Nice to see the progression. I’ve just purchased my first lock picking set (sparrow) and euro locks would be easier to practice on as I live in Norway and they would be cheaper to acquire.

Your videos are very helpful for beginners. Thank you so much!

Just purchased my first beginners set, waiting for delivery 🤔got bored two months ago and got hooked on watching your Videos. Got hooked on the hobie and made a very very low grade single pick and tension bar.. So far 4 out of 5 locks I've acquired I've managed to pick. 3 had key's 🤷🏼‍♂️ unfortunately/fortunately the one I can't get YET😉 I lock the four locks back to and start the next Day. Thank you for my new hobie

I am glad I am not the only person struggling to open euro locks your picking mimics mine to a tee, Guess I must be over setting something. However on the upside I do get my locks for free.

Today I brought my first used Euro lock to practice on. This video will certainly help me. Update, day 6, still cannot do it.

I just got my first set of picks today and can't SPP the cheapest lock that I own. Up until now I've been using paperclips... Anyway, nice of you to post this video and show that no man is born with these skills.

6:18am I am almost ready to head off to work when my phone pings. My friend had been on an early bike ride and arriving home realised he had lost his front door key. His text asked if I had his spare key. Yes I said and headed to his which was only 6 mins away. On arrival I realised the key didn't fit, it was a key to an earlier euro lock which he had changed. Out came the jacknife and 15 seconds later the door was open. Thankfully a snake rake did the job easily as I didn't have time to try spp. He was amazed and couldn't believe after only 4 months of playing with locks I was able to open his door. Shhhhhh he thinks I am amazing, it would appear his front door lock ain't that good. I did say if he ever has difficulty with his piggy bank to give me a call. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 P.S. He now has several spare keys.

Great video mate couple questions 1 - does it matter which way you put pressure 2- are they like cars ? If springy leave them? 3- how do you know if your in 1,2,3 or 4 ?? Any advice please would be greatful 👍

Back when you found euros hard....the actual noob days...

Well i started watching you like a month ago while i was in a dark depresive state, and i wanted to get into this type of sport. Also helps that i work in a copy key center, and wanted to learn more about this and im really enthusiastic. 😂😂 Also bought the multipick ELITE LOCK NOOB 27 piece set 0.5 mm. Your videos are high quality and did help me to learn alot, so keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing the knowledge. Sorry if any mistakes where made, in this comment but i live in Romania, and english is not my native language.

You have come a long way 🎉❤😊

I live in the UK and the standard lock that is upside down like that and it's a pain in the ass but such a good way to learn how to pick and I've now been able to help friends and family get into their house with their euro-locks which in UK are always upside-down so pins are at the bottom

7:01 Just turn CC on :()

I live in Germany and I find it way harder to pick the European locks with the pins down like the are mounted. I find it easier to pick with the pins up like locks in the USA.

That was a very informative tutorial doc thanks

This must have been one of your first vids,well done,billbo.

Thanks for making these videos! Do all of these euro cylinders have overmilling or countermilling? The abus c83 is the only one I managed to get an open on becuase of the spool pins and the good feedback. That happened once and then never again 😂 I tried to open 8 cylinders including japanese ones and many of them have pins that get stuck. I tried to look into float picking to set those pins, which kind of helped pick those pins but I couldn't get an open.

I noticed the cam turned when you finally picked it. How would the cam turn with no key inside the core to engage the butterfly for that side ?? Ironically, I picked a Yale myself and was able to use my finger to push on the cam instead of using a tension tool...but I don't know how it could've worked, yet it did :)))

I am having trouble picking a similar lock that has a deep cut number 2 and 4 pin. I have just ordered some steeper picks to try and get over the number 4 so that I can set the 5 and 6 deep enough as I dont think I am. When I untension the lock I hear some pins click back down so I think they were set correctly but good lord its frustrating! I will get there though. Great vid.

