Potti314]

Thank you very much :-) Spain has same great locks - no wonder that you got in contact with dimple locks there. I cannot help myself, wherever I go around, I always have to inspect (or at least give a quick look to) the locks that I pass by: Padlocks, door locks, bike locks,... Even my children sometimes draw my attention to special locks - crazy hobby ;-)

[@jrchicago9216]

Thanks Potti, Have a few keyed alike I need the keys for in US. The ex husband of a client took the keys to his former private office and vault. Now picking the ISEO dimple and decoding pins. The picks I have are too thick and I will adapt accordingly. Appreciate details.

[@Potti314]

Thanks for watching. Cannot help you, the locks are long gone.

[@NoctisMotus]

Good and thorough video. Nice work! Sweet picking as well, of course. :)

[@Potti314]

Thank you :-)

[@lsdlocks4673]

Poti314, As a beginner like me who never picked one of these locks, allow me to call your video The Missing Link.. Very pedagogic and educational. Great work. Thanks so much. :-)

[@Potti314]

Wow, very satisfying to read such a nice comment - thank you :-)

[@waddac2]

Great tutorial Michael. Will help many people out ;o))))

[@Potti314]

Thanks my friend.

[@FindAPick]

Very good tutorial. Can't wait to get my hands on a flag and lock like that.

[@Potti314]

Thank you, good luck and happy picking.

[@Leonslockpad]

very nice my friend great info👍😊😊😊😎😎😎👍😊

[@Potti314]

Thank you - hope it will help some newbies.

Standard pin tumbler locks like the Basi or BKS shown are available starting at 30 or even 27 mm. Dimple locks, too. The difference is the number of available cut depths. BKS has 9 different key pins available, most dimple locks around 4 to 6 (+/-). To allow for a sufficient number of differs, you need six pins. Thinner pins simply allow for a six-pinner to be built with the same cylinder lengths as a five pinner with 'thick' pins.

[@Potti314]

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain that so nicely. Makes totally sense. Great :-)

[@laurenarndt464]

What I like about this video is how you had Spooxe picks, but you used Banggood picks all the way through. The price for handcrafted picks may be better suited for locks with better tolerances. The Banggood picks are a fraction of the price of the Spooxe picks.

[@Potti314]

Yes, sometimes the cheapest pick will do the job. This time it worked out nicely with the Chinese tools ;-)

[@RuneInternational]

Change of subject. Do you have any idea where the Basi is ? Started thinking about it, after Bobby picked a basi from potti from march 2017. - thinking about the Basi taking over the lynx mission

[@Potti314]

It at Randy Perkins who is busy right now. Not lost, just stuck ;-)

[@charleslee534]

I Have Been Watching Your Wheel Combination Lock Videos And I Was Wondering What A False Gate Is?!

[@kyleatudub]

While watching this video, for the first time in my life, I finally picked open one of my dimple locks, twice!!! But, now I have a problem. The lock bolt rotated 180 degrees and I cannot pick it open or closed and the key disn't fit inside the key way any more.

[@Potti314]

Congratulations. If the plug is stuck at 180 degree, you have to push down the driver pins and turn the plug back. Bye.
