Remember: only pick locks that are yours and that are not in use! Keep locksport legal!

how can i order?
Simultaneously holding my breath and saying "good luck!" at 7:27. Couldn't exhale until 9:50. XD
Lol :-)
Well thought out lock!!!
A nasty pick!!!
Well done!!!
Thanks for sharing this one!!!
👏👍👏👍🐈
Thanks :-)
I love it when you narrowly avoid a BosnianBill style gutting and the fast forward breaks. At least the actual pick went perfectly 😆
Seriously though, top job 👌
Thank you Adam :-)
Interesting pins and well placed pinning by Cisa, Thanks for NOT fast forwarding the gutting so we could all appreciate the lock parts a bit better. Good job on "Loving to Hate this Lock".
I sort of forgot to fast forward, but I don’t regret it after re-watching :-)
My name is Kev G and I just started lock picking. I am having trouble finding sites or lock picking tools can you help me out with some websites so I can purchase tools.
Nice one! A good lock and a talented picker make quite a show
Thank you :-)
great way of describing the feelings towards frustrating locks ive just started i dont have more than 5 locks to play with 3 of them 6 pin euro locks with key ways that look like something crawled aimlessly across a page before dying .My picks and tensioners are all Wish cheapies that im in the process of finishing etc etc but love hate hell yea love them they hate me lol
It’s still a lot of fun though isn’t it:-)
Great job picking and gutting!! I love the love/hate relationship!! Happy pickings!!
Thanks LPG :-)
Great pick!
Ole Tallon knows how to pick them, doesn’t he?
One of the best IMO :-)
So, finally, that's the lock we need to use on our uPVC doors!
No anti snap though.
Yes, so close but so far!
I have yet to try a lock of this type Definitely going to have
Happy picking :-)
Well done 👍. You have a wonderful skill for these dimple locks. I still have trouble with them. Also a nice lock there. I have a smaller Cisa Euro.
Thanks you friend :-)
Like you mentioned.... Like the Abus Extra Classe/Classik, which is giving me lots of trouble 😵😒
They can be a real pain!
Nice job on the picking. You had me on the edge of my seat for the disassembly. I was waiting for pins and springs to fly every where! What a big let down, only 2 pins dropped out.
Please try not to do so well next time LOL
Sorry! Lol :-)
Very nice lock & well done with that Ash.
Thanks :-)
Great lock. I can't believe view easy you made that look. Your picking skill level is very high lock noob👍🏻.
Thanks for putting in the effort to explain the details of this lock and how to pick it. I am sure I wasn't the only one soaking up the information.
I think it only looks easy because you don’t see the practice :-) it’s a hard lock for sure :-)
LPL makes picking these locks, as with almost all others, look incredibly easy. Nice to have a slightly more normal picker.
Thanks I think, lol :-)
Have never encountered a dimple lock in the wild, not that common in the US, at least not my area. Nice video, and nice work 🙂
They are a great challenge :-)
Great picking of that Beauty & Beast CISA. 👍
Thank you :-)
Great great picking my friend, you are right, this is a hard picking, very similar to the Abus extra classe. The T-pins work very well and the keyway is really a pain. I think that the Multipick pick flag is too wide, if you use a narrower one you can manage the pins more easily.
Love the gutting ;o))) I agree, it´s a real pain to gut this things, some pins always jump out ;o))
Sorry about delay in watching and comment my friend, I´m very bussy this weeekend and had no time.
I´m glad you "enjoy" the lock my friend, cheers!! ;o))
I actually prefer wider tips, but, and this I think is the difference: your experience and feel of these locks is world class and your ability to use finer tools corresponds with that skill. Maybe one day I’ll get there :-) I’m just happy I can study your work :-)
@@LockNoob Thanks for your kind words my friend, you are there now but you still don´t know it.
Probably it´s something psicological and both work well. After watch this vid I tried the #09 Multipick flag with a Abus Extra Classe and works great, so you did choose the right tool.
Cheers buddy ;o))
А что лучше купить cisa astral или abus d12?

Thank you :-)
Need to get me some of those picks! Informative video!
Thanks :-)
Awesome job mate. Beautiful lock 👍🤘🖖🍻
Thank you DALP :-)
Those T-pins both above and under the sheerline... Love to hate them 😅
Just like me! :-)
that lock trey is nice!!!
Thank you! :-)
Thank you Lock Noob
Thanks Jim :-)
i have to say, the italians are consistent with everything they make its always something nice and crappy at the same time. you don't know if you love it or want to take a hammer to it? this very moment someone with a cisa is thinking of bashing it with a 5kg hammer,. this very moment someone is with 10 kg sledge is walking up to their Ferrari. this very moment a few hundred Alfa Romeo automobiles are breaking down causing massive traffic.
I see your point :-)
What is your favourite lock to pick? Is there a technique you prefer?
Great question... probably the American Lock 1100 and SPP :-)
@@LockNoob how are your fingertips? I find I get tender with spp, I'll always try to rake and wiggle first.
I find straight out of the box, sparrows tend to be more comfortable to use than petersons. Maybe I'm a little heavy handed. Are you on instagram?
Speaking of love hate relationships with locks, I am still really struggling to get the hang of serrated pins. Spool pins didn't take me this long to master, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I suspect that I may not quite understand what I should be expecting when picking serrated pins. I've watched a few videos about it but I'm clearly still not catching on to whatever it is that I need to realize. I certainly would not be offended if anyone has any advice.
Have you tried this? ruclips.net/video/egeIxzEf5ik/видео.html
@@LockNoob I have indeed. It's a very nicely done tutorial and I definitely appreciate it. I'm still having trouble detecting the sheer line of the pins. I'm sure it will probably end up just coming down to practicing until I manage to pick up on the subtleties, but its just been taking me a really long time to get there which has a way of being a little disenchanting sometimes.
@@LockNoob I did it! I finally managed to pick that American Lock 1100 that I've been working on for so long. It turns out I was inadvertently sabotaging my own ability to make progress. After watching several tutorials on picking serrated pins, including yours, I was starting to think that I must be doing something very wrong as I wasn't experiencing the kind of feedback being described in these videos. I started really scrutinizing everything I was doing and finally I noticed something. I was using a top of keyway tensioner and I realized that it was pressing up against the first pin. I filed it down a little so that it would no longer make contact with the pin. As it turns out, pin 1 was the first pin in the binding order and having the tensioner pressed up against it was really messing things up. Once that problem had been resolved I started getting much different feedback and I was finally able to detect that subtle shift of the core when I found the sheer line. About an hour of practice later and I was able to open that American Lock over and over again. It's too bad it took me a couple of months to catch on to what was going on, but it's definitely a good learning experience. Going forward I will be more mindful of that kind of thing now that I know how much of an effect it can have.
Neat idea for a shim
Thanks :-)
how can i order?
From Multipick
Hey, guys, where are your THUMB?
Um... say what? :-)
@@LockNoob why in hell so much people watch... With 1 in 10 giving thumbs up, even in a nice video like that? Primates without thumbs?
Why does this creep me out
👍🇧🇲
:-)
Fantastic picking as always Ash. I have the same relationship with GeGe's. Take care and have fun.
I can see why! Have a great week Gazz :-)
