Bumping the Magnum Millenco

 A relatively new lock is out in the UK ,the Millenco Magnum which is made in Chine.

This lock however is known in Israel for at least a couple of years (it’s named Superior in here).

The lock contains 7 pins and a side bar (which has another 4 pins)

There are only 3 heights to each pins.

I’ve sent a few of those locks to friends in England and the lock was picked but it’s not an easy one,it requires lots of patience and it’s quite tricky to pick.

I tried to foil the lock at first but this method will not work in here, and then I first started thinking of making a bump key to this lock.

My first instinct was of course that it can’t work because of the side bar and the pins shape in the plug but I’m a great  believer in trying things . Making the groves for the side pins bump key wasn’t so easy at all but I did take some notice to the  VW keys patterns  I have and decided to try a few and after 5 blanks (the key material is very strong and will ruin cutters on the dimple cutting machine) I manged to bump  this lock!

Here is a video on how it’s done.

Here are 2 videos of picking the lock by Mikey and Dark horse.

And Orc and Bill

Also a there is a very good video made by an English locksmith named Jay  from Island locksmith LTD.

I don’t know jay personally but I’ve heard many good things about him and judging from his videos he know his work very well (I can’t put his video  in here without a permission so you might want look for Millenco Magnum in YouTube.)
