How to Pick a Tubular Lock (Basics)

[@B20C0]

Thank you so much for this! The guy who rented my apartment before me left a cheap wall mounted safe with an electronic lock and a backup tubular lock and I wanted to remove it because I needed the space. And I wasn't very keen on ripping the whole wall out. Got the exact same pick as you and thanks to your tutorial it worked!

[@deliaingham2527]

Great instructional video! The batteries died in my new safe BEFORE I used it once, even the keys were still inside. My son bought me the lock picks and I found your video. Within 5 minutes the safe was open. Thank you.

Yeah the locks that i can think off on top off my head is (cross locks, tublar locks, pin tumbler locks, wafer locks, warded locks, leaver locks)

This really worked! Thanks. I bought the aame Jinese kit, but it didnt jave any english instructions. This video saved me a hassel.

@@hyperhektor7733 You got a used machine in new condition? Lol that's not confusing at all.

[@hyperhektor7733]

​@@jeffreyarena6199 seems you are new to the topic of buying used items. Used means just it had a pre-owner and says little about the condition the item is in (mechanical/electrical wear of component=runtime, optical appearance=scratches /dirt, functionality=fully, or minor/big problem/ defective, also there are things like age after purchase or things like "old-new in stock , meaning older items never sold=new" perfect for tools) The Machine i got was new condition meaning no optical problems looked like new, mechanical very little runtime which i confirm now after 5 years its still working.

[@joeKisonue]

I got the HUK Chinese kit. $32. Your video got me trained up in about 3 minutes. I tightened all the handle set screws and wrote the color/size under each tool. 7.0,7.5,7.8 and then removed all the silicone tension rings from the outside. I then installed a white silicone band of the same size ( Amazon, so useful) then one ring, then band,ring,band. This was the perfect amount of resistance and retention and made opening the practice lock far more repeatable 9/10. I will have to test and verify it's good on all metal locks too. Thanks for the video 🔐🔨🩺

[@Ryan-wu7rd]

Can u send a ljnk to the white silicone band and everything else ?

[@jar768jake]

After reading this comment, I realized my issue. The bands that are included with the picks don't provide enough resistance. Because of this, the spring loaded pins were pushing the levers farther than they needed to go. I laterally grabbed generic rubber bands from the junk drawer and looped them around the pick right over the levers, until finally, after about 4 of them, it was finally working the way he showed in the video. Thank you.

[@martinboyd447]

Dude, this video is stellar. Great explanation. Helpful camera angles. Love it!

I started lockpicking as a hobby that turned out to be really useful to have a set and the skill so I kept going with it and got a car break in kit and a tubular set now I just need to find some locks to practice with already helped 4 people with the car kit too

[@cowbdave99]

I have been watching the lock picking lawyer for years but you explain in detail the mechanism and how it works so much better good video

Wait a second.....Does that mean all tubular locks with no extra shielding or some security measures can all be opened by impression tools in seconds? DAMN! They are everywhere here!

Those tubular lock picks are a game changer. Can't believe you can get a set of 3 for less than $40.

Worked as you instructed by the 1st method of resetting the collar a couple times and having 5 or 6 orings to keep the legs in place.

I bought those rocks and now you show me how to open the lock thank you

[@iamme6374]

I understand this video is over two years old, but for the price of this tool is still killer. I hope you are still checking messages this far back. Will the 7 pin HUK tubular pick work on a misaligned tubular lock? I have not been asked to work on one yet, but I’m starting to notice them while I’m out with the family. Thank you kindly for your input.

[@krism2649]

Thank you for this video. I have tried countless times to open a bike battery case with a Huk pick, but cannot open it. Any other tips?

[@kittytrail]

make sure you got the HUK tools with the replaceable tension bar, bar hole in the recessed part and set screw as they also sell a version without it and this one cannot open most tubular locks unless you install the tension bar yourself by drilling and taping. 😒

[@Xcelor8]

At first it didn't seem like it was going to go, and the heckling from the wife wasn't going to be worth it, but then it just went, pretty easily too. Neat! Thanks for the video it helped me get into my safe where the batteries faded and the code wouldn't work anymore, nor the default code from factory...

[@rayhastings2934]

What do you do if the lock gets stuck in the unlock position, Do you still line up arrow with the center or do you line it up with where its turned too?

[@Syrus54]

What about 6pin vending machine locks???

[@Mr_H_S_T]

If I understand this correctly you could vary the springs or driver pins to prevent an easy pick with the tubular lockpick but after the attacker picked it once conventionally and only did a 1/16 turn they could then impression their tool before completing the turn... is there a way to give the keyway a spring to jump back a click in case the attacker loosens keyway tension?

