Great video! Nice hand work. Two things: 1. you need three times as much lighting; 2. you need to widen your frame to where the action fills no more than half the viewing area to cut back on motion-sickness.

I appreciate you support and constructive criticism, I am under no false pretences about my setup and agree that it could be twice as good as it is, however I am limited to using what I have, where I am, and at the moment I am limited to a small windowsill, a cheap camera, and a cheap lighting setup. Although my setup is far from ideal I believe strongly that the content is most important. Rest assured that I do have plans to adapt and improve, and work on the knowledge that I have gained over these past six years, believe it or not this is an improvement from where I started! Take care.

Very well done! Now it makes so much more sense. I just picked up one of these in a padlock and wondered how it worked exactly. I did run a half diamond inside to check it out but stopped there. I do wonder what the bible has in it. I will check back for more on this lock for sure. Thanks you for this!
@HobbyPicker4 жыл бұрын
Dusty, glad you found the video informative! I did actually show what was inside the bible, it was just two drilled chambers with spring loaded pins that push against the core, there are shallow grooves on the bottom of the core which these 'click' into, to help you know what point to remove the key, these will be less useful in the padlocks where there is a limited range of rotation anyway. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you for the look inside this lock. It makes me want to 3D print keys using the key code. Bonus points for writing some OpenSCAD code where the key code is entered at the top as a variable and it outputs the STL file that could be used with structural resin on an MSLA printer.
@HobbyPicker4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for stopping by, it's fairly unlikely that this is going to become a popular way of duplicating keys, because the precision required is so high and the technology is expensive, but I'd still be interested to see if someone would be successful at doing this.
@Liberty4Ever4 жыл бұрын
@@HobbyPicker - I was referring to getting a few samples of keys and their key codes, measuring the keys, and trying to decode the codes to determine the bitting. Until not long ago, resin based 3D printers were expensive, using an ultraviolet laser to cure the resin, and the cured resin was non-structural, only good for visual prototypes and not functional prototypes. Not any more. There are US$209 MSLA 3D printers that use UV LEDs to produce the light that's masked by an LCD from a large cell phone. The resolution is excellent, and the new resins, even some of the cheaper resins, are very structural. Not as structural as 3D printed metal (very cool) but easily strong enough to use as a stealth key. As if I don't already have enough projects!
@Pyrolock4 жыл бұрын
Looks to me that there are 3 depths of cut, seemingly verified by 2 false gates with 1 true gate. So with 14 "swing sliders" ; 3 to power of 14 = 4,782,969 theoretical possible key combos, assuming no MACS violations and unfavorable bittings. Impressive.

I just watched this after seeing your FB post about seeing an oval cylinder, they are the same, the core is actually two pieces with the stack of wafers the spin on a center shaft, front is silver 3d metal, back is brass. Great video, I may take mine apart again but only as far as the side bars and springs. Thanks for the euro lock view. Oh the pick you were using to show wafers is almost what I was thinking, a dimple lock flag pick but shaft is no more tall than wide, "round" should be good.

Thanks for the sub-disassembly -- I also have a 1/2 Euro and haven't pulled it apart, yet. I wonder if you, or anyone else has dared to pull the plug apart a bit more? What is that plate on the bottom of the plug and how does it come off? I would suppose the plate retains the springs for the "swinging sliders?", (or the steel discs as Stealth Key calls them). I also see the "axle shaft" from the rear view of the plug, that obviously is the rotational axis for the "swinging sliders". AND, Yes, those false gates do look rather intimidating, with that "hump" requiring counter rotation of the plug to get past. Does look pickable with perhaps some "float picking" (absolute core control) and learning where the false gates are.
@HobbyPicker4 жыл бұрын
The plate on the bottom appears to be attached to the lock face, I don't really know how it comes apart, and don't really want to ruin the lock to find out, but I can confirm that the discs are supported by that central spindle, but I can't see an obvious way of removing that spindle and don't really want a shower of discs!

@HobbyPicker4 жыл бұрын
Nearly right, there are actually 7 disks on each side, for a total of 14, but bearing in mind that the disks on each side are responsible for controlling the sidebar on the opposite side, so essentially there are two different locks in one! Thanks for stopping by.
@Vessekx4 жыл бұрын
Hobby Picker, dang. And on another look, it appears that each of the disks has a little raised bit to lift the bars a bit each time you rotate one into position, preventing a set (false or otherwise) from ‘sticking’ as you try to pick it. Almost like you’d need forward/backward tension to keep the disks from slipping back into their neutral position. That’s got to be a *bear* to pick.
