locksport: Abloy Exec PL240 picked & gutted (O4/E1H44 key profile)

I bought this lock without key. I had no suitable rear tensioner available for this type of Finnish Abloy Exec. I did not wanted to waste a key to make a rear tensioner. I noticed that the key guiding element is wider in this Exec type. So I made an export exec 2in1 pick and slightly shaped first blocking disc. Seems to be functioning solution. Lock is still fully functioning but the first disc is slightly modified. Nice learning.

Well done! Nice approach of modifying the disc 👍👍 And Amazing tools, well used!

Wowser awesome stuff mate i have several of these and have never had the gumption to do it properly i did it on one (filed to profile plate nubs down to nothing) but never thought to thin the tip enough to get past that horrid filler fingy churrs idanhurja sweet job as always!

[@TuMayPicking]

Buen trabajo 🎉🎉🎉

[@JONSLOCKPICKING]

Excellent picking as always. I have sento with the same set up. That’s a great idea of filing the profile plate.

[@idanhurja]

thanks! @@JONSLOCKPICKING in sento disc controller is so tight this idea might not function or would require more tuning for the lock

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@idanhurja I think Sento would require off-center picking tool but the method that you used in some older video, namely silver soldering (or even glueing) a tube to half of the key and using that as the axis of half a picking tip, should work for every Sento lock unless I'm mistaken. However, such a tool will have a lot more play and identifying binding disk from slightly moving disk will be a lot harder.
You can always decode a disk detainer lock as long as you can apply tension to the lock and then correctly identify *any* binding disk. That will get the lock open after tensioning the lock up to {number of disks} × {possible gate positions per disk} times which is obviously much easier task than the one in {possible gate positions per disk}^^{number of disks} you would have to battle against without feedback.

@@MikkoRantalainen that is exactly how i have picked Sento locks: one keyway side using pick. and turning those binding discs

[@jackgates6949]

Is this basic pick available commercially, or home made? Source perhaps? Very nice video!!

[@idanhurja]

@@jackgates6949 thanks! unfortunately pick is not avail commercially. its home made by i. some other are selling picks for export version of abloy exec, like Hux maybe. if you google silver bullet pick might find it

[@JaakkoF]

@@idanhurja If there is enough interest, I could see if producing these commercially would be possible. Have to see what profiles it would work withh or if an universal version could be made.

[@laurenarndt464]

Nice work. What hollow tube sizes are you using to make your picks. What is the material? Source?

[@idanhurja]

@@laurenarndt464 thanks! rear tensioner is a shaped 1mm diameter ejector pin. picking tip tube is 1.5mm steel tube. picking tip is piece of bbq stick silver soldered into steel tube. ejector pin and steel tube ordered from aliexpress. bbq stick from local store. maybe could use 1.5mm ejector pin for rear tensioner, then would get a bit more robust 2in1 pick

[@laurenarndt464]

@@idanhurja I see Aliexpress sells seemless capillary tubes, for example 1.4mm ID by 2.0mm OD. But, I suspect the material is too soft. What steel tubing are you using? Please, be specific.
