Souber ‘Magi Burr’ | Failed ERA Nightlatch | Gain Entry - Locksmith

[@garethhumphreys3687]

Hi Andy, on the strength of your recommendation on the MagiBurr I purchased on and a Dremel……WOW!! It is amazing, I’m on the final stages on becoming a locksmith , these videos and job hacks are so useful thank you. A video about your most used tools would be great, keep up the good work

[@brighton_locksmith]

Ah I’m glad you are finding them useful buddy. I’ll see what I can do regarding my most used tools when I get a bit of a break in jobs 👍🏼

[@mitchellw7118]

Literally just looking at one myself it's something I hadn't even considered before. Andy would you advise burring over drilling as now I've started I don't seem to go anything else!

[@PocketWomen]

That is one handy tool. Another successful day opening locks, cheers

[@brighton_locksmith]

It certainly is. And although it’s not my favourite way of gaining entry 😂 sometimes needs must! Thanks PW

[@matthewspenser1690]

Fantastic video!! Love the Magi-Burr, it’s perfect as a guaranteed back up plan. Have a great week Andy!!

[@brighton_locksmith]

Thanks Matthew. Absolutely buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

[@joekerr7187]

Good luck with the subscriptions Andy. There are so many great tips in your videos I'm sure you'll hit your target, and much more

[@brighton_locksmith]

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated 😊

[@paulwilson5729]

Had to use the burr on an Era auto dead locking night latch. The one with the security escutcheon. When I took apart to replace the cylinder found that it was faulty. No wonder nothing else worked

[@roysammons2445]

Well Done Andy, a tradesman doing his job well. Just goes to show how the right tools makes the job easy (sometimes easier).

[@brighton_locksmith]

Absolutely Roy. I don’t like to have to result in destructive entry but sometimes needs must! And like you say, the right tools makes it an easier job 😊

[@AndyMaclocklab]

Fantastic video I will give you a shout out for sure 👍😎

[@brighton_locksmith]

Thanks Andy. That would be amazing 😊🙏🏼

[@geraldskinner63]

Thanks Andy.. Yes I'm liking those Magi Bur bits! I left a link down in Gumby's comment to an Amazon knock off for your American Chums like us. Cheers Amigo!

[@brighton_locksmith]

It’s awesome mate 😊 Thank you

[@camronbay1]

Just picked up a set of the Maggi Burrs I will test in some locks.

[@LockworxIpswich]

Great video mate! Thinking on your feet to secure the nightlatch door, good work keep the videos coming

[@brighton_locksmith]

Thanks buddy 😊👍🏼

[@colingooch5353]

Great job have the Milwaukee tool for that but was it not pullable ?

[@brighton_locksmith]

Cheers Colin. I’ve never once got my plug pulled out the box in 6 years!! Still brand new

[@89Supanova]

Alright Andy! Thanks for the videos, just wanted to comment that I found an alternative to magi burrs in packs of 3 for 7 quid, just tested one out and it works fine. They are Sealey micro carbide burr, mcb002

[@brighton_locksmith]

Ah nice one. Thanks bud. I’ll take a look 😁

[@daveoleary5822]

Sick! Snapped my magi burr bit… opened 2 high security locks including a mil-t-lock integrator. And snapped on a piece of crap lock

[@brighton_locksmith]

Ah man!!! Gutted!! I guess they can’t last forever!! Great bit if kit though 👍🏼 I dropped my die grinder with a brand new bit in it which cost me £50 and it shattered! I’d only used that twice 😫 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@Cyprus.s]

Hi Dave, I’ve been looking into these for when I can’t pick the locks, for the Hugh security and mul-t-locks are there any specific ways you’d use the magi or is it just a matter of shaving down the pins? Thanks

[@Pauljay65]

Nice real vlog mate I’ve already ordered mine last week 50 & 60 mm They amazing for when u can’t pick the lock 🔐

[@brighton_locksmith]

Nice one mate. Yes an awesome bit of kit 👍🏼

[@dyfrigjames2229]

Awesome video, I haven’t got around the getting the magi burr yet, but it does look like a great tool to have. Once again thank you for the videos, always look forward to them 👍

[@brighton_locksmith]

Thanks buddy, much appreciated. Yes it’s an awesome bit of kit and definitely worth having 👍🏼

[@Model6780]

Any good on 3 star

[@brizolboy]

What model Dremel are you using mate?

[@gilessparkes2699]

Interesting video again, just picked up a project at work looking at options for us to gain entry in emergency situations, any advice most welom

[@brighton_locksmith]

Hi Giles. Unfortunately I am not able to disclose any information like that I’m afraid 👍🏼

[@NE-locksmith]

Do you need the specific dremel with the bit Andy? I have a 12 volt Bosch version and thinking of getting a few magi burrs

[@cardiffpicker1]

Will fit any 3mm rotary tool,,want around 25 000 rpm though

[@SouberTools]

If you have the Bosch 12V Rotary Tool with 3mm Collet you should be fine. Dremel is made by Bosch so, just set it to 20,000 rpm and pop your Magi-burr in the Collet. Cheers Paul Souber

[@cardiffpicker1]

@@SouberTools you should emphasise how important it is to not drop the rotary tool before you even get to the lock🤦‍♂️, the burrs don't particularly like it. Worked a treat in practice though, better order more than 1 next time🤣🤣

[@SouberTools]

@@cardiffpicker1 I'm glad you see the funny side of it. This grade of Carbide does not like impact. There's lots of different grades of carbide out there. This one has proven itself time again. The Master Kit of 8 Burrs is 10% cheaper than buying the burrs on their own.

