wow, that was cool. I finally watched someone pick a Medeco. thank you! P.S. stop making it look so damn easy. spay some water on your forehead and let it drip so we think your sweating it. Great job
As far as I know, If you pick the lock clockwise, as LPL did in this video, then the pins will bind before the sidebar. If you pick anticlockwise, the sidebar will bind first, and you will need to rotate the pins before lifting them to the shear line.
+chris oates Thanks... not unpickable (there are lots of people who have opened them). But I'm trying to put the time in to do it in a controlled and deliberate manner, which seems pretty rare.
@@JasperJanssen Nope, I told them I watched the Video, and they still insisted it couldn't be true...IMPOSSIBLE TO PICK they said...Government Made Locks they said....
@@JasperJanssen And just so you know, I have ZERO experience with lock picking and wouldn't let anyone think otherwise...that's why I didn't argue to much about it...
@@JasperJanssen I think they meant Only Made for Government facility's or some crap...but since there are at least two guys on RUclips who can pick them, well....
.......so I'm happy, very much ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes it is ! Just after your work in that video i can do it ! One hour after my comment lock was being used ) ! In my Medeco 3rd and 5th pins need to turn. And you know, everyone do it as he is comfortable. But just like you do it I can do it too ! Thank you very much for your work in that video !!! 👍👍👍
and this is why it took 45 minutes and three bits every time we had to drill one out to replace it after someone tried to break into it and damaged the keyway.
Very thankful for your video on this lock, I just finished a retired ATM kiosk uninstall in Joliet Illinois and sure enough the door had its original 5 pin medeco still with a key (from 1997ish) and immediately thought of you lol and saved everything before taking it to scrap. Fun fact all the bank & ATM contractors know these as "the one you have to turn backwards" to unlock the deadbolt... Many many calls were made because it lol, you can imagine the unamused voice on the other end of the line once they were told this.
Another fun fact about some ATMs, at least in bank settings, is that if you make a mistake in opening the combination lock that contained the safe in the ATM it would send a silent alarm. There were also drill grids that if hit would send an alarm. These were units made in the mid to late 90s. Might be cheaper now but back then the security for them was impressive.
That was extremely fast for a Medeco ,lock these keys are made to 1/100of and iso if we measure in mm. Is very precise and accurate the square Medaco is up there for me ,and I rate it very high ! Very fast opening that cylinder ! Wow
+pavle vlastimirovic Thanks. Like I said in the video, even I was a little surprised that it opened so fast for me. I had opened this lock a few limes before, and it usually took another couple minutes. Usually its the opposite (the camera adds a minute or two). That said, I'll take some luck every now and then.
I have a couple of these I been trying to pick. I can’t do it YET, but some day I hope to. So I been going back and watching these Videos getting some knowledge. I appreciate you sharing this. Well done L.P.L., and great explanation.
Try removing most of the pins stacks until only one is left. Pick that. Then add another pin stack. then another. Once you get three pin stacks, switch around which key position stacks you are picking. Do 1,2,3 positions, the closest to the shoulder of the key. Then try something like 1,4,5 where you have to reach in there. I taught somebody by giving him a few of the same lock and did this for him. With most medeco locks, the top of the each pin stack is secured by a set screw, so this makes them very easy to play with. If you can pick a 2 pin lock, you can eventually pick a 6 pin lock it just takes longer and more patience. Do not frustrate yourself. Baby steps, baby steps.
+vde Thanks. Pins in false gates are bound up. They have no movement (either rotationally, or up and down). Pins in the true gates more freely up and down, and have a little rotational play.
Very quickly ! Very nice work ! I'm trying to open it lock maybe 2/3 month. My English language bad :( , and I am not understand every word because you talk slang in little moment. First you turn pins and after that to sit them o not. I see you video VERY many times, don't know how......)))) I feel like balance sit in a right way ( i think so :) ) and after that I'm trying to work with pins. But nothing ( You do him 2,28 minutes. It's amazing ! I have time like you with very many lock, and that not beginner brand's ) MTL , mt5+ every profile, moturra c39 , Iseo and more..... . Now I'm trying Kaba experT 22pins and YOUR Medeco ) )) But Medeco break my mind ) . Good day to you......and me too )!
One thought I had was, why isn't the first pin an anti-drill pin, further shielding the pins behind it. But the anti-drill pins are a little on the short side, which means they need to be pushed up a little higher to reach the shear line. It's probably better to have the first one set a little farther down, to help against raking probably.
Did you forget to remove the face plate cover and show that its a kwikset? Cause at this speed that cant be a Medeco, just kidding, get work buddy. Was wondering when your hands will get to Medeco. Kudos!!!
+Papa Gleb LOL. Thanks buddy. I was a little surprised myself... I opened both of those 5-pin Medeco rim cylinders pretty quickly. Once I got the hang of them, I probably averaged about 4 min. per lock (the video, as I mention, was an anomaly). Either these particular locks were pretty easy, or there is a big difference between 5 and 6 pin Medeco locks. In any case, I feel like I'm making some progress on them... getting them open (eventually) was never the problem, but I'm finally getting to the point where I can open them in a controlled, and deliberate way. That's exciting for me.
