The walking numbs on the latch card are actually for the security bolts in the United States door locks. There is a pin infront of the lock that when depressed stopped the latch from being slipped, but sometimes the door is installed incorrectly and you can use that to push on the pin to have it fall into the latch hole for the door, letting you then latch slip the door

You are 100% correct; that the Adams Rite Bypass tool has little application in the UK or anywhere outside of the USA due to tighter keyways, but the double hook tool for commercial doors is more relevant than some might expect - huge number of these on shop door fronts... Great review BTW.
Yours is the first time I've seen the 'walking nubs' explained; now they make sense. Bypasses aren't SPP but can be fun too. In some of my work, getting access non-destructively is the goal however it's done. The folding hook works for older 'Adams-Rite' store-front door locks, but their newer ones are shielded and the through-the-keyway hook access is blocked too. Still a lot of old ones in use here in the US.

The Covert Instruments Stuff shows the Thought that went into it. But I noticed the same thing with my case from the Echelon-Set... Thanks to the very strong Neodymium Magnet inside, it will sooner or later magnetize any and all Steel-tools you Store inside. So far I've had no problem with that while Picking, but I think It could pose a problem in some special Locks, so its best to keep that in mind. Anyway Nice Video as usual, thx
Yeah. Magnetizing normal lock picks usually isn’t an issue, but with these it could eventually become a problem as they’re used on things that aren’t brass.
I have most of what you spoke of but not the Credit card style tool. I do like you show what each tool is and how to use them. At least it gives me a better understanding that I was using the wrong tool for the situation. I like your videos they are helpful
Tuanks for the rundown. I just got my arbiter today and i wasn't sure exactly how the two commercial tools worked. This was a fabulous demo as well as review.
You’re supposed to open it up then stick it to something metal like a door frame that your working on the lock on so it’s open and you can get and out back the tools as you use them. Also covert instruments does sell their own patches. They even sell a patch that’s a pinning tray that you can actually use right on the case so it’s a useful patch. You know how you were walking the latch you can use the travelers hook to something semi similar like it kind of digs I to or grips the metal then you turn your wrist kind of pushing the latch into the door. Peterson sells a shield breaker for American Locks. The hole idea on the latch slipper was very good. I also like how you mentioned the fit and finish. You always have very good ideas. I hope you share them with manufacturers like Covert Instruments. Have you heard of the k-tool. I just learned of them today. Firefighters use them.
Nice review. It's good to see that they do ship to the UK. I've got a couple suggestions; For the decoder tools I too would like two feeler tools, one for each thickness, where there isn't extra thickness in the handles and the last half inch of the tips are angled down to a point, where the 'point' has a 2mm flat filed on the end. I did this with the Dangerfield decoders (which are shipped with smooth rounded tips) to make feeling the ridges easier. Also, I would like the notches on the notches decoder tools to have an angle from the shaft nearer 90deg instead of the symmetrical V. It would be nice to have the American lock bypass tool in Left handed as well as Right to fit through Left handed warding. Drilling a hole through the corner of the door latch slip tool for a pull strap would be great too.
Nice review thank you. The issue with the case is that it has magnets. That's what keeps it from being good edc unless you want to erase your credit cards and no, the fact that most credit cards use a chip now doesn't mean you can ignore that. The ad copy for these pushes that they're quiet so you can be stealthy. I'm not sure how that's important. Who would the user be hiding from? I wouldn't mention it except that the magnets are a marketing gimmick which lowers the overall usability of the product but people keep pushing it as if it's a "good" thing.
They NEED TO make a titanium version of the American Bypass driver. Best working Bypass driver I've had, meaning it actually works unlike The Sparrows. Only thing is my CI bypass driver already broke and I got it on Black Friday.
For me personally, I think the latch tools are not so good in the uk market as our doors tend to open in, so you have a door stop in the way, the adams rite with the 2 wings is a very nice tool, the locks they are for were very common in the 80's, the padlock tools great, as you said a 3rd tool would be most helpful. Thanks for sharing. 👍
As always a superb review. We must have been thinking on the same page as all the things you mentioned that would be minor tweaks, I was thinking exactly the same thing. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family good sir.
Possibly already a video and I just haven't found it but if not a video on using the notched decoder to decode not bypass a padlock like a M176 would be appreciated. I have mostly found bypass videos.
I have a cheap walmart 40 mm lock, I can't open it with my bypass tool (golf club) if the lock is open I can see it unlatching , but when locked it won't open. Any help would be appreciated
You can get a Chinese lock pick set similar and polish the picks. It's a company run by a lock picking RUclips channel. It's a scam according to my cousin who's a licensed locksmith. 🎄🙏
Halo Mr. LockNoob. Ich wollte Lishi für EU zilinder kaufen. Ich wollte Ihnen fragen welche Arten von Lishi sollte ich besorgen. Danke für Ihre Antwort. Lockpicker Pegasus
Love the idea of a bypass kit, not so sure about the tool style or price. Notched decoders an advantage? Locknoob hasn't sold me on the concept. Travellers hook and card bypass? Don't know about that. I like that case though. I'd go with a couple of decoders, mini-jim, thumbturn bypass drivers, mica sheets, shank/knife, and maybe adams rite and American padlock bypass. That lever-latch tool though ❤ Going to wait for that as a separate.😊
Ive bout the arbiter kit am I the only one not able to properly use the bypass driver I have watched video after video I I sent it straight clicks after wiggling and I can not turn it I am using an 1100 American lock
It's not the first time he has shown his face. During the beginning of his first live, he accidentally flipped the camera around (assuming he was using his cell phone, he hit front view instead of forward) and gave us a complete full on face shot. I'm 99% sure it was before the live was being "recorded" so it isn't in the replay at all.
On further research, I found that the older genesis set was farmed out. The new ones have the CI logo etched on them ; mine do not, so were from another pick maker, than the current ones. So it would appear are stronger. The set I got can easily be bent side to side, not springy at all like a Multi-Pick.
My cousin is a licensed locksmith and says that that company is a scam. It's associated with a lock picking channel. Merry Christmas too you and God bless 🙏🎄
'Scam' in what way? I would say, sure it's more a locksport hobbyist outlet than a pro tool supplier, but the tools do exist and locknoob here shows that when you pay for something, it does get delivered. I have the opinion that the company owner is mainly doing their best to encourage the hobby, raise funds and pressure the lock manufacturing industry to update and improve locks that have insecure out of date mechanisms. I applaud that on all counts. It's helped me look more closely when choosing locks for actual security purposes.
How is CI a "scam"? Their tools aren't junk, they're priced commensurately with the rest of the industry, and they currently have the best BOK turning tools out there, IMO. I'm not saying CI makes my favorite picks or sets (they don't) ; and they seem to heavily model their design after MultiPick (laminated popsicle stick style) but they're legit 100%.
Decoder? lol. Lock pick for pin and wafer locks. Cheapest pick set iv'e ever seen lol and I'm a Master locksmith. Haha. Did you forget about the deadbolt? for latch slipping devices? 🤣
I am glad you are not a 100% fan boy when it comes to this company. Nothing is perfect. I bought this kit knowing I wouldn't be using some of the tools but still wanted them for my collections. I am going to add a hole in the latch tool like on OscarDelta's now discontinued Hookitool.

