Outstanding picking buddy. I'm just happy 1/ it can be picked & 2/ it was no pushover👍👍 I never got it picked so nice to see inside and " how it should be done"👍😘🍻
+Pick Beard Thanks. As I mentioned to Rick, the combination of the keyway and bitting is probably what got you. Most people don't even have a pick that will both fit the keyway and reach that high!
Hi Harry, Interesting lock all round, with a trap et cetera, no wonder you picked it, as we say, anti clockwise. Tight keyway, and that last key pin .... deja vu, may be. You have the touch, well done! Regards, Brian.
+Brian Hignett Thanks. This was a tricky lock, no doubt, and the beveled pin could be a problem for the unwary. That said, I think the counter milling may have taken the beveled key pin out of play for the second half the picking (i.e., after you engage the counter milling), so it's not quite the obstacle that it is in a Lockwood. Also, I was very lucky that I looked up the lock before picking, and discovered the trap pin... that's the second time I've gotten lucky with a trap pin. Same thing happened with the EVVA DPS. I didn't even know there was a trap pin until I gutted it!
+richardwales Thanks, and thanks again for the lock! The combination of the keyway and bitting is probably what got you. Most people don't even have a pick that will both fit the keyway and reach that high!
These are certainly mesmerizing, and informative... But, has there ever been any lock that the "lawyer" couldn't pick? I'd really love to see which one that was and why that was possible not to pick
so why didn't the trap pin engage? becouse you didn't turn the core enough? I have one of these locks and i consider learning how to pick it but that trap pin worries me
+RJ Robert James Thanks. The keyway is definitely tricky in its shear number of warding lines, but in practice, its not too bad with the right pick. What really makes this one tricky is the combination of warding and bitting.
man what a great lock !! :) awesome warding and great security pins plus a trap pin !!:) its the complete package !! :) you did good picking it !! do you think the narrowing on the key pins could cause overseting or unlikely ?
+Lukes Locks Thanks. The bevel on the top of the key pin can definitely lead to oversets if you are not careful. See my video on Lockwood beveled pins, and I discuss that exact issue.
+LockPickingLawyer yes ive been having the same issue on a couple of challenge locks im working on the key pins have a bevel that's kind of similar it creates false feedback makes it a little tricky :)

Oh my god.
I have one of these and am completely in awe of anyone that can pick it.
Amazing
Great picking and gutting as always Harry, a pleasure to view. Very interesting lock also.
Thanks for sharing ;-)))
+Tallan Pick Thank you
What a great job picking with changing your picks as you need them. Like I've said before you are the king.
Thanks...

nice one Harry, I got this one from pickbeard. never got it open once im afraid. evil keyway an biting for sure.

Evil trap pin! Very nicely picked - thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Great lock!
+Potti314 Thanks... just glad I learned about the trap the easy way (on the internet).
I watched this because I could not figure out how an "Oval Cylinder" would be able to turn? What a noob ..
Great lock, well picked! Thank You
These are certainly mesmerizing, and informative... But, has there ever been any lock that the "lawyer" couldn't pick? I'd really love to see which one that was and why that was possible not to pick
wow you did well, what a lock, looked intimating! well done...
+tonyholt90 Thank you.
Great lock and awesome job on the picking. I'm addicted lol
Very interesting lock. Great vid.
+Papa Gleb Thanks.
so why didn't the trap pin engage? becouse you didn't turn the core enough? I have one of these locks and i consider learning how to pick it but that trap pin worries me
were you able to turn it 360degrees while picking?
Great lock. I really like that keyway.
+RJ Robert James Thanks. The keyway is definitely tricky in its shear number of warding lines, but in practice, its not too bad with the right pick. What really makes this one tricky is the combination of warding and bitting.
Great job. Nice warding. The trap pin is conveniently placed at the end of keyway, would be nightmare to recover from that.
+Mike Pergl Thanks. That trap pin could definitely be tricky to recover, and impossible if you didn't know where to look for the release.

Hey LPL, what kind/brand of lock do you have on your home door?
You have to turn it around. That's not the way it's mounted in the door. ;-)
Nice lock!
+Jeff Moss Thanks.