I service safes and atms . Customer lost the keys to get in. Gotta drill the lock and replace it. Wonder what they would say if I tried to pick it fist haha
Hi Harry, missed my LPL fix while I was away. I see you didn't let 5 lift and rotating pins slow you down! Great job on a difficult lock. Regards, Brian.
Even though I've only picked 1 and a half Medecos(1 six pin and one with only 3 pins),I must admit,when it comes to picking the pins rotationally,I don't get any real feedback from individual pins(I.e whether they rare binding or loose)and just rake them
I am not very good with Medeco locks (yet), but FWIW, I feel for binding, not for movement... movement is hard to feel. Solid binding is easier to detect. Good luck.
Very impressive! I have a medeco myself and will soon try it by myself. Do you think that a new one is much harder to pick, because of tighter tolerances?
I'm probably too late to get an answer, but what is the 6th hole in the cylinder plug for? There were five holes for the lock pins and the 6th hole was further back.
Do all medicos have pins that need to be rotated? Because I have a couple and even got a door nob medico or cabinet one. Anyhow no opens yet. Was wondering if it’s because I need to rotate pins. I feel a bit stupid even asking. But feel like the answer is yes for most🤷🏼. Anyone ???
I thought the whole idea of a sidebar is it'd prevent the picker from being able to bind the pins one at a time. So why were you able to bind the pins one at a time?
But how do you know the pins are set if plug doesn't spin? Pins don't move. Rotating the pins into place automatically engages the sidebar or you must address after rotation? Plus after rotating they spring and bounce again as if not set? Hmm I see but confused.
Are Medeco Maxxum M3 good enough to stop the average burglar? I heard these can be bumped like the 20 dollar home depot locks. if thats the case why buy the M3? no one installs or stocks the high end abloy protect2. I just want to stop the average guy with a bump key or basic picker.
A had a friend get into lock picking and when he saw we had a medeco at home he was like "ahh nice there's no way I can in that ever!" ... Guess technically he could!
Seems like a pretty decent lock design. I guess having the rotation also to worry about means it's sort of equivalent to having twice as many normal pins? While it doesn't stop you from being able to pick it (even without unusual tools), it does make it take longer and probably require more skill to handle the rotation?
This is not a "high security" lock with pins that rotate into slots. They say a Medeco high security keyway can not be picked in under 3 hours. Is this true?
Quick question... Is is overkill to have three extra stacks drilled and ss inserts for drill protection? If you already have two pins that are ss? Just make the sidebar with the first 16th of an inch ss and then no need for the inserts at all. They can put the $ saved into better security pins for it (Anti Picking features) insted? Just a thought. Made this Medeco look easy and they just kick my butt. lol Cheer
It's never over kill IMO. Remember that locks are all about buying time. The better the lock, the more time. The more anti drill pins, the more time it takes to drill.
+CopLock Are they harder? I thought the only difference was the true gate not being cut to the bottom of them pin. That help pick resistance, but only if you are using the "medecoder" method. Is there something I'm missing? '
In one of your videos you talk about how important it is to never pick the same lock twice in a row. Here you say you have about a half dozen opens on the medeco before you shot video. What did you use as filler between medeco picks? Or is the never twice in a row just a beginner rule to keep from developing false confidence
Interesting. So you pick all the pins to the shear line first and then address the sidebar? I've picked one medeco where I would lift and rotate at the same time and it took me at least 15 min to pick a 6 pin. I didn't realize you could do it this way which def seems easier
I'm by no means an expert on Medecos, so don't put too much stock in my methods... I just played with this one for an afternoon then made the video. I've never put the time in the really learn these locks well.
After you pick the driver pins to sheer, do all the pins feel loose? I would imagine that the key pins not being rotated correctly would be cause for them to still feel stiff but maybe i have a misunderstanding.
Thanks. Good question. If you look very carefully during the gutting, you can see a tiny nub sticking out from the top/back of the key pins. This interfaces with a slot in the core and limits the range of rotation.
Maybe since you've opened it before the pins were sorta oriented correctly? This is really impressive. Do you have a tutorial on how they should feel, and how to rotate them?
Slanted teeth are cut to align the chisel points of the bottom pins which determine the location of the sidebar slots in the key. Look down at the key from the top and you will see there are straight across cuts, left angles cuts and right angle cuts.
Very nice. How did you feel for the pin rotation? I haven't tried a Medeco yet myself, but I'm assuming that there is a "tip" or something that you're feeling for to rotate?
+John Svazic Thanks. THe pins have a chisel-shaped tip. It's just a matter of using a pick that can catch apply precise force, and catching the edge of the pin. Over time, you will feel the difference between rotation and slipping. Good luck.
I can open medico in less than 1 min. Its a challenge, and its a secret i shared with 67 year old locksmith who told me to keep it and make a video and send it to medeco, in return you ask for non-disclosure agreements and get your money for mouth shut. It’s strange what i am telling you guys but i promise you, there is a way, and its quick
I do want to point out this is a cheap copy of a medco. with no depth pin and some very odd cuts on the angles. Medco locks have a depth groove also, and this does not have one.... So No... You did not pick a Medco.

