This is also a handy skill to have if you are a locksmith in the field. If you ever get locked out of a lock you are rekeying and don’t want to pick it. You can grab a shim and a key blank or a pick and do this from the back of the keyway to the front. Just incase anyone is as nerdy as I am.
Very nice DMAC! Ive seen this technique in the past but have never tried it myself! Pretty much forgot about it lol! I wonder if i even have a lock this would work on lol. Thanks for sharing that!!
Question mate, what's stopping a lock manufacturer from producing one that doesn't allow for single picking? Make it so that one would need all pins set at once. From what I've learned, wouldn't that defeat the lock pick?
In theory yes, but it's not been accomplished yet, although many have tried. The reality is that physical locks will always have exploits available to defeat them
@@Dmaclocksport Mm, interesting. Seems like a battle everlasting to me. Suppose that would make an interesting video, too; the difference between lock makers and lock pickers.
Great video, nice cutaway lock, great job shimming .
have a great day
Thanks 😎🤙🏻
Haaaaaa!!!!
Fantastically explained Dmac 😀👍
Thanks roy 👍🏻
I have the same lock, now I have to try it 😂
Didn't know this technique, thanks for sharing!
Nice! Learning new things and trying them out! That's the spirit!
Its worth a try 😎👍🏻
Now that's neat. You don't see this often ! Seems like that lock should have an "R" engraved in front of where it says "EGRET".
😄👍🏻

It's worth finding out 😎👍🏻
@@DmaclocksportIndeed, It's on my to do list soon now lol
Nice show my friend, never tried that, but good to know that I could 😂
Works a treat on the cheap shite! 😁
Great vid Dmac, ive been wanting try this for a while but dont have a lock without a lip at the front
I'm gonna check my collection for one now that I have a couple shims lol
Thanks. I didnt think I did either until I spotted this one 😎👍🏻
@paul Have you got one of those cast Tri-Circle padlocks?
@paul Have you got one of those cheap, cast Tri-Circle padlocks?
@@TequilaDave No, I truly hate those Tri-circles.... welcome back BTW, you've been a bit quiet of late
Cool. Would this technique work on something like a Masterlock Pro series, or is there shielding involved with those? Cheers, man. :)
At a guess I'd say they'd be shielded yes 😉👍🏻
I like this 😁💚🔐
Me too! 😁👍🏻
@Dmaclocksport I'd heard, but didn't see it before. Thanks, and now I gotta do it.

Well I'll be dipped in shim.😎
😁👍🏻
What's the last pin in the row? The fifth one.
Which row do you mean?
@@Dmaclocksport The one close to the shackle. My clear lock has one too and I don't know what it's for!
@@brilog69 ah, that'd be the pin that retains the core 😎👍🏻
