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.

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 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.

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 !).

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 😁
