Excellent tutorial on how to pick this type of lock. Great explanations very easy to understand and the accompting graphics were useful. Thanks for doing this video, cheers

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I've learned so much from others, so it's nice to be able to share some of the things I've discovered. I wish I had recorded back when I first got it open. I might have gotten a "first public" on it.

Thanks for making this video. I haven't picked any of these in my collection. Let it be the normal Yale 500 or the Yale 500 Plus. I bought the Yale 100 and the 250 to try and ease into picking these. I should really figure out how to make these cutaways. Right now tapered pins and barrel pins are giving me a hard time.

This is a PDF of my Cutaway Quest submission for black belt, if it helps at all: drive.google.com/file/d/1fN1Q4UEODXnlHlDQzhJK9-jTsUT4fTaV/view?usp=drive_link I go into details about this one and the Abus E50, which has more photos as I was making it specifically for the quest. I made both with only hand tools other than some touch-up on the 500 with a rotary. I wouldn't recommend going quite to the extent I did with the E50 though as it was almost a failure.

Very nice! If you ever make an analysis of a standard GEGE, please make me aware. I've picked may challenge locks in GEGE format, but a stock one is murder. 😁

Will do! I only have a pExtra. That took a bit of work to learn though, so it would be a good candidate. I do mention a few tips in my pick & gut but don't go into much detail: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJ-bYLNytcCummQ.html

BTW, I would love to hear from folks if their 500 Plus binds up in a deep false set or not. I'd like to figure out how common this is or if it's been a fluke for me. My cutaway isn't a good example and my unmodified half only does it sometimes.

HEADS UP - I still have the box for my 500+ and noticed it doesn't say "Plus" anywhere on it. It says "500 Series". It looks like it should have an original in it but doesn't. Georgia Jim just bought a 500+ to help rank it, and the box actually says "Yale 500PLUS Series", but it had an original 500 in the box. Buyer beware! It's impossible to know what you might get, especially on Amazon. That's where we both got ours.