[@cardiffpicker1]

@@SouberTools only bought 1 as a test, work brilliant so will definitely be ordering the multi pack.

[@matthewrichards552]

Well done Andy, I have the magi burr in the tool bag after your vid the other day, is it only the 3 star ABS that have the trap pins?

[@brighton_locksmith]

No mate. There are a few cylinders that have trap pins. But you’ll know straight away when you hit them. I’d just try and Magi Burr them too 😊

[@ImGumbyDangit]

Nice work as always. That Souber Magi Burr seems to be the cat's meow. I noticed Wendt carries them and has the Master Kit with 8 bits. I just wish shipping from Europe was a bit more cost effective. 846 Today - Should be no trouble to hit 1K by end April.

[@SouberTools]

I think that all the usual distributors have the Magi Burr Master Kit.......Aldridge, JMA, Duffells, Nigel Rose, Keyprint & Davenports all stock them. Next day delivery usually !!

[@ImGumbyDangit]

@@SouberTools thx Paul.

[@brighton_locksmith]

Thanks Gumby. Yeah the Magi Burr is fantastic and a great addition to the tool kit 👌🏼

[@garyleslie5110]

Are the 1 stars notoriously hard to pick ? Ave got a few to practice on and tbh it’s been a night mare and struggling big time

[@brighton_locksmith]

Definitely harder than a standard and you would expect, however some will pick easier than others bud Keep practicing mate, I’m sure you’ll get there 👍🏼

[@khiggins7231]

6:11 Failed ERA BS nightlatch ! An internal component breaks in these nightlatches and locks the nightlatch so that even from the inside the handle will not retract the latch . There are very few options to gain entry if you only have access from the front. The nightlatch fixing plate on his BS nightlatch is FULLY protected with a hardened steel plate and is not like the non BS version. After removal of cylinder a standard HSS hole saw or drill bit will not penetrate the back plate to allow access to the nightlatch to manipulate. I discovered this myself ! Only a TCT hole saw or bit will penetrate the steel . You obviously punched off the nightlatch. This was okay as there was a concrete floor but if this was residential with a wooden or tiled floor then this wouldn’t have been an option and you would have to drill through the rear. This is an awkward job with the extra expense of having to use TCT holesaw or bits ? I keep a an old sample of one of these in the van for reference when I get called out to one so I know exactly where to drill to manipulate it open.

[@brighton_locksmith]

Thanks buddy. Very informative. Keeping an old night latch on the van is a great idea 👍🏼 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@steadysteadyed]

Can you tell me more about Gav’s snub mouse ?

[@brighton_locksmith]

Hi Eddie. It’s a tool designed for when the snib drops on a night latch and there is no letterbox to use the LBT on. The only way to overcome this (other than air wedging which will not always work!) is to drill the cylinder out and attempt to drill another hole in the back plate of the lock to manipulate the snib. Gavs snib mouse works as a template to drill the cylinder screws and the backplate of the night latch 👍🏼 You can purchase it here ⬇️ And if you used the code LOCKSWOOD10 you will receive 10% discount: www.abbeylocks.co.uk/product/gavin-jeffries-snib-mouse/

[@steadysteadyed]

Champion. I’ve had this a few times but it’s always hit and miss getting to the snub. I’ll order one now. Cheers again.

[@onegreek]

The ABS euro locks have a Anti Bump pin in pin so will not bump. Good video 👍

[@cardiffpicker1]

Lots of locks with anti bump pins will bump

[@brighton_locksmith]

Thanks buddy

[@brighton_locksmith]

@@cardiffpicker1 I’d not come across one of these in the field before and knew that some anti bump cylinders would still bump so thought I’d give it a go anyway. This was a bugger though 😂

[@MarkGraingerLocksmith]

Haha, this will be ongoing I think, will he? won't he? 😂

[@brighton_locksmith]

Hahaha went to another dropped snib late last night Mark, but they had a letterbox 😂😂

[@MarkGraingerLocksmith]

@@brighton_locksmith the saga continues.. 🤣

[@lambertomidolini8027]

Trying to buy magi burr, you can Only buy from overseas.

[@brighton_locksmith]

All the main UK suppliers stock them mate 👍🏼

[@Jaaammmbbbooo]

I wonder if one day they will come up with a way to lock your door knowing it can't be broken into. Any crack head with a Dremel can get entry to basically any house?!

[@brighton_locksmith]

Unless they’re on crack at the time 😂 That’s something I’d like to watch on KZbin 😂😂
