Champions Mottura
Some time ago I got hold of some very nice Italian locks , as it’s clear to me that Italy must be the locks and keys capital city of the world . Silca which is the best keys cutting products company and any many other companies are from there.
The locks that I got are interesting ,the design and structures are amazing and except for one lock which I found impossible to pick they all have a way to get around.
The first lock I’m going to cover is the Champions Mottura which locks like C-38 from my research .
This is a very well made lock which has everything that a good quality lock needs
A very unique and strong anti snapping mechanism
The key has 5 pins plus a magnetic one.
So all in all the lock seems very promising while I was braking my head on how to make a tension wrench with a magnetic element and the hours of pain that this lock is going to give me I went SPP just feel the lock and 2 mints later that lock was opened..
I do know from other lock pickers friends that once that lock is picked very easy you lose interest and that is a big shame because this lock was very expensive and well made ,however you could expect the manufacture to come up with a better anti picking design and especially with the magnetic pin that seems like a normal pin.
Here’s a short video of picking this lock
More pictures of the plug and pins
P.S
Please excuse the quality of the first pictures and video as I had to use my phone..
Lovely picking Raf …. Like you say where does the magnetic pin come into play?

The magnetic pin is not very well made Bill, maybe OK for key protection but not for picking.
