A pretty cool catch from the flea marked; an ELCA euro lock for just 1 EUR and 50 Cents with a very funny bitting on the key. The lock just looks like an EVVA and picking it open the first time took me a bit... But much more interesting than the pins is the cam mechanism that tricked me a bit ;-)

The centre part of that lock really is actually quite clever, & probably a very inexpensive additional security measures, very interesting. Very enjoyable video my friend. Have a great week.

Cheers buddy and thank you for watching. I think the cam mechanism was designed to engage one plug at a time with the cam. In order to operate the lock, to open a door, etc., you would need to stick in a flat piece anyway to cause the cam to turn along.

Very cool Potti :). These flea market locks can have some surprises ;D. The cam mechanism is quite a nice feature :), awesome that you figured it out and did explain it nicely as always :) 👍. Something new learned 😃. Have a nice week buddy :) 😊✌👋🦊.

Thanks buddy - I was really surprised by the behavior and even more that the pins didn't reflect it. Glad that I reassembled it again with the spring loaded connection piece in place. Have a good one mate :-)

One of the more interesting things about euro locks is all the amazing technologies lock makers have managed to cram into that little cam. Just when you think you've seen every way to couple two opposing cylinders another method appears.
@Potti3145 жыл бұрын
Very true - seems that there a many, many systems on the market for the cam to interact with the plug. Nice to explore them with their different features.

Very interesting cam mechanism, do you think that makes it more secure? Or is it like the Schlage Everest check pin where once you know about it it no longer makes it harder?
@Potti3145 жыл бұрын
To open a door etc. you would need to cause the cam to turn (not just the plug). To do so some object needs to be inserted anyway - check here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGLXdoGOibKAna8

Great picking! So the pins on the cam, kept it from opening fully?

Thank you - well, the cross end of the spring loaded connection element engaged with the came at 90° and caused the plug to stop.
