My father have that type of bicycle wheel lock, but much older and he would killed me if I "gutted" it. 😂 I didn't know how it works, but now I know. Thank you!
Yeah these locks were realy popular here in The netherlands a decade or 2 ago. We called them stuiterslot, which means boincing lock. As you could very easily just pick up the bike, make a little speed walking then drop back wheel and the spokes will ram the lock and 2 out of 3 times it will just jump open. Really cheap shit. But thank you so much for this video.
I found this really interesting, sort of expected a few more levers looking at the key. That locking latch security measure reminds me of the internals to a coin operated locker mechanism. I have a more traditional lever version of that type of lock I still need to pick too 😃😃
Great video, Ive always wondered how this type of lock works :). Maybe you can find a more recent ring lock like Axa, open it up and show us how it looks inside :)
had a bike with such a lock, back in the eighties. One day I mistakenly took my friend's bike because his bike looked so similar. My key worked perfectly on his bike and I only realized my mistake a few kilometers down the road...🙈 thanks for the nice video
Reminds me a lot of the supermarket trolley lock, you disected a while ago. Long ago, when I had these attached to my kiddy bike, I was more afraid of forgetting to lock it up myself and then have some joker block my bike and running away with the key 🙄.
A bit like simple warded padlocks where only the tip of the key does anything, but this bike lock is not even as good as those....nice to see inside anyway :o) I like the 'fake bitting' on the key !
Nice. This was the basic bike lock when I was growing up in the Netherlands in the early 80's. Long since superseded by better ones. The type in general was/is only ever intented for people just cycking away on your bike with no extra effort. And in practice always used in combination with a chain (or similar).
UPDATE: This lock is even bigger of a joke. I used the hammer to hit the handle and in less than three hits it opened (without the use of excessive force)
Interesting, I have a lock with exactly this shape and construction but the key is completely different, similar to a warded lock key, and has to be turned.

20 or so years ago almost everyone in the Netherlands had this kind of locks on their bicycles. Very cool to see how they work!
Thanks for the kind reply :-)
Thank you, this helped me open the lock on an old family bike we lost the key too🎉
Really interesting lock & great to see the inner workings. Great video Have a fantastic week. 👍
Thanks mate :-)

Haha, the gutting was quite irreversible, but I had no use for the lock anyway. All in the name of science ;-)

Cheers - yeah, I can imagine that this type of lock makes for a perfect teenager - fun.

Yeah, a bit disappointing that half of the bitting is fake.
Thanks for doing a breakdown of the lock!
Cheers, I always love to open up unknown stuff ;-)
I love your videos. That's a neat looking lock and a nifty key design -- too bad it's so easy to bypass.
Thanks a lot for your nice comment. Love the key and that you can push open the lock. However, you cannot trust the lock to keep thieves out.
Interesting video, I remember this kind of locks many many years ago...
Yeah, sure a lock of the past.
Great video, Ive always wondered how this type of lock works :). Maybe you can find a more recent ring lock like Axa, open it up and show us how it looks inside :)
Sure, the next ring lock will gutted as well.
Interresting lock thanks for the video my friend
Cheers buddy :-)
Interesting idea, shame about the security. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
Yeah, not so secure.

Great vid, nice lock, probably just confused most people wanting to take the bike.
The worst with these locks it that they might be overseen by a thieve. The attempt to drive away would then destroy the spokes. Not so good ;-)

True, this is a disadvantage with the key-retaining design.
Interesting lock...
Great videos
Cheers :-)
Great to see you back thank you
Cheers mate and thanks for watching - not much time right now.
Very unusual lock, interesting, great explanation, happy pickings
Cheers and thanks for watching.
These locks are very common on old german bikes. Possibly other places in europe too.
Very interesting thanks for sharing, great video.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for stopping by - cheers :-)
Thanks for showing this unusual lock
Cheers and thanks for watching.

Haha, yeah the fake bitting is cool and also that you can unlock the lock with a push motion.
I remember this lock from 30 years ago in the Netherlands. It is still on the bike of my 13 years old daughter. Her bike is that old.

The type in general was/is only ever intented for people just cycking away on your bike with no extra effort. And in practice always used in combination with a chain (or similar).
Yes, it's a supplementary lock. I actually don't like it because a thieve could try to drive aways and ruin the bike.
@@Potti314 All (would be) thiefs in the Netherlands expect a ring lock.
@@ralphmacchiato3761 ok, I see - then we are safe ;-)
From experience I can say that these keys alle more or less looked the same, but did not work in each lock. Apparently enough variation.
Very interesting lock, I’ve never seen anything like it before. I don’t think it would stop very many thieves.
Thanks for tuning in - it's for sure a lock of the past and not secure at all.
I lost my key for the same lock, and I have tried your method but it doesn't seem to work, can you offer some extra tips please
UPDATE: This lock is even bigger of a joke. I used the hammer to hit the handle and in less than three hits it opened (without the use of excessive force)
Yes, sometimes force _is_ the solution ;-)
i give that company points for being different, unfortunately its easy to open
Yeah, it's an odd design.
Interesting, I have a lock with exactly this shape and construction but the key is completely different, similar to a warded lock key, and has to be turned.
Ok, seems many cheap designs like this exist. I find it kind a cool to only push the key in.
I m working streching spring u r order
What do you mean?