I once bought a ludicrously cheap Yale euro cylinder from B&Q. Apparently a shoplifter had ripped it out of it's packaging but got stopped before they left. As B&Q didn't know exactly what lock it was they just bagged up all the pieces and dumped this brand new name brand lock in the "reduced" section for £3 !!! (Couldn't pass THAT up could I). It was only after I got it home and started trying to pick it that it dawned on me that a shoplifter isn't going to be nicking something from the bottom of the range are they. This thing was feckin' impossible !!!! Its a 6 pin lock that had spools in ALL of them. It also has a bitch of a keyway with a couple of tiny ledges in the profile that are half way up the travel of the pins. My picks hang up on these constantly and made this a total impossible lock for me to pick. On top of all that, the bitting was evil. In the end I just chopped it into 2, Yanked the core from one, Then rebuilt it with plain pins all the way through. With that keyway it's enough of a challenge without the bloody spools in every position (And as a nice bonus, I now have a ...... [AHEM]...... "Matched pair" of locks to challenge one of my friends with at some point. LOL !).

New to this don't think it to bad

"i dont do these very often as i find them difficult" me who has never picked a lock and is desperately trying to open this, "very high security 6 instead of 5 pins" meanwhile me with a 7 pin lock

I need to hold the lock while I pick it. What tool do you have for that?

can you use a rake? for these types of locks

I'm desperate to pick a euro spec mp5 to get a reading for my electric, I have the tools but I just cannot get it open. Any advice appreciated.

Wouldn't it be way better to rotate it the correct way, so it is way easier to differentiate between set pins and overset pins? When it's like I'd guess that you can't quite tell if the key pins are loose or not.

Hi Locknoob, my name is Ryan and I have been interested in Locksport for many years and I have always had homemade lock picks and those can be hard to use if they are not made well but over time I have gotten better at fabricating my own lock picking tools but I just ordered my very first lock picking tools set from Sparrows and I'm looking forward to receiving the classic lock pick set from Sparrows and really look forward to seeing the difference between the professional locksmith tools vs my homemade lock picking tools. I like your video's and I did subscribe to your channel a while back.

May I ask why you chose to tension anti-clockwise? I've always tensioned clockwise to good effect.

Ok so I have a stupid question : I own locks like this one and once they're picked (or actually open with a key), I can just rotate the piece freely and it never seems to lock again, what do I have to do to lock them?

a challenge to you. can you make a video of those big chunky hockey puck like pad locks

I’m so bad at this can you just come and pick my lock for me please 😂😂

Great Pick, 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Does it make any difference if the lock is unlocked and needs to be picked open?

How do u know what side you need to turn and make rotative pressure ? Some locks are turned upside down sometimes

are these like the upvc door locks?

I tried it and the lock managed to spin to the right as if it was opening i got all exicted but it was only spining arround and not unlocking ? Any explanation ?? Ive been told its because anti lock picking locks?

Good day. What is the thickness of the tools you are using with such locks?

I'm just getting into lock picking and someone gave me a GeGe euro lock. Are they good quality?

How hard would it be to pick a ERA FORTRESS 3* DOUBLE EURO PROFILE Cylinders lock.

Just started lockpicking. God I stuck at single pick. Ughhhhh

Is it an advantage to pick euro cylinders counter clockwise? Or is this just personal preference? I recently acquired my first euro, and its giving me a good fight... I'm also having trouble with how to hold it to not block the middle mechanisms, or the rear , since mine isn't double keyed

hypothetically, if i were to break into a house, would I be able to open doors like this? It's just hypothetical tho

Help and tips would be nice ta rera

Do you think that picking the lock up side down won’t help you when you have to pick a door lock that’s actually inside a door and in the correct way. So maybe get us to picking up wards

I find picking from front to back easier

Picked mine in just 2 hours for the first time im life but the still won't open. Using a needle to set the pins lol

much faster to snap it .. lol

TOOL-STATION £5 for euro cylinders

Anyone able to help me with a problem I have with my front door Euro profile lock? If the key is inserted with a key in place on the other side it will open but the cam becomes displaced so the only way to extract the key is to lock the mechanism with the door open. I can remove the lock from the frame, twist the two keys in opposite directions them it will reset, then refit the lock. This lock will be replaced soon and be put into my 'learn to pick' pile 😁

Nah, didn't work for me 😦