"Fences and walls don't work because bulldozers easily go through them."
Virtually no common burglar has the skills of lockpicking lawyer.
A full 2 minutes for the very experienced LockPickingLawyer to pick this open shows how difficult these Medeco locks are to pick.
Cool to see you doing medeco locks ! I used to work for medeco building locks and keys in their electronics department !
wow, that was cool. I finally watched someone pick a Medeco. thank you! P.S. stop making it look so damn easy. spay some water on your forehead and let it drip so we think your sweating it. Great job
+LOST FOUND Thanks... I'll try to make it look harder in the future. :-P
cheers learned a lot
I was always under the impression you had to rotate the pins first then pick so great insight for me cheers
+Pin Pickers A few people have told me that... I'll have to try it. Maybe it's easier. THanks for the tip.
As far as I know, If you pick the lock clockwise, as LPL did in this video, then the pins will bind before the sidebar. If you pick anticlockwise, the sidebar will bind first, and you will need to rotate the pins before lifting them to the shear line.
Randy Mack thank-you didn't know that. God bless
Medecos are just insane. Incredible skills.
Incredible picking - those locks were at one thought to be unpickable !
+chris oates Thanks... not unpickable (there are lots of people who have opened them). But I'm trying to put the time in to do it in a controlled and deliberate manner, which seems pretty rare.
Medeco offered $10,000 Dollars, it has been collected.
I just had two guys, one who says he's been a locksmith for over 30 years, just told me that you can't pick a Medeco.....
I mean, if he was talking to you, he’s probably correct that *you* can’t pick a medeco, isn’t he? Given that very few people can pick them.
@@JasperJanssen Nope, I told them I watched the Video, and they still insisted it couldn't be true...IMPOSSIBLE TO PICK they said...Government Made Locks they said....

