Fantastic tool. I've opened these doors with my Kronos auto and manually but sometimes I need to use a screw driver to turn the cylinder after it starts to and move the bar downward because they can be old and tightly fitted to the slot on the other door. I'm ordering a couple sets of these because a lot of commercial doors have above average locks on them and this seems so much quicker and even with all my tools I'm still learning and sometimes I just can't hit them pins right. I buy forclosed buildings and and houses and if it was not for bill I'd be wasting lots of money and time in locksmiths or door jambs. Thanks Bill!
Nice simple tool, which provides another option to get after these physically tough locking setups, I like it! Thanks Bill, nice review and demonstration!
I ran a shop for a time with a lock of very similar design to this on the front door... the mechanism for the bolt was so bad that jiggling the door made i fall down - found out when I popped to the bank to deposit the previous days takings and came back to an open door - luckily we had a second lock (but it could only be used from the inside so I didn't normally use it... Cool to know that were it not dodgy af that there would have been another way I could have come back from the bank to an open shop
They do seem to come up with some really innovative ideas on a regular basis. I suspect they are locking their engineers in a basement laboratory and feed them bread and water until they come up with something. When they do, Sparrows gives them a month in Vegas, all expenses paid. Just a theory...
@@bosnianbill I suspect the least effective thing you can do to these guys is lock them up. They'd have the door open in a flash. I have to wonder what they feed their engineers & designers though. My guess is a combination of pizza, caffeine & chocolate, possibly all at the same time.
VERY cool... I usually either pick, or use the Peterson bypass tool. So this falls into the category of "when all else fails"... Beats the other destructive alternatives. I've only had to do those twice in all these years, (once was a Medeco with a protective cover on the cam which prevented bypass... it was NOT fun, second was a completely glued up lock preventing both, not AS bad but still destructive and unprofessional looking)... thankfully never had to resort to cutting the bolt (though on the Medeco it might have been quicker lol)..... BUT at that price point it's worth having on hand since not ONLY does it literally pay for itself the first time you use it, it also gives a professional looking, completely non destructive entry.
A common Forcible entry technique is to grab the face of the lock with vice grips and to break the set screws. The lock will the screw out, leaving you to just have to manipulate the locking pin. A bent screw driver can get it. This removes the lock, if you have to replace it, with minimal damage to the lock housing and if fine correctly, no damage to the door.
If the gap is the width of the tool, could you slide it in the gap flat against the lock oriented vertically into the gap, twist counter clockwise and push up to slide into the lock, and then pull down without ever bending the tool?
I'd have to say no. You really do need a small gap to manipulate the tool, so if the gap it too tight you can't position the tool correctly or pull it back out to open the lock. Fortunately, most doors DO have a gap to work with. I've never seen a door with a 0.010" gap, as you suggest. If it were that tight, you couldn't open or close the door. Most gaps are around 1/4", sometimes more.
@@bosnianbill I'm thinking the other way around, width rather than thickness. With a 1/4" gap, as long as the hook on the tool isn't too wide, you could hold the tool with the hook pointed to the ceiling, handle out towards you, and use the tool without bending. Only challenge is if you can pull down in the gap with any leverage instead of straight out once you catch the bar. Either way, cool tool and nice review.
Instead of pulling out the hacksaw a burglar could simply 1/2" drill (especially an aluminum frame) where the pin is, flick it down and over with a screwdriver, then push the bolt down after it has moved a bit.
Hi Bill this is Ryan and I say excellent review of the Sparrows Long Shot bypass tool. I have this bypass tool already picked out for ordering on my Sparrows lock picks account in the View Cart section so I will have this tool soon. I did mention that will learn how to post a link to video's later today in a comment section of one of your videos a few weeks ago and I am going to learn how to eventually. When I ordered my very first lock pick set from Sparrows a few weeks ago I did in a email message to Sparrows give you a shout out and said that from your channel is how I learned about Sparrows and that seeing Sparrows products and pinning mat in almost all the videos you post is why I chose to get my first professional lock picking tools set from Sparrows and I hope that did help you with Sparrows and on my small RUclips channel I also gave you a shout out and said how much of a good influence you have been to me regarding lock picking. I thank you for helping me and others with the videos you post.
My buddy used tools like this for many years. when he was killed I inherited his tools and found lots of tools like this in his kit as well as a bunch of others that I have absolutely no clue how they are used or what they're even for, I'd like to know what they're for but not sure how I'd find out. Any Suggestions would be extremely helpful
A similiar exploit existed on the previous model of Assa 2000 Evo: ruclips.net/video/kvrkLMUiYqM/видео.html but they have since then "patched" the exploit so the locking mechanism is not reachable from the gap between the lock body and the bolt.
@@johndododoe1411 Only vulnerable design is Assa2000evo, and they have a fixed version of Assa2000evo which has a green sticker. Thats all. They didn't change the model number on the fixed version, they just slapped on a green sticker. You can be sure, that if you buy a NEW Assa200evo, that its the fixed version, since the vulnerable version is replaced at all lock outlets. If you however buy on second hand or craigslist or blocket or whatever, look for the green sticker. In other cases, its impossible to tell them apart.
@@sebastiannielsen ASSA has many lock units of this kind, such as the current model 401, I was wondering about the many models in between that might be installed in doors with or without a need to upgrade on next cylinder upgrade.
The key and driver pins are connected by a dovetail joint as well, so it has to be at both the right height as well as rotated to the correct angle or you ain't getting in short of drilling it out.
It’s kind of ingenious simple. The chambers are sort of notched out with the pins having like a tab on them the tab on the pins limit the rotation on the pin so while they do need to be rotated, that rotation amount is pretty limited (and guided) by the notch. Not an easy pick, and rather tricky to learn, but obviously not impossible. For me, up to 3 Pins was fairly easy to learn, it was adding in those last ones where the learning curve went steeper.
I wondered how the pins never rotated too far out of line. That makes more sense. Most of the ones I deal with are... 5 or 6 pins. Thankfully not as a locksmith. Just as a user.
That is almost too simple. Will have to put a plate in front of the lock, letting the customer know that when, not if, something goes wrong its going to be nasty getting the plate off. Its taken this long to come up with that tool?
I really don't like to see professioanls working in the trade to show bypass tools, particularly ones to break into high dollar retail establishments. I mean I can understand there is a group in europe called "the tools" that do sport picking locks, but really the only people who need to know about these tools are licenced professionals. The fact you are giving them away to the general public who have no need whatsoever for them is extremely worrying. They are useful for those licenced professionals sure, but in the public hands they are tools of burglary and will likely be prosecuted as such.