Those decoder tools. So thin and bendy and good, you told us twice! Merry Christmas, mate.
fantastic video. so educational. i don't even own this set and found your run through incredibly accessible. Thank you so much.
Very cool, and thank you for the demonstrations!
This is exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks!
I have the genesis kit and I put black heat shrink on all the handles, it makes them easier to grip and they look a little better.
I did the same on the tools in the video.
Great bit of kit mate 👍👍
thank you LockNoob

I regret not spending a LOT more on the BF sale.
As always a superb review.

Have a wonderful Christmas with your family good sir.
As far as the finish i bet theres a lot that could easily be done at home for little time/investment that would dramatically change the finish
I noticed you didn't show the latch slipper in correlation with the travelers hook
I would say this set isnt just the US market but all of North America and probably central and south America as well.
I just wish it came with the black case. I want the tradecraft case, but I'm not a fan of the green one.
I like the idea of the set, but it does seem to be quite specialised. Cool if you have a lot of stuff it would work on though. :o)
wow, im second. now you know i am a hardcore fan of you.
Those are most commonly used on commercial buildings in the United States that have glass doors that's where that's now lock is found here
Excellent man, your presentations is standard for high quality.
👍🏻
Possibly already a video and I just haven't found it but if not a video on using the notched decoder to decode not bypass a padlock like a M176 would be appreciated. I have mostly found bypass videos.
You can’t decode the 175 and 176 with the notch to my knowledge, they work differently inside.
I have a cheap walmart 40 mm lock, I can't open it with my bypass tool (golf club) if the lock is open I can see it unlatching , but when locked it won't open. Any help would be appreciated
I don't see what the problem is with the magnets.
I think it works very well.
Good review!👍😀🐾🐈🐈⬛🐾🇬🇧🍻☃️
How much did you get it for on the Black Friday sale? I want to know for next year's possible % discount. 💰

Yeah the set is $40 right now
It's on sale until December.
Personally, I think it'd be quite great if the entire back of the case were magnetic.

I bought a Genesis set from Covert In., and found the picks easy to bend ..... too SOFT
Been using mine for a year with absolutely zero trouble
You must be putting hella tension on the pick. Lol

American doors and locks are funny
Another pile of useless junk, nothing there that some wire and a plastic bottle won’t do the same thing !!!
Enjoy the set. You might not find any tools made of a better metal.