[@ofekpearl]

Please do one for sliders and another for disc detainer locks!

[@spencerarnold7653]

How do you know how many pins and cylinder size?

[@ethanbaylis5204]

My tension bar doesn’t sit flush with the pick, is there any reason for this ?

[@bombproofbushcraft]

You're the 10th YT channel I've seen using the lock pick tool. I ordered them I can't get it to work. It won't open the safe, won't open a cheap cabinet I have for storing paint and kick knacks, it won't open the tool box or any other lock I have that is tubular. Every channel literally shows just sticking it in and a little wiggle and done. Tried with 7 tensioning bands down to 0 tensioning bands. Either I am missing something or I have a defective set. Any hints or tricks on the use of the lockpick set?

When doing the single pin pick do you have to pick the lock to relock it

My friend bought a business that has a pool table. The keys were never provided for it, so I might try this to see if I can open the coin mechanism for her and see if there are any coins still in it

[@simonlinser8286]

My buddy got a hold of a blank, and used some weird little Bobby pins or maybe they were like pieces of some street sweeper bristles, and then those tiny rubber bands girls use for their hair when they dye it or braid it, so the little shims were on the outside and the rubber band held them in place. He said it worked

[@Petertronic]

Used it to open the coin door on my own arcade machine, but it took about 30 tries.

[@MindKontrolleProject]

How do you transfer the 7 pins from the tool (that opened the lock) to a depth code on a tubular key cutter for a blank key?

[@davidjardine4387]

Wherecan you buy see threw locks for practising?

[@xxomega702buzzalini8]

Don't buy clear locks. Practice on master locks or cheap stuff from hardware stores. Real locks are not clear and you need to practice on the feel and how much tenstion you applt to the tension tool.

[@JakeArnet]

Amazon is a good place.. but yeah, as said above you should practice on cheap locks to get the real world feeling.

[@GarthGoldberg]

Very good explanation of general lock picking techniques.

[@donaldduck7531]

What works on the ace 2btubular?????

[@scottmorgan9959]

How do you remove the tension pin?

[@michaelwest7649]

There is a set screw hidden under one of those sliders. (It's on opposite side of tension pin). Loosen and then pull up the pin.

[@VikOlliver]

So what do you do to tubular locks that don't have a tensioning notch?

[@xSchattenfluchx]

There HAS to be a way to tension the lock otherwise the key couldn't turn it either! Lock underneath the outer shielding ring, chances are there's a second ring underneath with the same cutout that turns/tensions the cylinder.

[@purplecataudio513]

do these work on kensington locks? i tried for an hour with no success

[@mfoco1]

I bought those impression tools for a lock I need to pick, but the lock's slot for the locator pin seems too small (or the tool's pin on the inside is too big) so the tool won't go in.

[@nathantrejo6196]

Mine was the same. I filed down the insert pin to half the width so it sits closer to the edge. After that it worked perfectly

[@dayman888]

my tubular lock pick is smaller than the one that you show. How do I find the measurements of the lock so that I can find a key that would fit it?

[@Diazepamber]

I have an esd lock and the springs are way too strong for my huck so I ordered the mantis tension tool to hand pick it, and it's difficult to hold the tension and press the pins down. I'm using a sewing needle and it's slippery.. any advice?

[@whotusay750]

Spot on 👍

[@pamthevan7340]

Just a thought - but if you have to single pick a tubular lock how about doing the first fraction of a turn once you've achieved the first pick then inserting the tool. I've not tried it as I haven't a lock to practice on right now - but in theory I'd suggest the tool will take the correct pattern and if you lock the tool's pins in place you'd avoid having to re-pick those extra times?

[@Subpilot]

The idea is to pick it without a tool.

[@PeterMcConnell]

Once it begins to move roll up a piece of paper to fit in the key way push in and turn and you will not have to repick lock

[@Uberlord1337]

Thank you for this video! I have the same tools and hadn't been able to open up the practice lock that it came with until I saw you talk about the posts! While the ones included were too long for mine, prob just inconsistent tooling but they're cheap tools, I clipped a bobby pin and that fit perfect and I was able to get it work!

[@J.E.Taylor]

I know this is an old message but maybe someone else will read this. There is a set screw under one of the pick pins 180 degrees from where that hole is for the tension pin. You slide the pick pin back to expose that screw. Loosen it, slide the tension pin in, then tighten the set screw.
