thanks a lot for this simple but genious idea to test the picks in a disassembled lock! i've just put in my longest & shortest keypins to validate it depends on my skills and not my tools, wich won't allow me to open my BKS's ... and to be sure, wich work helps a lot with these little beasts, instead of switching tools all the time ;)

That was an awesome video Potti. Very well explained my friend. I believe I'll be getting a couple of these very soon from The One in Germany. Now I have a great understanding on them. Thanks brother. 😎

Nice picking and explanation. A great video for showing new and intermediate pickers different approaches to a hard lock. Tallan used a ridiculously deep hook on his latest vid too :-) have you tried the ssdev picks on this?
@Potti3146 жыл бұрын
Thank you. Yes, I tried the Sparrows but the reach is not good enough for the 2rd pin.

As a total noob, my end goal is to pick a euro cylinder. This video is the clearest explanation I have found where it explained why each pick was suitable and how to use each pick differently in the paracentric warding. Thank you so much.

@@Potti314 For me, with the Multipick cutaway practise lock (which is a very nice BKS PZ), the medium Sparrows SSDeV hook (from the set of three) works using your third method all along. (I can do the whole lock using only that pick.) Admittedly, mine has the deep cut in 3, protecting two high cuts in 4 and 5. The "downside" of that particular pick is the very pointy tip, so there's some slipping involved. ;) But it's a very pleasant surprise to see what that profile can do in locks like that. It may however not work beyond 5 or 6 pins tops because of the growing shank height towards the handle.

I like your scientific approach my friend. Figuring out which pick to use by checking the core was an excellent tip. I remember watching the neighbors shed being locked video. Great explanation of what was happening with the lock. 👏👍😁

Thank you. This approach lets me learn the technique - but to pick a lock in the field by just feeling is another thing.

Great analisys of one of the coolest keyway I got, brilliant. Like you, I spent a lot of time strugling with two BKS I own. the key way looks like a yale, but it isn´t, is an evil keyway, very restrictive, I love its simplicity ;o)) Very well done my friend, I will check my pick arsenal and make a analisys like you to defeat these locks, I will also do it with the Asec (I hate them LOL). Thanks for the cool vid and, of course, great picking my friend ;o)))

Thanks a lot buddy. BKS are tough locks. Yes, keyway is more paracentric and thinner. Good luck with your lock my friend.

Awesome video Pottie. That was perfect. A play by play of why it took 5+ hours picking to get it. And it feeling like total luck to get it the first time. But now is just a pick because of deductive reasoning. Lol Just a perfect bitting VS binding order as well. That particular lock would compete with a higher security locks with crap bitting. Lol Thanks for sharing buddy
@Potti3146 жыл бұрын
Thank you - yes, prefect binding order, bitting and keyway. This type of analysis will hopefully educate me for other locks of this kind. But picking such a lock blind is another category for me.

Many thanks for the very educational video! The paracentric keyway created the pin 4 overset trap? I’m a noob to this ... also the front pins required a third type of pick ... that has to be the most challenging lock I’ve seen so far! Question was that a stock lock?
@Potti3146 жыл бұрын
Thank you. Yes, the fourth pin is easily overset when attempting to set #5. Imagine that you usually don't know the bitting in advance and have to deduce all this by feeling. The thing with the front pins is that when going sideways I cannot apply enough force to set the spools without resetting other pins - so I like to go straight on these. And yes, this is a standard (stock) lock.