Here I am, trying to learn from the master as I pick a safe cemented to the floor of my work. No one knows why this safe is here
I thought the whole idea of a sidebar is it'd prevent the picker from being able to bind the pins one at a time. So why were you able to bind the pins one at a time?
Lockfall labs made a video on how to get the pins to line up with the sidebar ruclips.net/video/Vrh3ZVlde3M/видео.html
PS much easier to use the setscrews on top to take the lock apart instead of using a follower.
+Jeff Moss Thanks for the tip.
So skillful. I really need more practice. Lol. One day I'll get there. I'm interested to know where did you buy that C clip remover??? great video
+CopLock Thanks. The clip remover is part of the lock disassembly kit sold on dhgate.com

called snap ring or spring ring pliers very common used all over by techs and maint. people. grainger harbor freight auto parts stores all carry them
But how do you know the pins are set if plug doesn't spin? Pins don't move. Rotating the pins into place automatically engages the sidebar or you must address after rotation? Plus after rotating they spring and bounce again as if not set? Hmm I see but confused.

Nice picking! I hope to get a Medeco one day and give it a shot!
A had a friend get into lock picking and when he saw we had a medeco at home he was like "ahh nice there's no way I can in that ever!" ... Guess technically he could!

It's never over kill IMO. Remember that locks are all about buying time. The better the lock, the more time. The more anti drill pins, the more time it takes to drill.

+LockPickingLawyer Way harder than those standard type pins. very nasty pins. They have serrations and are harder to pick.
good to know. Thanks.
Medeco. Sorry about the misspelling
I just did a search of Medco Locks on eBay. I won't be getting one soon. Those prices are high. Nice picking on a lock that is "unpickable".
Can you please explain the working of sidebars ?
Since you said you dont have a key for this lock would it be possible to make a key for it if so how?
Great vid,nothing more needs saying 👍👍🔓🍻😘

They only feel loose if they are at the right angle. :-)
So I think a Medico lock with wafers should be the hardest thing to pick am I right or is there any other tricks to make a lock pick proof?
Very nice!
+Korver15 Thanks... email inbound.
Nice work, as usual. Out of curiosity, is it possible to rotate the pins completely around and prevent the key from working?
Thanks. Good question. If you look very carefully during the gutting, you can see a tiny nub sticking out from the top/back of the key pins. This interfaces with a slot in the core and limits the range of rotation.
+LockPickingLawyer Very cool, I missed that.
Medeco Maxum 11*603 like to see you take on this customer report best rated pick proof lock.
before opening you had to insert the key, or a wire for the corners of the pins ..
Can anyone tell me the name of the tools he used so that I can by them? I want to try to open one. Thanks!!
Maybe since you've opened it before the pins were sorta oriented correctly? This is really impressive.
Do you have a tutorial on how they should feel, and how to rotate them?
Old video but ive been practicing on one i got and man i cant get it no matter what attack i throw at it
my medeco key has slanted teeth, does that has different picking protection than what you did there ?
Slanted teeth are cut to align the chisel points of the bottom pins which determine the location of the sidebar slots in the key. Look down at the key from the top and you will see there are straight across cuts, left angles cuts and right angle cuts.
Nice picking!

Is this a biaxial lock?
well done! I never seen that type of lock just heard about rotating the pins, that's got to be difficult picking even though you made it look easy ..

Thank you. I'm in full research mode on Medeco right now. Soon the assault begins. :)
I really need to spend more time with these locks as well. They are very common in the US.
I can open medico in less than 1 min.
Its a challenge, and its a secret i shared with 67 year old locksmith who told me to keep it and make a video and send it to medeco, in return you ask for non-disclosure agreements and get your money for mouth shut.
It’s strange what i am telling you guys but i promise you, there is a way, and its quick
👍🏻
Snap ring pliers = special tool? Okay.
I do want to point out this is a cheap copy of a medco. with no depth pin and some very odd cuts on the angles. Medco locks have a depth groove also, and this does not have one.... So No... You did not pick a Medco.
Medeco in 2 minutes. Why even bother with lock in a door ..
your voice has changed
I would imagine that his microphone has changed too.
Che schifo amico.. Mostro!!!! 👍👍
You can just drill Medeco. It’s a terrible lock.
Why are you putting this online? Just showing crooks how to break into my house…
What is this? A channel for thieves?
