Thank you! Just got into lock sport as a hobby and work in a place where people are constantly needing locks cut off their lockers for whatever reason. So far I've been able to save quite a few locks and it's so much more fun to pick them rather than destroy them and people are amazed😂. We had a piece of a kit at work already but very few tools. Had my supervisor order a cheap one and got into it a little more. Now I'm building my own kit and it's a lot of fun! Tried some lockout tag out locks just for fun and got stopped in my tracks. I will continue with a little more knowledge. Thanks again😊!

Only thing missing is you need to point out that this is where tension is the most important thing. Up 'til you get to a spool, "you've" only pushed one way during a full pick. Now you need to let the tensioner turn back the way while still pushing in the same direction.

Dude.. I couldnt even find a video on LockPickingLawyers channel that could show and explain this. Thank you! I am trying to pick my Abus 65/60. I just got my first lockpick set today (Sparrow Classic). I spent 2.5 hours on my Abus, I had a no-brand-name lock I was able to rake in 15 seconds but I only have these two locks. The Abus doesnt even have a key lol. My hands where that warm (over a 2.5hour period) that the "heat resistant" covering my hook pick (and others) came with, the back end of it, sliced through and I had to put black electrical tape on it. I just got the thing! I dont have a 50/1000 pribar for I think its called above the key tension? I only have what came with the set which are Z bars and the ones that look like allen keys. So I am not getting much feedback due to not having that correct tension bar. Any advice on getting this 65/60 opened? Literally my first day. Great video!

@HelpfulLockPicker 2 жыл бұрын

Abus typically have decent tolerances and some security pins. It is likely not a good choice for lock #2. I think you just need more experience first. You can get the prybar (TOK aka top of keyway tensioner) from Peterson or Sparrow. Get the 0.040 and 0.050 also get some bottom of keyway (BOK) tensioner in different sizes.

Is there any particular reason why you use the standard Peterson hook(As opposed to the one with the reduced shank)?I mean personally,I have found that more often than not it’s wide shaft can not only make it difficult to maneuver in key ways,but can inadvertently overset pins as well

@HelpfulLockPicker 5 жыл бұрын

I use the Peterson hook One reach so it is a bit longer than the standard one. What I like about it is it fits further into deeper keyways but everything you said is absolutely true and makes it difficult to use sometimes. One large reasons I use it is because it was my first pick and I have used it since day one.

@trampwithwings4263 5 жыл бұрын

i keep having trouble with BOK tensioning of the wrench kind of dropping or binding on the lip of the plug itself, or (i think-) what is sometimes happening is the wrench kind of twists off level, and moves to a kind of angled position within the cylinder, both blocking access to pins towards the rear of the lock, and also interfereing with feedback from the lock itself....?

@HelpfulLockPicker 5 жыл бұрын

Some locks top of the keyway really just works best. Another common problem with bottom of the keyway is it can bind the core sometimes and just seize everything up

So when you have a false set from a spool pin you rely on the other pins to pull the cylinder back and the false set pin will correct position and open? Im missing something. when the tension returns back to normal position youdont need to touch pin one again? Thx Bro and anybody else. I dont understand why the spool pin would move up and set without touching it. Noob BTW. THX!

@HelpfulLockPicker 2 жыл бұрын

When you set the standard pins the lock goes into a false set because the plug sits on the thinner diameter of the spool pin. When you set the spool it lifts from thin diameter to thicker diameter which makes the counter rotation