Nice bypass tools and very flexible. Kind of like a mouse finding it's way inside a building. They don't need a very big gap to get in. 🐭🐀
That's what she said
Ha! Looks like I have another "I bet I can make that" project.
Good review, looks like however contest is over. I went to Locklab to register, couldn't find the sign up spot.
Holy moly! Crazy!

Cool stuff Bill! I'll probably buy em if I do that win em from you! Lol keep doing what you're doing. You and LockPickingLawyer are awesome!
Don't you just love a good bypass
I've not seen those picks before, very cool. Not sure if we have those locks down here. 🍺😎
Don'z Lockz this are are EVERYWHERE bro
Sorry, should have mentioned that "down here" was in Australia. Lol
@Andy Ruse they would probably be a Lockwood mortise lock with the 570 oval cylinders.
The more I watch Bill's channel the more I realize how locks are only a delay tactic.
Locks are there to keep the honest man honest.
What do you do with the bodys of locks if someone did epoxy it? Do you just replace the bible and core or chuck it?
You're the man, great video!
Really amazing
Nice review my friend very cool😊👍😊😎😎😎

Great video Bill. How do you use them on a closed door that will have a frame that blocks gaining entry with the tool?
And with the cover plate on too! No room to fit it in
That is pretty cool 😎
AMAZING !!😯😮
Great Vid!
If these tools had been marketed years ago, i might not have retired so soon. 😃
I reckon you could almost knock up something that would do the job with packing tape :O
Look for swing lock producers to block this type of attack. They watch videos to!
wow that was great
That tool doesn’t fit when the faceplate is on the door. And sometimes doesn’t fit even without a faceplate.
aint pickin no medco lock. I dont even understand 100% how they work yet. angled pins? crazy stuff.

nice video.
locks are for honest people
registered for 3 in a row and haven't seen you actually do the giveaways
Good review, neat tools, would likento see it used on a functioning locked door
Should have shown it being done in an actual door :P I don't think it will be easy to use.
It’s kind of a last resort for “easy.” It might be more difficult in a framed functioning door, but easy is relative to other options.
not many doors like this are 1/16th inch clearance between the jam and door. Usually 1/4 inch gap maybe a little less. Plenty of room.
Hard to say without trying I guess.. but I also guess thats why these tools are called "long shot"
"Then if you win, can I have the set?" [I say jokingly]
There is easy, super easy and better than the alternative easy.
I have seen a lot of US lock picking videos, but I must say European locks are much safer !
The Adams Rite lock is about the most common commercial architectural door lock in use in Europe. It can be bypassed in seconds without the NDT tool.
Lockmasters going to be pissed about this one, LKM273
¡¡¡ Great!!! Thanks
That is almost too simple.
Will have to put a plate in front of the lock, letting the customer know that when, not if, something goes wrong its going to be nasty getting the plate off.
Its taken this long to come up with that tool?
That tool makes those 'locks' utterly pointless!
sweet
easy without the door in the way...
Couldn't you just flip the tool over to make it left-handed LOL
