Thanks bud. This lock was really quite good. Is there someone in particular I should send this to next, or should I just add it to one of my packages going out to other pickers? As for Medecos, I'm just OK with them. I eventually get them open, but I'm not nearly as controlled as I would like. Why?
that groove in chmber 6 on the core would be from the driver dragging on the core while turning from being too long and too much spring pressure possibly. not thinking it was done deliberatly
Nice picking LPLAWYER! That seems like a great challenge. Those pins are beautiful. I have never had a chance to pick a lock with pins like that but I think it would be a great challenge to me too. Keep on picking!
Wow, superllama pulled out the stops with that lock. Those free floating rings on the pins would seem to make it much harder to pick. Didn't seem to slow you up much. Nice lock and nice work picking it!
Nice picking LPL! That Llama makes some mean pins... He sent me a challenge Medeco of all things that was filled with those floating wafer pin-in-pin gremlins. Had to pick out of the deepest false set I've ever seen :-/
Hey great picking man. I happen to know thats a real hard lock. Lol.... Did supa ask you to send that to me next? Im supposed to be in the list after you. Unless you had other plans. If so Lmk and ill get you my details.. Ty
3 1/2... It's hard to compare locks since my still level is constantly changing (hopefully, improving), but this was definitely one of the harder ones I've come across.
I guess you are all saying that SL made those pins himself? I may be able to pick eventually but I'm no metal machinist ... I had hoped to find out where those pins came from and to get some.
Thanks... unless the warding/bitting combination is silly (which is a weak way to build a CL IMO) I'll get them all eventually... "eventually" being the key word. Though I have one lock (from Tahoepicked) which I have never opened. I have not lost hope.

*noob picking while listening, GOT a lock that's been kicking my azz! So Satisfying and Zen!
AMAZING! You blew through that lock like nothing! excellent job LPL! How comfortable are you with picking Medeco?
hats off ! we all appreciate the hard work you put in that lock

I'd like to hear bosnianbill's jokes about those pins , he makes me laugh a lot
I have PM'd you VIA reddit :) I have a medeco challenge lock list I am making up :)
Wow that lock had many state and you went through all of them - great entertaining picking and cool pins. Thanks.
Thanks.
that groove in chmber 6 on the core would be from the driver dragging on the core while turning from being too long and too much spring pressure possibly. not thinking it was done deliberatly
that's what I thought too
Sounds about right. Probably the set screw was down too far at first.
Very interesting videos LPL keep up the good work!!! You introduced me to this so interesting hobby, thank you!
Thanks and welcome to picking -- I'm glad my videos helped lead you to this enjoyable hobby.
Wow, those pins must have taken a great deal of time to produce. Very impressive indeed
Indeed. SL did a great job.
I have a Corbin. Dad used to install them in the 60s. You can still get them today.
I couldn't believe how much rotation on the core there was before it unlocked. I was very impressed by this lock!
Definitely an impressive little lock!
Makes me so proud
Beauty of a lock, great pick thanks for the video.
Thanks.
INTERESTING PINS .GREAT SPP'D lpl thanks for sharing it. 😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks.
Great job picking as always brother and thanks for sharing!
that was some great picking, maybe one of these days i'll be able to pick these challenge locks i see being passed around
Thanks...
Awesome job again LPL, you picked that lock under 3:30 minutes. Those custom driver pins would have driven me crazy.
Thanks. Challenge locks may not be as hard as you think. Just feel for feedback and act accordingly. It may take a while, but eventually they open.
Those driver pins took a lot of work to create, great video.
Indeed, SL put a ton of work into this lock, and it shows!
Nice picking LPLAWYER! That seems like a great challenge. Those pins are beautiful. I have never had a chance to pick a lock with pins like that but I think it would be a great challenge to me too. Keep on picking!
Thanks -- definitely one of the more intricate and challenging locks I've gotten recently.
Nice job and some great pins.
Thanks.
Wow! how does the tension differ from a regular lock? What does it feels like picking thru each type of pins?
Tough lock, nice picking.
Thanks.
Nicely picked! Supallama put in some really nice pins on that one! Do you have a po box? I would love to send you a challenge lock or two some time.
Thanks. Shoot me an email (see "about" tab on my channel), and I'll send you mailing info.
Wow, superllama pulled out the stops with that lock. Those free floating rings on the pins would seem to make it much harder to pick. Didn't seem to slow you up much. Nice lock and nice work picking it!
This was definitely a really nice one... and it definitely slowed me down... just didn't stop me. :-D
very nice!
Thanks.
Where can I find a tension wrench like that?
Nice picking LPL! That Llama makes some mean pins... He sent me a challenge Medeco of all things that was filled with those floating wafer pin-in-pin gremlins. Had to pick out of the deepest false set I've ever seen :-/
Yikes! Now I know why he was asking how comfortable I was with Medeco's. LOL. Answer: Not very (not nearly as much as you).
nice job tough looking lock
Thanks -- it was definitely a tricky one!
Nice!!
Hey great picking man. I happen to know thats a real hard lock. Lol.... Did supa ask you to send that to me next? Im supposed to be in the list after you. Unless you had other plans. If so Lmk and ill get you my details.. Ty
I'm waiting on instructions from SL. If none, it's yours.
Ok .He should be telling you the same thing. Thanks again.
Intricate pins and sleeves opened in 2½ minutes with a standard hook.
3 1/2... It's hard to compare locks since my still level is constantly changing (hopefully, improving), but this was definitely one of the harder ones I've come across.
LockPickingLawyer I started the clock at 0:50 when pick entered keyway. Fast either way.
I guess you are all saying that SL made those pins himself? I may be able to pick eventually but I'm no metal machinist ... I had hoped to find out where those pins came from and to get some.
i think it was designed to keep you out ;)
Well done not to much of a challenge for you ...
Thanks... unless the warding/bitting combination is silly (which is a weak way to build a CL IMO) I'll get them all eventually... "eventually" being the key word. Though I have one lock (from Tahoepicked) which I have never opened. I have not lost hope.
Can you pick an Emhart high security that has the angle cut key?
Yes and no... getting it open isn’t hard. Not destroying the lock in the process is.
Wow! That is an impressive challenge lock, but you just marched right through it like The Terminator!
